Watch the embedded video. A truck driver took illicit footage, showing how empty the docks are.

This is important, because, those Shippping Containers (which she calls "Cans") are where all of our Chinese made consumer goods come from. No Containers, Nothing on the Shelves at Target, Walmart, Ect.

Now, where this gets bad, the average container ship from China takes 33-38 days to sail from a port in China to the US West Coast.  So, even if China were able to restart full production tomorrow (they can't), it would still take over a month for the cargo to arrive here at the West Coast. It then takes another 7-14 days to Clear Customs, Unload the Ship, Breakdown the Container into pallets, and then load the pallets on to trucks and ship them to the Distribution Centers. Only then, can the trucks take the goods to the stores.
Shipping time by truck from the Port of L.A., 1581 miles direct to Texas is 3 Days, legally. 2.3 days if you break the DOT Hours of Service regulations.
So, Best Case is that we are 6-8 Weeks from re-supply, AFTER China starts shipping goods.
