I bought Coachella music festival tickets starting on April 10th~... guessing I need to cancel the airplane tickets which are non refundable.... wait!
Overwhelming shock and grief. That's what The City of Austin is feeling.Well that stinks. Wait why do I care about this again?
Just regular people who are going to be affected by this one way or another.Lots of armchair virologists on MacRumors it seems.
Record your band in a controlled environment and post the video on YouTube. Slap the link on MR.

Just a result of media induced fear and weak leadership from a virus that's no more harmful than the flu.
Yeah, I’m sure none of the people attending SXSW or those they’ll interact with in Austin are over 60, have underlying medical conditions or have older relatives who are vulnerable.Over 55,000 people died from the flu and pneumonia in 2017 in the US. In 2020 Covid19 has killed 16. This could escalate to a crisis for the elderly, those with significant pre-existing conditions, and for healthcare systems but it hardly affects the demographic that attends SXSW. Everyone needs to calm down.

Austin has a state of emergency even though they have no cases.
The vast majority of Apple devs don’t attend WWDC so I don’t think virtual is a problem as long as they produce all the session videos, which are key.Gotta wonder how Apple will handle that. Because the show must go on, of a roadmap for future Apple software and including developers in the loop.
Maybe it will just be virtual? The collaboration aspect in real life cant be replicated, but they have to be wondering how they will proceed, without cancelling 10.16 and iOS 14
I’m guessing WWDC will be virtual this year. They can issue press releases for updated iPads and Macs.Gotta wonder how Apple will handle that. Because the show must go on, of a roadmap for future Apple software and including developers in the loop.

Regular flu vaccines are pretty cheap in the US. Unfortunately it will be at least a year before we have one for Covid-19 and we don’t know how it will mutate next year.There are though. I can’t speak for the US but countries with public healthcare that I live in (Canada, Australia) there are annual campaigns to get people to get free flu shots. The reason is a bad flu season can have a significant impact on the health system, which will consequently impact on the system’s ability to care for other patients.
Debate regarding the lethality of this COV-19 aside, it’s rate of spread and transmission is undeniably quick. You can already witness the chaos in countries where health systems are overwhelmed by the unpreparedness of this outbreak, even if it’s “just a flu”. I can appreciate why they would like to minimise it’s rapid spread.
But I agree, no need for over panic and we need to wash our hands 👍
And the demographic which attends SXSW has older parents, grandparents and other loved peoples around which they don't wanna infect with the virus. Just its not a problem for one group doesn't make it any better. We are all connected and I don't want to see my parents die from a virus which I brought home just because of a music festival. Not worth it right now.Over 55,000 people died from the flu and pneumonia in 2017 in the US. In 2020 Covid19 has killed 16.

Yeah, now that you mention it, it would be extremely shocking if the olympics wasn't canceled. Quite the shame.Man, sorry for sounding like a black cloud but I think this is only going to get worst. Maybe around Summer things will get better but the next 3 months this is going to be an huge issue. The Olympics might be the next casualty. Right now having large crowds of people together is a bad idea.

More people die of the flu.
So?More people die of the flu.
WWDC is gonna be next. Actually a good opportunity for Apple to demonstrate their streaming prowess by doing a remote conference.
I'm going to the BNP Paribas Open Tennis tournament next week (In Palm Springs CA area) and just got an email saying they are giving refunds for people who request them and also the list of precautions they are taking. This is one of the largest attended tennis tournaments in the world (typically only behind the 4 majors) drawing over 450,000 over the two weeks by people from all over the world. It is going to be interesting to see how much the attendance drops off.
