Topic: Corona Virus Panic/Discussion Thread

@JohnnyShoulder Woo hoo - I win post of the week. I just need to read the rest of the messages in this thread now.

@JohnnyShoulder @Arugula Oh great - there goes my post of the week. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. In this case JohnnyShoulder.

As for the pandemic, don't worry @themcnoisy, southerners do the most travel. The Wirral will be infected soon enough. Just wait your turn.

@DonJorginho sorry Don. I meant Brighton and erm Hove Albion.

@Rudy_Manchego Southerners are super spreaders.

Literally girls down there are so easy.

@themcnoisy As a southerner living up north, is you dissing my momma?

@Rudy_Manchego No, but why are you dissing your dadda. Shut up and behave.

@themcnoisy Now I know you is fronting.

I have actually no idea of what I am saying but it sounds like someone who is cool would say in a dis match.

Anyway, coldmageddon is getting worse at my work. Everyone is sneezing. Only a matter of time before I am quarantined with a games console.

This is the thread that keeps on giving

There is even talk of the European football tournament being postponed if things don't improve. I think the I.O.C have until May to decide if the Olympics still goes ahead.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah I've read about a few matches happening with absolutely no audience in attendance. I think GDC will get canceled today as over half of the attendees have pulled out. May is the cutoff date for IOC yes, honestly if things don't get drastically better (which I doubt) I'd actually be surprised if they don't cancel them. There have been a couple people with symptoms in my area but all have come back negative thankfully.

Still think this is impacting PS5 plans.

@kyleforrester87 I'll get my mask on and head to China to carry on production if you are game.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah go for it, nice knowing you!!

We're going to be stocking up on emergency supplies these next few weeks. Realistically, it's probably a good idea to maintain those supplies regardless of whether there's anything to worry about or not.

GDC is now officially canceled for the time being

@redd214 Impressive. Sony managed to cancel the whole event to cover the fact that they're afraid to reveal the PS5.

@Octane I hope you are joking!

@JohnnyShoulder Haven't you noticed? The fact that they revealed the PS4 in February is definite proof that the exact same thing should have happened this year.

@KratosMD I do think we should take it very seriously, but it's a good reminder that it's mostly the elderly and very young who are in danger. Most of us experience nothing more than a common cold, and that's it. I'm all for taking the best possible precautions, but we also have to be realistic, this won't turn into a zombie apocalypse.

But seeing how it has pretty much spread everywhere, I don't think there's much we can do about it anymore.

That’s the problem with physical, it runs out. Digital ftw.
