Once supply becomes normal again yes, but nobody knows how long that will take.

Because of the health situation in China and the recent new year they had, factories have less output of product.

Because there is less output of products, but still the same amount of people looking for the product (people who want to buy it), you have what is called 'supply and demand', because there is now less supply. Less supply than demand, means the stores can ask more money for products, making a PC more expensive.

 

Basically: output of products is less, supply and demand happens with less supply, higher prices.

Likely, but I can't see in the future so I'm not sure.

Prices are very likely to go up soon for many computer parts. The prices will go back down again but no one knows when that will be.

No one knows when.  The problem is the virus may be peaking, if not yet easing down in China a bit but is now growing other places, such as Japan, Korea, Italy, and possibly the USA.  A jab for it seems to be still at least a year out, and it will probably have mutated by then.  That’s the problem with corona.  It’s in the cold virus family.  It seems to be an extremely slow long lasting cold that is as or more dangerous than some flus.  as It is unknown if it will get out and become a pandemic.  Everything is up in the air.

Unintentional.  It’s an old fashioned idiom meaning “no one knows”

Yes I see what you did there.  Well if you’re near someone that coughs anyway.  It’s apparently not airborne so much as in spittle droplets that can remain in the air for a surprisingly long time.  It’s not true airborne like a few diseases such as Pneumatic plauge.
