China Post has been shipping stuff and spraying it with disinfectant. I don't see why that would be a problem. Also doesn't it take more than 9 days to sail across the atlantic ocean?

A lot of goods travel by air from China. See all Apple products (this is a guess, could be wrong)

You can sail across the Atlantic in 4-5 days on an ocean liner

  Containers seem to take >=7 days from Germany's closest international port to Newark, NJ (practically NYC), last time I looked at routes and prices.

    Oh, that's probably true. They're optimized for throughput rather than speed. Ocean liners that carry passengers take 4-5

      Actually, to a large extend it's fuel prices that cause these "low" speeds. Many cargo ships can be a lot faster if they have a reason that's worth the massive increase in fuel usage.

        That also makes a ton of sense.
