Amazon says there is uncertainty about the impact of the new variant virus on peak season sales

On November 28th local time , a senior Amazon executive said that it is still unclear what impact the currently discovered new coronavirus variant will have on consumer spending, but shoppers are advised to consume normally.

Amazon's global consumer CEO said he is very optimistic about the current scientists and pharmaceutical companies' ability to develop effective vaccines to deal with the new variant virus.

It is the peak shopping season and almost every household is preparing for Christmas, but the supply chain problem in the United States is still a very headache for merchants and customers. Previously, US President Biden said that the disruption of the US supply chain was caused by the epidemic .

Just recently, a new variant of the virus was discovered in South Africa, and cases of infection have been found in countries such as the United Kingdom, Belgium, Israel and Denmark, while the United States and other countries are imposing travel restrictions.

Although the government has implemented mandatory lockdown measures due to the epidemic, it can be seen that consumers are working hard to create a thoughtful holiday life. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, people have also been reconsidering how to arrange their work and life , and are also considering changing jobs.

He also said that despite the current inflation in the United States, it has not dragged down consumer spending, and Americans still spend a lot on clothing and home decoration , which also shows that people have plans to carry out offline activities .

After the previous epidemic caused people to purchase home remote work equipment, spending on electronic products began to decline.

However, the editor still wants to remind sellers to pay more attention to the infection situation of the new coronavirus variant in the near future. Many countries around the world have found infected patients and have implemented certain measures.

Some countries have even issued flight bans in response to infections caused by mutant strains, which may have a certain impact on logistics. Please pay attention to the reasonable planning of logistics transportation arrangements.
