Not to mention, it definitely doesn't take "at least 6 weeks" for things to get to the US from China. I used to work in shipping and the longest it might take is about 1/3 of that time. If the cargo is on a ship, and using a plane is a lot faster of course.

Bullshit. I worked at a Global manufacturing company and did supply chain work.

Plane shipments are out of the norm and ridiculously expensive. And yes often it takes six weeks from order time. In fact that is the usual. Time from placement of order to receipt of the goods at the plant or warehouse.

You are failing to account time to prepare shipment from the sourcer, travel time to the docks, shipment across the ocean, arrival at destination docks, customs clearance of shipment, inco term paperwork, and then eventual ship to final destination.

That six weeks will hopefully be enough time for any Wuhan flu germs to die before they reach American soil.
