I understand how they got delayed initially, but what factors have prevented things from rebounding? For instance, I work in the medical field an am being told some product is “backordered” multiple times a week. Besides inventing a time machine, what concrete things are preventing a return to 2019 supplys?

It took us decades to build those supply lines. The pandemic didn’t just delay them, it broke them. Shipping companies closed, material suppliers closed, equipment was retired, people who know things moved on, or just died.
It’s not easy to rebuild all that, even if we have a rough idea of what it’s supposed to look like.
