How Corona Virus (COVID-19) affecting the Tech Industries

Those were pictures from Wuhan China the place where the corona virus originated from Iran is a city with a population of over 1.1 caroule people and it's a major technological hub it's bet it's the hub of producing automobiles electronics optics and fiber in fact 230 of the fortune 500 companies have investments in the city the coronavirus has had a terrible effect on the city and since then it has failed across the world over 40,000 cases have dropped up the death toll has crossed 900 and his
rising fast but the virus has also had a huge impact on the tech industry it has affected everything from the supply chain in the manufacturing sector to events like MWC 2020 which is just around the corner on the other hand the Chinese tech industry has evolved really fast to deal with this epidemic I'll be talking about that later and the videos of donors look.

China is the world's biggest manufacturing hub and most companies depend on China for manufacture iPhones are made in China motorola has a factory in Wuhan and Tesla has one of his biggest factories in Shanghai so when China shut down most of mahon
and sent its factory workers home to curb the spread of the epidemic a lot works out for these companies Foxconn the company that manufactures iPhones reduced its growth forecast from manufacturer of iPhones has cut its sales forecast down to 1 to 3
percent and analysts are reporting that Apple might have to delay the launch of its iPhone se 2 or the iPhone 9 because of these issues sure the factories that make the iPhone are quite far away from Wuhan but Iran is a hub for manufacturing components that go into making up smartphones like the iPhone so companies like Apple are expected to be hit really hard due to this virus even Tesla has had to close down its path began it had to delay deliveries of its more than 3 car because of
this almost every tech company is facing supply and manufacturing issues because of the corona virus and that's a big problem.


However an even bigger problem is faced by the display industry because it doesn't only depend on China the world's largest LCD manufacturer boe technology has its biggest factory in Wuhan the company account for 17 percent of LCD production globally and it is being hit hard due to the corona bias in fact reports estimating that LCD panels will become more costly by one or
two dollars per panel because of the company's problems in China I know $2 might not sound like a lot but it will add up to the overall cost of devices like televisions and smartphones etc I mean if companies have to pay 2 dollars more for LCDs and they obviously still want to make a profit who do you think will end up paying that extra price the consumers obviously and that's not a good thing for anyone but even that's not all Sony which is one of the major companies for smartphone camera
sensors has its factories in China as well and the company has said that it is facing production delays just imagine a shortage of camera senses for smartphones these sensors are used by almost every single brand out there including

Apple who will and others the point is we should all be getting ready to see delayed launches or shortages of supply in the coming months I mean the ROG phone 2 is already running low on stock because of the corona virus and it doesn't seem to be getting any better but that's the supply chain and if you think that isn't a big deal wait till you hear this MWC which is the world's biggest smartphone event is also being affected because of coronavirus companies like LG Nvidia Ericsson Sony.

Amazon have pulled out of MWC 2020 because of coronavirus fears and I mean why not right it's a scary situation other companies like wow they are taking precautions and it has reportedly asked its executives to stay in a 14-day Gordon time before the event but the thing is major tech companies are canceling their mwz plans and that's a big problem we are also considering whether or
not we should attend MWC 2020 due to the health concerns army veteran MW organizers are also trying to make sure that people remain safe and the event GSMA the organization behind MWC is going to ask people not to shake hands with each other and it will also replace microphones for every speaker to make sure the virus doesn't spray GSMA has also said that areas like cafes
handrails and public touchscreens will be disinfected more frequently during the event and apparently.

There will also be a larger number of medical support staff at the event itself it has also banned people traveling from the Hebei Province in China from entering the event and people from China will have to prove that they have been out of the country for at least 14 days before the event to be allowed to enter they will also be temperature screening at the event and attendees will have to
certify that they have not been in contact with any infected person apart from all that there are a lot of other safeguards in place for MWC 2020 as well so let's hope things go well look all of that is scary but so far the worst-hit country is.



How Corona Virus (COVID-19) affecting the Tech Industries.
China and one interesting thing I saw when I was reading about the corona virus is how the Chinese companies have evolved during this crisis it's really interesting let me tell you since everyone in China is scared about being exposed to the virus food delivery companies have started delivering food in a different way they simply leave the food in a specified place and
the user can pick it up it's contactless and reduces the risk of corona virus spreading schools and gems are also suspended in China.

But classes have moved online to services like new co & Veatch app even gems have become virtual and are offering fitness classes online through apps like tip-top it's really very interesting right also I mean even though there is a virus people still want to get entertained and obviously they can't go to watch movies so movie releases are skipping theaters completely and coming straight to streaming services like bite dances platforms 10 cent video and Baidu's platform even real estate companies I use intake like VR and live streaming to let users buy houses without having to visit the house I like this idea by the way and it might be one of the best applications of VR to be honest what's more in China people can get doctor's appointments done online to apps like WeChat are allowing users to let a doctor check them for coronavirus symptoms without going outside their home that's not all though Chinese companies are also trying to help the country control the virus.

Alibaba is going to provide free access to all it's AI capabilities for development of drugs and vaccines for the virus Chinese telecom operators and Huawei are giving 5g equipment and services to the new hospital that China has built in behind Xiaomi is making and distributing masks and testing kits and didi the cab company is providing free taxi services to medical stuff so
yeah even though coronavirus is scary and it's spreading really fast it's very interesting to see how

Chinese companies are moving quickly to help people and evolve during this huge thing the Chinese manufacturing sector is basically stopped right  now but other sectors like food delivery movies pools etc are going on over the Internet it's very interesting to see how  Chinese companies are evolving to fit their business model into this more dangerous time look this is a scary situation and as
far as the tech industry is concerned coronavirus built or some delays in product launches and prices might go up because the production will not be enough to meet it much it's a terrible situation and I hope it resolves quickly and things go back normal soon on that note I'll be signing off in the meanwhile stay safe out there.
