If this gets worse, I think Apple will do the same for its own events or at least limit attendance at WWDC to only those in North America. I think in the case of the new iPhone a broadcast event from Apple Park with Apple employees and select few journalists and YouTubers should be enough.
Just out of curiosity why do any keynotes these days require a live audience, it’s not like some one attending is receiving an award to be presented. It’s 2020, it fact it should have transitioned sooner just live stream these things and save the carbon causing by travel, hotels, vehicles, merchandise (promo), paper, etc etc. The 2019 MBP 16” was a silent online release. Just make the keynote live stream only, I understand the need for WWDC to be attended due to networking and other training sessions etc, but these other keynotes have it live only and have the demo products available to key Apple Store locations, that way people can go see the products for themselves rather than read, listen or watch some tech bloggers or media rep opinion on it because you know they opinion matters (roll-eyes emoji). It’s like watching a review for a movie to decide if you are going to like it, just watch it if the narrative appeals to you, most of it is via online streaming anyhow.
Advertise it as being environmentally friendly and carbon reducing. It would be cool to go see the product at an Apple Store after the keynote announcement and then placed an order right away and await a delivery date.
2020 and we still working this like it’s two decades plus process, sheesh.

I wonder how much longer they can keep the financial markets propped up before the crash of all crashes.
You make it sound like this is the first virus to infect mankind, yeah SARS never happened in China either. Get over yourself, neither did swine flu in Central America, or whatever play the chicken little syndrome and sell me your Apple stock at half price

Why do I feel like the Coronavirus is a lot worse than the government is putting on? I've noticed in my doctors appointment this month, they asked have you and anyone you know traveled to Wuhan in the past 21 days?
incubation period for most respiratory viruses is 14-21 days, just precautions nothing more. Don’t read too much into the tea leaves.

So apparently not a 'Limitless' conference. It has limits.
COVID-19 is the Limitless serum
