Yes, I have some associates on a business forum who are aware of every nuance of trans-Pacific shipping, but if ships fail to be loaded and dispatched from China, only around five days until their absence shows over here.

I figure it will start hitting in about a week. That’s when we’ll start seeing empty spots store shelves. It won’t be due to hoarding or panic buying, just cut-off supply lines. We’ll quickly get to see the downside of our “Just-in-Time” inventory systems.
But it will THEN shake confidence in remaining supply lines, which will start panic buying and hoarding. So, bottom line, if you’re considering panicking (which I plan to do on Wednesday), this is probably the last week you get before everyone else is panicking next to you. But it is a personal choice.
...by the way, how often do your supply lines get cut due to the common flu?
