WWDC in jeopardy as Santa Clara issues new coronavirus guidance for tech giants
Obviously, this is a serious situation with no vaccine and undermined treatment. But put this in perspective everyone...WWDC is 12 weeks from now, in June. COVID-19 infections will either have decreased dramatically as the weather warms or we could be in deep trouble.
In the United States, there have been more than 225 confirmed cases with 14 deaths. 11 of those 14 deaths were in Washington. 8 of the 11 deaths in Washington have been linked to a nursing home, Life Care Center, in Kirkland, Washington. A majority of deaths in the United States have been immunocompromised individuals. These are the facts, draw your own conclusions.
Last flu season - 35 million cases, 34 thousand deaths in the United States. About 500 deaths children!
I bet most people just shrug when they hear these serious numbers.Because annual flu season is always (as Heath Ledger’s Joker reminded us) something we all expect, it has ceased to be of intense focus or concern for most people. But people create a different reality with the Corona virus. Where was all this raiding of grocery stores and gouging by eBay sellers for the flu? (Are you one of the fools buying boxes and boxes of worthless masks?)
It took about 5 to 6 weeks to for the number of new cases to level off in China, and they’ll recover and hopefully learn from their horrible mistakes. WWDC may not go on with a full audience, but we will come out fine. This is not the apocalypse. -
Apple TV+ Review: 'Amazing Stories' gets off to a middling start
I agree, starts slow but escalates in the second half. I was pretty happy with the story structure. The time traveling picks off where the movie Somewhere in Time didn't go.The reviews in the 1980s are similar to this review. While this reviewer says this story “is not exactly dazzling,” the 1980s reviewers complained the stories “are not that amazing.” So, the title of the show is once again going to work against them, no matter how good the episodes are.
It’s not true that review embargo’s necessarily signify a bad sign! The Walking Dead and many shows have embargos.
Okay, so no big names are not being attached to the episodes. I’m not going to be snotty. Plenty of first rate television programs with actors and directors not from the movie industry. -
