I read an article saying that major ports were implementing a 14 day
quarantine on arriving ships. Not that they're stuck forever, but
queuing up for 2 weeks.
I haven't read that specifically about the US West Coast, but it's
probably true there. If they're NOT doing it they probably should be.
There was also several weeks of disruption to manufacturing in parts of
China. Apparently they're coming back online now. An article I read
claimed supply chain disruption could last into May, but the article
didn't discuss specific products affected.
It might be revealing to learn what was manufactured in the facilities
that were shut down in China, but I wouldn't know where to find such info.

Yesterday on the US Telecom conference call in which there was over
150 called in there was a mention of cargo ships lined up at ports on
the west coast that were not getting unloaded. Is this actually
happening? What does this mean for the next 3 months supply chain? I
could see situations where even if we can get radios, cpes, we won't
be able to do installs because of things like outdoor CAT5e cable and
RJ45 crimp connectors are scarce. What about Cambium PMP450 radios?
Those are made in Mexico right? What if the virus hits mexico bad
enough that they have to shut down factories? I'm worried about all this.
