Are you sure it is because of Corona virus? I have 789 products in the draft folder, I don't blame Corona virus even in one of them.

I've seen a couple of sites saying "The Chinese New Year holiday period has been extended" as a cover up for any possible virus related shipping delays. Only someone who has been totally cut off from the news over the last two weeks would possibly believe that. lol

Not many, not hundred or even thousand, I have problem when come to shipping since the outbreak began. It took long time so I decide to cancel the order. But not all. Is it just me?
No, it is not only you. I would rather stop taking sales now and wait for things to get better than be lambasted on social media by angry customers who don't receive their stuff. I also just don't want to disappoint clients that I hope will stick with me for a long time.
The people on the other side of the chain are fighting for their lives, if not against this virus, then against the government that is locking them into their homes and dodgy looking 'quarantine centres'. Somehow I don't think getting my shipments to me within 6 weeks is high on their priority list. That is not alarmist, it is reality.

When people hear something happening in a country, they think it is the whole country. The fact is that is happening in a very small part, the rest of the country is normal. You think Wuhan province is the whole of China?

I lived in Hong Kong for 15 years. I am very familiar with the size of China. In case you don't know, Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province not the name of the province itself. The virus is currently affecting provinces across the entire country although the worst hit is indeed Hubei.
For those who choose to continue selling - great. Just because I don't doesn't mean I am an idiot, Mar and I don't appreciate your tone. My store is small and a total sideline. I won't be losing much by taking this time to work on the site itself rather than make sales.

Not long till it's all a distant memory. Just like SARS is.
Same with me.
Fair enough.

I definitely know how huge China is. In fact Wuhan is just a dot in the map. I don't believe it affect the whole country.
It is your store and nobody is telling you what to do. It is you who speak the word idiot, not me. If you don't appreciate my tone because I don't agree with your view, you should not be in the forum.

John Hopkins CSSE has a better map of the current situation in China. Here is the link if you would like to stay informed:
https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
It is updated daily - unlike Google Earth.
I don't care that you don't agree with me. I simply found your assumption that I am not familiar with the size of China rude and your phrasing offensive.
I also don't believe I have done anything to merit you saying I should not be in the forum. I have an opinion and I appreciate polite discussion. I have also paid my way and have a right to be here as much as anyone else.

The Google map I attached is to show Wuhan, not the Corona Virus and looking at your map confirmed that the virus don't affect the whole country.
You don't have to agree with me and I will not say you are rude just because you don't agree. I never said or assume that that you are not familiar with the size of China. I don't think I am rude, in fact it was you who tried to put the word idiot in my mouth.
Having paid don't mean you can say people are rude just because they don't agree with your views. You must understand that the forum is not only to help other members, it is also to exchange views and ideas. If you think other members are rude just because they don't agree with you, you really should not be in the forum, I am serious.

It looks like Chinese don't like visiting India.

That's not a question anyone can accurately answer. Unless they have a crystal ball. Just keep your eye on the news.

I received an order yesterday, ordered in AliExpress the same day, shipped immediately today. That is a proof that rumors and opinions that businesses have stopped due to Corona virus is not true. Opinions are thoughts of people that is not necessarily correct. (date of the screenshot is one day earlier due to difference in time zones)
