I must admit I'm kind of worried about ordering online at all these days, knowing most everything comes from China anyway. But not worried enough not to buy stuff. I just got some new ear pads for my headphones from Amazon that were shipped with DHL Express. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks if they give me coronavirus.
This happened in the middle of Chinese New Year vacation and the vacation has been extended as a result, most shops are closed and I guess it's up to the individual person whether they want to continue shipping out online orders while all this is going on knowing that staying inside is the safest.
A bit early to tell for sure what the mortality rate is like since there are still people sick with it in the hospitals that may or may not die.
And since when is dying slowly better than dying quicker?
48 hrs is what I heard. But since it's such a new virus, and they have only had time to do limited research, that doesn't fully appease my fears.

OP
ordered something for my father last week but it says on ebay the seller is on vacation. I ordered 1 phone in december and got it middle nuary. my uncle ordered mid jan a phone and got in within 8 days, still alive!!
My parents warned me against buying sushi, because it's from Asia. Yknow, good ol imported Asian sushi, not simple rice and fish slapped together in America with frozen American ingredients. 
I might feel a little wary about buying anything from China, at the moment, just because I have a tendency to worry over nothing, but I don't really plan to make any purchases that aren't groceries for now anyway so it's a moot point.

"Hundreds" or more specifically, 813 according to CNN. This compared to data from the CDC:
CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually

No point stopping buying anything.
The transit takes so long nothing could ever survive.

Nothing to do with coronavirus. I stopped buying it about a year ago or so. Anyway, I dont buy anything from made in china. I even removed dinner dishes and stuff that made in china. I love Chinese people but I hate made from china. There are few more made in china left around here. They are almost gone and no more!

After learning about the virus I have been seriously considering to cancel the lot of frozen pangolin stew I had ordered.
You said it ain't a superbug you obviously kno nothing about what is actually going on https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/china-cremating-bodies-secret-coronavirus-21396715 this was last week

Lol crazy guy -I think youl find some of yr consoles are made in China - can someone check if playstn or Switches are made in China - if so do the right thing and bin them lol
The mir....
Ugh, well at least it's not a link to The Sun...
No, that's not what I am saying. I already know about it. I am saying that removed things that are made in China have "nothing" to do with fear of caught coronavirus illness if you wonder. I removed Made in China because I just disliked things that are Made in China. I have seen the news already. That's sad.
Right. I am not saying about smartphone and consoles. I am talking about dinner dishes, glasses, and etc in my house.
I am aware of smartphones, consoles, tv and more that I cannot rid of because I need them. That's the problem.
I'm soz but you can't pick and choose just because one thing suits you and the other doesnt thts being known as a hypocrite lol you either keep all stuff from China or bin allNo, that's not what I am saying.

I often wonder whether the "no Chinese stuff" peeps would be able to distinguish between The People's Republic of China, The Republic of China, Macau and Hong Kong, or indeed just the first two.
I must admit I find it odd to rid yourself of things you already have, though it is probably the same line of thought that leads to people not watching things made by artists long before they were revealed as an arsehole or something, but I can probably go with to each their own for that one.
While "stand tall or don't stand at all" is a fine way to live life and approach ethical problems "don't buy unless absolutely necessary" is one that can also work, and could see it extended to game consoles as well.

7,770 confirmed cases with 170 deaths. And? I'm still waiting for you to make your point because so far I am not convinced.
Buying stuff directly from China? Can't remember doing anything like that in my past few years ever since I started a job.
Now, stuff that's made in China? Well, I'm kind of waiting for those manufacturing jobs to return to the States. Or, to put it another way, I'm waiting for the subject of this video to happen in that sector of the US economy and for electronics companies like Sony, Microsoft, Apple, etc. to start having all of their shit manufactured here as opposed to getting held up because of a virus that China could've avoided if they didn't eat so much weird shit over there.
Seriously, not even Gordon Ramsay is exempt from eating strange shit:
