I was waiting for a report like this.  Movie theaters in China are still closed, and people are currently emergency buying groceries there.  China hasn't recovered from the virus yet.  That means Switches will be in short supply until things fully improve in China.

They would reopen but choose to not do so, btw I am not sure movie theaters will reopen in the West, seems opening movie theaters will be one of the last measures taken. Ofcourse the detals of recovered to a certain point would be interesting.

Incorrect.  The movie theaters opened and then they closed down again a week later.  Basically the perception in China in early March was that they had recovered and then they realized that a second wave of the virus was hitting them.

I am commenting on this because of the lack of direct information coming out of China.  Since direct information is limited I am going off the box office which has been closed in China since January.  It reopened for one week in March and then closed again.  They still have concerns about the virus in China.  Because of this, I believe it will be a while before factories like Foxconn are up to full capacity.  Don't expect Switches to be back to full production any time soon.  China is still recovering from the virus.
