There was one factory, in some city other than Wuhan, which re-started last week...and then someone got the virus, so they sent their workforce into isolation.

And even if they do get some factories going, that doesn’t mean they’ll be producing anything near the pre-virus days, due to any number of factors.

How many people who knew how this or that worked are dead now? Or simply so very ill they can’t really work for months.

Restarting will be dodgy due to that alone.

Port Of Long Beach:

Cargo volume was down slightly in January at the Port of Long Beach, compared to the same month in 2019.

Terminal operators and dockworkers moved 626,829 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) last month, down 4.6% compared to January 2019. Imports decreased 4.3% to 309,961 TEUs, while exports dropped 7.4% to 108,624 TEUs. Empty containers sent overseas declined 3.7% to 208,244 TEUs.

The February data will tell the real story, as January shipping was already on the way before this started.
