I just got an update for a piece of gear I purchased and I'm hoping to test.

I thought it was more informative than what we are seeing on the evening news:

"Current situation for the rest shipment

Dear all,

All of the rest orders will be ship out at once instead of...

... sending in batches.

But regarding when we can ship out the rest, we are still not so sure at this moment.

Hopefully we could have some progress and a rough idea next week.

As some of you guys may know that due to the outbreak of corona virus almost all the companies...

... are forbidden to return to work before Feb.10th, otherwise the company will be punished.

Different area has different policy, especially Hubei Province (containing Wuhan city) which is much longer.

It sounds that all companies could be allowed to start working on...

... Feb 10.

But as a matter of fact, on one hand, all the assembly manufacturers which normally own too many employees are still strictly controlled by their local government and are impossible to start working immediately, because it’s too dangerous for a large crowd of...

... people working together. on the other hand, some employees who come back from their hometown in other places will be forced to isolated themselves for about 7 days before going out anywhere.

Our cooperative assembly manufacturer plan to start working on Feb.17th, but it's...

...just a plan at the moment, Some employees, especially those in Wuhan and Hubei are still stuck in their local cities/towns due to the local control, and are not easy to go back factory on time. So we have to wait until next week (after Feb.17th) to see what is the real new...

... situation.

But on the contrary, it would not be so bad that we could have more time to perfect the software part, and send all the units without software problems which have confused those early receivers to your hands in next batch.

BTW, our key engineers have already...

...came back for work (after finishing a series of procedures required by local administrations), and are busy working on the software all day long which had been interrupted by Chinese new year and the virus control.

Again, for those who received the first batch of [Xxxxx],...

...you are welcome to feed back problems you met with, and sometimes we may need you to send your issue videos or photos to debug@[redacted].com.

Actually we already know most of the issues you feed back, and we will fix and perfect them step by step. Just keep your firmware...

... up to date.

For those who haven’t received, please be a little patient, we won’t forget you.

Sincerely appreciate your understanding and support, and your kind concern about the virus situation we are facing with.

We will try our best to speed up. "

.@threadreaderapp Is this Chinese mfg update WRT novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV unroll worthy?
