Most often, spread from person-to-person happens among close contacts (about 6 feet). Person-to-person spread is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza and other respiratory pathogens spread. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It’s currently unclear if a person can get 2019-nCoV by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.

As an update from my Chinese supplier. She said many people will start work on February 10. This is because many people left Wuhan for the CHinese New Year before it got locked down, before Jan 27th, and February the 10th is 14 days (the incubation perios of CV). This should be when the known numbers of CV should spike.
She also said many Chinese who supply directly to the UK are losing their ebay accounts because they are taking too long to get deliveries out So every cloud has a a silver lining.

I have put my eBay account in vacation mode until this blows over. Since all my suppliers are located in China. To avoid losing account because of shipping delays.

It could really get pretty bad, but I cant imagine the Chinese government wont find some way of sorting something out for exports as it will start really affecting livlihoods over there.
But yes, lets hope they all lose their eBay accounts! |

Has anyone got any deliveries out yet? Or is it still all in lockdown. I know some workers went back yesterday. I guess there might be a backlog and delays when it all starts moving again?
