121000 Cases and 4500 deaths...... Yeah sure, its all a ruse..... I'm not sure how it can be at all construed as a trick but sure, its a ruse.

Again, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, or at least what I tried to convey through text as I said with the other virus that was supposed to kill us. Yes, there will be casualties as with anything. But you conveniently leave out the 67k that survived the outbreak. But to the point where its world hysteria is wild. Everything should be shutdown if its as bad as its portrayed. They're still allowing folks to take trips, and go on vacations. The ruse is having everyone go completely nuts when the big wigs have everything under control.

Wouldn't be ironic if he caught it lol

That would be something. If I were unfortunate enough to catch the virus, I'll just hope I'm one of the 67K survivors who stayed home and out the way.

The most I do is wait for E3 to be over, and then click through the streams to see all the game announcements. Fuck watching the whole show, I couldn't care less. It has also been going downhill with less new stuff being shown and more things like game updates and freaking mobile games

stopped doing even that, everything that gets presented isn't even a real representation of the final product and all the focus is into pupping coal in the hype train

Believe that if you like. This looks just like another ruse just as the Ebola, zika and SARs. After a couple months it will be forgotten just like the rest of the epidemics. It looks worse now since we're in the day of social media and things blowing up quickly. But to each their own. 

Wow, all these conspiracy theorists on the internet are actually real. I thought they were a ruse. But you really exist.

It's nice to see what's announced so I can decide for myself what to follow. The last games I got excited about were Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, and Persona 5. Only Persona 5 was a bit of a letdown. Although I'm still keen to see more of Ghost of Tsushima, but Sony hasn't been present anyways.

Yep. 

 

It was fear mongering at first (without enough action). Now more stuff needs to be done. 

 

Hypothetically if the US government pushed for 2 weeks of "work from home" and "no travel to Asia" by mid February and then shifted to "no travel to Europe" for ~2 weeks right now, we'd be fairly solid. 

 

At this point I kind of wish in got it just to have it over with (ideally after I'm caught up on sleep again). I'm in a low risk group and want to not worry about infecting others in the next few months. 

literally happened yesterday.

The real question was never if it would get cancelled, it's whether or not it'll ever come back.

I want to call you misinformed, but really, I cant - lowkey i'm in agreement with you. MAYBE this is not that big a deal. There are however, live cases of people contracting, spreading, and even dying because of the outbreak. They have even managed to engineer AI bots that track the deaths and survivors of the coronavirus pandemic. They are at almost 70K detection now. That sucks, honestly! The reason that they're still letting people travel, is because trade and travel is the lifeline of most economies (and also because most governments are idiots to let such a gross  oversight take place).

Another one bites the dust. As an Engineer, AI was going to be my big draw during E3. But now, Coronavirus (Covid-19) has claimed another tech conference by its teeth. This is one in a line of many meets cancelled due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. RSA conference, not even a week ago, chimed in 2 casualties. SXSW is cancelled. E3 - cancelled! A Webinar can benefit a lot, given the circumstances at hand - it would benefit my crew of about 25, who engineer AI, to attend, while being safe from the coronavirus pandemic. Will definitely miss the cringe compilations this time ;)

Just remember our rules. No personal attacks of any kind, no matter how much your opinions differ from others. No political rhetoric, no conspiracy theories. If you want to talk about COVID-19, there's thread for it:

They also cancelled SXSW

As a native Austinite, I'm OK with this. I'm glad it was cancelled by the people in charge of planning it and not solely by pressure from an online poll; Online polls shouldn't be legitimized for important things in my opinion.

HAHAHHA! I wholeheartedly agree! E3 was going to be a lull this year (like the previous years). Apart from FF7, there was little incentive to watch anyways.
