Munich 2020 cancelled

"The Flu is likely in more than 200 countries every year and this year alone accounts for 18K deaths in the US alone. P-E-R-S-P-E-C-T-I-V-E.

Thank you Wisnon. That just show us how dangerous Coronavirus is if it spreads like normal flu since mortality rate is at least X20 in average. We have to contain it or we'll suffer greatly. We can just look at people we lose to common flu every year.

 

[wisnon]

It is NOT that high, based on no Wuhan latest figuures I have seen.

Furthermore, infection rates looks like a tripling by month, ie Feb to June...30K goes to 3m (by contrast 32m infected in the US this season alone with normal flu). Then Summer hits...end of the line for the virus till next winter. Symptoms for 80% of the infected are mild to no existent....better than this years flu, i can tell you.

The real danger is that normal people get infected and can pass on to the immune compromised and consequences for them could be serious. Hence another reason for sensible precautions.

so yes, of course we should contain it with best efforts, but we should not destroy the world economy to do so.

Vendors and attendees who planned on Axpona 2020 would be smart to cancel.....all it takes is one contact.........not worth the risk

Makes TOTAL sense.

Although it's not as easy of a decision as an exhibitor if you have $10K-$20K already invested as an to cancel and lose all that is already invested. There are no refunds if Axpona doesn't cancel/postpone the show. Travel plans are already made, shipping preparations are already in process....ugh

If by chance, which I believe is minuscule at this point, the show does go on and it is attended by many, then it would have been questionable to have given up $20K of already invested $$$.

Everyone has their own equation, some are more complex than others.

No the stock markets are reacting to the media mega hype that's all.

600,000 flu deaths per year globally. No one bats an eyelid by comparison. Reason? Boring story.

The Markets are responding to more than the media hype. Markets are responding mostly to supply chain issues out of China and the far east, and particularly Wuhan, China. The markets can see the empty cargo ships leaving from the west coast of the US to China and the far east, but are seeing far fewer cargo ships returning. Most of the antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals used in the US are manufactured in China, and most of the computer chips are also manufactured in the far east. There will definitely be parts supply shortages to car manufacturers in the US, as well as Boeing and other large manufacturers.

Most of the Pharma products used in the US are NOT manufactured in China.

I agree.

Tesla has already been fitting slower chips into its cars.

Yup Steve analogsa has it right.

Even though some of you do not agree or like his channel, this is why shows are and should be cancelled:
