- Qualcomm Inc raised concerns around the threat to the mobile phone industry’s supply chain from the coronavirus outbreak in China, dragging down shares. On a conference call with investors, Chief Financial Officer Akash Palkhiwala said Qualcomm expects “significant uncertainty around the impact from the coronavirus on handset demand and supply chain.”The San Diego-based chip supplier forecast second-quarter revenue largely above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, in the latest sign that a protracted slowdown in the global chip industry is easing.

That's why media is playing down this threat which would be disasterous.

Yes of course. Viruses are dangerous whether it's Corona or trojan!

I read that as chips as in snacks and wondered what phones have to do with them.

Who cares? Should be pretty far down the list of priorities.

The virus loves phones because they are third hands that never get washed...

Entire world human life is in danger, forget business if survived,business can be done..later.
