You still miss the point.
What happens to the Ford and GM plants when there are no parts....from China.
What happens when 54% of the meds used in hospitals stop...from China.
What happens when the shale oil fields shut down because of the oil glut...because China.
What happens when lumber from Canada and Alaska stops being shipped because...China is not working.
What happens to the pilots and maintenance folks who don’t work because the flights stopped?

So, a quick arithmetic question:
If half the farm laborers, half the flour workers, half the bakers, half the truck drivers, and half the supermarket workers are all sick/caring for the sick/caring for kids due to shut down schools / scared to come to work near simultaneously, how much bead is for sale?
Any math majors in the house?
