I don't think they will cancel it, but they can limit the visitor count, so it's not packed and media gets all the coverage.

Will have to see how things are going with covid-19 by June. Usually heat keeps virus transmission rates very low since they die off outside the body much faster when its hot. One of the main reasons the Flu season is in colder months.

Yea, that's what they all say, until they do cancel. Another one unrelated to tech: https://www.iata.org/en/events/wcs/ (World Cargo Symposium) I think I'll be out of a job soon if this keeps going on (I work in aviation/cargo, not directly on airplanes, but IT... Things are bad, everyone has losses left and right, some already going bankrupt https://nltimes.nl/2020/03/05/british-airline-flybe-declared-bankrupt-dozens-schiphol-flights-canceled)

All this crap...flu is more deadly. H1N1 was more deadly. Damn, each month ppl die from various reasons, like women die in labor, if I remember correctly is like 20k+ worldwide, each month. Sure. If u have diabetics, health, veins, lung problems and u r smoker, then u have big chance to die from it. 60y.o.+ chances growing up. Otherwise u have more chance to win euromillions than die from this virus.

Yeah sure keep lying to yourself, whatever makes you sleep better 39 people died of flu in Italy from October 2018 - January 31 2019 (source) 41 people died of Coronavirus in Italy in one day (Thursday, March 5, 2020) (source)

39 people died directly for flue, but other ~8000 died due complication of flue. Source: ISS, which is the official source of the Italian healtcare for this kinda data: https://www.epicentro.iss.it/influenza/sorveglianza-mortalita-influenza Sorry, didn't any manually translated version of the article. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=it&tl=en&u=https://www.epicentro.iss.it/influenza/sorveglianza-mortalita-influenza Almost (all?) deaths of COVID-19 in Italy were very old people or people with serius healt issues.

The World Helath Organisation says the Covid death rate is 3%, that is 15-20 times that of regular flu. New viruses that jump from animals are very dangerous compared to flu as no one is immune and there is no vaccine. Complacency like yours is worse than over reaction. Governments are scrambling to contain it because if it went world wide millions would be dead. Try some research.

stop being fake news The death rate soars to 14.8% in those 80 and older; among those ages 70 to 79, the COVID-19 death rate in China seems to be about 8%; it’s 3.6% for those ages 60 to 69; 1.3% for 50 to 59; 0.4% for the age group 40 to 49; and just 0.2% for people ages 10 to 39. No deaths in children under 9 have been reported. not down playing it but not fear mongering it either remember sars? that was gone fast but none the less some comparative data from w.h.o https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-01-26/Coronavirus-vs-SARS-How-similar-are-they-Data-tells-NzBCywlxmg/index.html

Yeah, its seems every election we have a new Killer Virus. I have a friend her son died from Sars(like five years ago)he was 18. But I do think it is a bunch of fear mongering people.
