In the planning phase, sufficient stockpiling and distribution of resources, along with rapid and clear two-way communications were identified as critical determinants of success both within Australia [22], [23] and internationally [19], [20].
It is worth noting that the above scenarios can take place even for sufficient drug stockpiles for which run-out does not occur, if a policy for adaptation (e.g., reduction) of treatment at the population level is implemented due to wide-spread drug-resistance [ 15].
Although the member states initially looked into the possibility of an EU-level vaccine stockpile, the member states opted to establish national stockpiles sufficient for their projected needs.
Across the different attack rates, stockpiles sufficient to treat <1% of the population are unlikely to result in major changes to disease dynamics.
Switzerland has stockpiled sufficient NI to treat 25% of the population and considers using some of the stockpile for prophylaxis in health care workers and essential services (fire brigade, police, etc).
If Iran, after leaving the NPT, had stockpiled sufficient MEU for several bombs and hidden it well, the chances of finding and destroying it would be small.
Therefore, the only reason to bat on, as captain Alastair Cook opted to do, was to stockpile sufficient runs that he could set ultra-attacking fields when the tourists eventually came out to bat.
Despite the sanctions, Pyongyang now has a nuclear stockpile sufficient for around half a dozen warheads, has made substantial progress in developing a long-range missile and is working towards miniaturising a nuclear warhead for an intercontinental ballistic missile.
However, a 20% stockpile sufficient to treat all patients across the 3 waves would result in ≈53% reduction in deaths.
