Ordered a couple of bits from two different AliExpress sellers on the 28th of January, one dispatched pretty quickly and arrived on the 18th of February.  Notification that the other has been dispatched received two days ago.  Seems like some stuff is moving but it's very hit and miss.

Personally speaking, as long as it's not a return of bubonic plague (death toll 70-200 million) or Spanish flu (death toll 40-50 million) then I'm not too concerned.  The "regular" flu virus kills 300,000-500,000 people a year (source), current global death toll appears to be around 2,800 out of 82,000 reported cases (source), a mortality rate of 3.4%, this obviously does not take into account unreported cases of those people who felt a bit unwell for a couple of weeks, didn't bother seeing a doctor and recovered without an issue, resulting in figures giving more weight to the death toll.

Context is a wonderful thing but doesn't sell newspapers.  Either that or I've just become overly cynical following year after year after year of the latest "panic".

Alas this Corona crap is gonna mess a lot of stuff up
