So the UK is starting to cancel sporting events, even the football, it's only a matter of when before what is going on in Italy starts going on here, a lockdown is ineitable, UK has too many cases to control it at this point ... sigh, so long as they don't start cancelling concerts i'll be okay.

Stocks are falling but expected to rise provided the right stimulus package is introduced.
In all likelyhood if sporting events go then so will concerts, except possibly very small ones.

Well I would only suspect the big arena shows to get cancelled but other shows might have very poor attendance because of all the scaremongering. But the laxidaisical attitude of the government over here to this whole situation is baffling.
I've got a couple of concerts i have tickets for at the end of the month. I've been holding off making hotel reservations in case they get cancelled.
Some hotels allow you to cancel within 24 hours without penalty. Of course seeing New Kids On The Block might be worth the risk, regardless.
I think the US will be fine, compared to most places in the world the US is far more spread out and has more advanced medical services than that of other corona struck nations, so if an outbreak does occur in the US it should be relatively east to contain, especially considering that the government does actually have contingencies for an epidemic out break ... Ah, god bless the US government paranoia ... but anyway, the US is probably the best place you could be ... could be worse, you could be in the UK where they are essentially telling you to wash your hands and hope for the best!
I ain't worried about corona, I've had worse beers. Anyway, yeah I got a feeling this whole thing is gonna blow over in a month or so.

USA and possibly Canada (a lot less people than the US, considering how big our country is)
I think it has to do with places with dense population. Much easier to spread in big cities while easier to contain in small communities, At least in theory. Also how the city is planned. If a lot of people live on top of eachother, like skyscrapers, it will be easier to randomly spread the disease, like NY. If its a city thats more spread out in its planning, like, i think, LA, it might be easier to protect oneself.
6 cases now in NC. All in Wake County, which is the Raleigh area. All attended a BioGen conference in Boston in late February.
In other news, there are three cases of the Mumps at Appalachian State......this concerns me because I live right across the street, not because I'm afraid of getting the Mumps. I had them in first grade, and Munchkin was immunized as a baby. But so many people don't get immunized for whatever reason. I hope it's limited to those three kids.
Yes, most of Canada is uninhabited wilderness, too harsh to comfortably settle, great naturality though.
Sweden has just had its first death because of Corona. We're at about 400 cases now and 250 in Stockholm.
World Health Organization declares it a pandemic.
"This virus can be suppressed and controlled," WHO official says

If countries detect, test, treat, isolate, trace and mobilize their people in the response, those with a handful of novel coronavirus cases can prevent those cases becoming clusters, and those clusters becoming community transmission, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday after saying the outbreak can be characterized as a pandemic.

Might be worth going to that wonderful Swedish country, I might be doing the same.
