I think only if the secondary exposure is within 24 hours after initial contamination, products would then be considered "probable carriers". Over half of the incubation period would be exhausted in air travel from China to U.S. alone - and most products are container shipped. Leastwise, I'm hoping so....

Wal-Mart ships a lot of their stuff directly into their free trade zone in NorthWest Arkansas.

They receive a lot of their merchandise at that free trade zone via direct jumbo jet service from Communist China and other nations.

Considering that just about everything comes over via boat, which means there's a delay from factory -> boatyard (in a sealed container), boatyard -> ship, ship -> sea, sea-> US, port -> customs, customs -> truck -> distro center, there's a pretty long delay.

I wouldn't think almost anything gets from china to the US in under 2-3 weeks, unless the rare instances where they send it by air.
