Any reports on Malaysia, Philippines and Korea?
(I've been disconnected from mainstream media networks for several years. Don't believe anything the report.) I did dig into the lab supposedly source of virus and it was cited in 2015 for HVAC equipment not up to required standard. I have pdf report will put here if any interest. Of course the lab could just be a convenient scapegoat ... don't know.

It never ceases to amaze how smart technical people can eschew real journalism and can get caught up in batshit crazy conspiracy theories.
Yes -- one N. Korean official returning from Wuhan went to a community pool, when the head guy found out he had the offender shot.

Getting back to the supply chain -- article in this morning's NYTimes indicates that US vehicle production could be severely hampered.
Most popular New Year's foreign destination for Hubei folks is Bangkok. NYTimes is updating the map on a routine basis:

Four of my China Post orders landed in US today.
Seems like things have peaked and worst is over.

Might want to put the package aside for a week or so before you open it. They say the virus might be able to survive outside of the body for up to 9 days, conditions being right for it.
I'm thinking about how to handle it.
Recently took the CERT course and learned hep B-C, hiv and some other viruses etc can live in vitro for several days under right conditions.
All ambulance/first responders know this.

I've heard some concern about the lack of reported cases from India and Africa despite huge toing and froing of people between those two and China.
Apple dropped a thud on the market this morning outlining the impact upon their supply chain.
JPMorgan has a number of epidemiologists who issue reports each morning. No change in the forecast for 128,000 infections by early March with 2% mortality rate. Pessimistic forecast is for 174,00 infections by late March. These forecasts jumped 34% since the last reporting period.
Of course, Cambodge may have created a new vector with the release of 400 passengers from the cruise ship Westerdam:

I received some PCB's from JBCPCB yesterday. They were stalled in the production cycle for several weeks having been submitted in the beginning of January. I'm not sure they have been touched by human hands. Even with free labor that would be too costly given the delivered price. Still I may rinse in isopropyl before handling.
Mine have just shipped from PCBway but they changed all mask colours to Green to allow production to continue with a reduced workforce.
I have seen advisories at work about component availability shortages from China already, particularly MLC capacitors. With MLCCs already on allocation, this may ripple through world wide production within the coming months if the situation continues long.
You are at the tail end of the supply chain. The problem is at the front end of the supply chain.
It will probably take another two weeks to a month to start to see the real impact.

PCBCart informs that they should be up and running in two weeks.
OTOH, New York Times reports this morning of an outbreak in the Chinese prison system, and a large outbreak in the large Iranian cities.
