Rick, thanks for the caster link

I just ordered a set to try out, I'm always putting casters/wheels on SOMETHING. If they hold up, $30 a set beats $85 a set for sure... Steve

Harbor Freight and the Wuhan Flu....
Wonder how it will impact HF's supply lines? I jeep reading about the drastic decline in overseas container shipping from China. Maersk reported a 75% drop in container traffic over the last 2 weeks, same with the other carriers.
In as much as HF's stuff mostly comes from China, I wonder if the shelves will start getting bare. No product coming in equals no product to sell. I also read that the I-Phone production has basically ceased as well.
Of course then, no one knows how the 'bug' is transmitted or the life of it so those tools and goods coming in may well be carriers of the Wuhan Flu...... Scary stuff.
Of course what you read and the way it is, is usually 2 different things. Hard to believe news sources today as it's all laced with propaganda anyway.
I do know the Maersk stats are accurate so there must be a tangible impact and... Walmart just stated that some items may be in short supply in their retail stores as well.
Better suck up those HF import tools while you can get them as they may not be there in a month....

There is normally a huge slowdown for anything China related at Lunar New Year. We are just comming off lunar new year, which explains a large part of that 75% for last month. I think we are about to see those type of numbers continue though as a effects of the quarantine stuff & other panic issues continue.

I bet Schmid don't have a lot of 20% off sales in the near future either. Stuff is gonna be hard to come by and at a premium price. Wonder How Grizzly Industrial is faring? Most everything they sell comes in a container.

If anyone's interested - here's a first-person account of an ordinary family in Wuhan that can't leave their modern subdivision. (Photo). The HOA is contracting to bring in bulk deliveries of necessities.
A friend of mine is living in Wuhan, she told me about her situation

I dont think it's a matter of possibly having the virus shipped over in a container. They are still working out how its transmitted, but it seems to be mostly person to person rather than via surfaces. Transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2 19 (COVID-19) | CDC it's more an issue of quarantined workers cant make it to the factories to make the stuff to put in the containers.
