Just got a notice from my parts supplier in Shenzhen.
All businesses in Shenzhen, China's manufacturing hub, are closed effective immediately for an indefinite period. That includes all shipping companies including FedEx. NOTHING is going in or out of the most important manufacturing hub in the world right now, and there is no timeframe on when it may reopen.
Supposedly, this is due to a Coronavirus outbreak. We all know that reason is crap. I suspect the invasion of Taiwan is about to begin. Can't think of any other event big enough to warrant this.
Just thought I would pass along the information in case anyone had any doubts.
Has maritime or air traffic slowed?
Yes.

Total shutdown.
Not gonna lie. They start locking shit down and masking again here in the states I may have to take up arms in and aggressive stance. I'm sick of this bullshit. Someone has to end this. Send a message.
