Masks like that don’t help with a virus.

It seems they may help but not prevent.

However, since they are mostly made in China, then sales due to its virus export may help their economy.

Has anyone tried to buy surgical masks lately? If you order from Amazon, the delivery dates are out into the mid February and mid March time frames.

That is because they are likely from the same place as the virus. On Ebay (much cheaper for things like this) its estimated is between Mon. Feb. 24 and Fri. Apr. 3. FREE Economy Shipping from China/Hong Kong/Taiwan to worldwide. (virus not included) .

Thanks for the reply, but would you mind translating this somewhat cryptic message?

Thank you for your reply. When it comes to abbreviations I am not a bright shining light. In any case have a great day and stay healthy and well.

Sit through an entire college graduation ceremony. I just sat through several last year at ASU. If I had to guess a number -I’d say 25% Chinese.

And if I am off, I’d bet it’s because my guess is too low.

The supply chain will be messed up now. It is going to be a collapse in two weeks.

How many critcal path parts are not getting shipped? How many till the lights go out?

I have some experience. Typically, you have the big stuff in house. Things like a major natural gas pump and such. But bearings, grease, etc maybe only enough for a month or two.

The issue isn’t what happens by March, but how long the chain can be rebuilt.
