#4 a lot of food products require multiple flavoring ingredients to produce and some of them get to the manufacturer via Suez Canal but this hurts Europe much more than the US

more importantly, a lot of China's industry has been closed at various times in the past 12 months, similarly various plants in other countries have been closed or hours of production shortened because of workers being sick or other reasons
