Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble has warned around 17,600 products could be affected by the coronavirus. P&Gs CFO Jon Moeller, speaking at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference in the US, said P&G used 387 suppliers across China, shipping more than 9,000 materials.

Absolutely 100% agreed.
But this will be a really TOUGH lesson to learn.
The beatings have already begun.
Denying them is pointless.
Having said that, if you use any P&G products and have ready cash, might want to get that extra bottle of Dawn. When supply chains DO move, things will likely cost more.
