Last I saw, China has had a total of some 82000 cases of covid-19. The USA has just surpassed 120,000 cases. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about ordering from China. There are more important measures to put/keep in place! Stay home, wash those hands, drink red wine and read that book!

Though I agree with your overall point, the Chinese government ALSO says nobody died at Tiananmen square.... I'm not sure we should put much faith in the 82k number.

Check out how much of our prescription medications are manufactured in China and you'll really be concerned. Much of what we have in our medicine cabinets is made in Chinese factories.

Until the world begins to shift away from so much product dependency and cost savings from a closed, dictatorial, dishonest country we're all in danger. China can wage war against the world by simply slowing down or stopping the production of all that they make.

Just one man's opinion.
