When lead times get pushed, quality begins to plummet, you have a business to run and you and your business need options. While sourcing globally may seem daunting, you have a partner that can help.  Having a company that has people ***on the ground, at the factory level*** to visit, vet, inspect, and audit your projects and orders is key.  Remember, what started overseas has basically ended overseas (the virus) and having options in place now...before it's too late...could be a game-changer.
