Hopefully it comes a day where Apple SoC CPU is faster than the most advance Intel CPU and Apple SoC GPU is better than the latest Radeon/NVidia GPU.

I actually love the streamline icon look across the all OSes. There are a few points from the announcement that I love to try right now such Finder, iWorks, Email, Safari and Map. Also the widgets on sidebar, are they based on Apple new format for all Apps development to include widget? That would be interesting if that was the case. I sense the direction where MacOS will go fully 'smart' - simple in appearance but the full control bars appear when needed. The translucent effect (they are not actually 'aero' transparency), the rounded designs, are all point towards futuristic style where speedy system and task oriented are prioritized rather than gimmicky design.

If you see Tim carrying a bunch of eggs advise him to divide them in several baskets. 

That will work if the basket are all equal quality.

Why there is a need to tell media that you have Coronavirus? Isn't telling your doctor is what a sane person need to do?

This isn’t looking good.  China has done a good job containing the virus (despite criticism) but it’s spread globally seems inevitable.  

I’m particularly concerned about reports of patients having been cleared (after being infected) then having the virus being detected again later (and sick).  What’s happening?  Is the virus living on surfaces longer than expected and the persons coming in contact with it again?  That doesn’t seem likely.  Does the virus have the ability to go dormant in the body then have a resurgence?  This would mean 2 weeks of isolation isn’t good enough.  Also, all those temperature reading to determine if someone is infected doesn’t mean squat.

The flu has killed 14,000 people in the US this year, and sickened over 25 million.  That's only in the US.  Worldwide, the flu has killed nearly 1 million people this year. 

In comparison, this has killed 2,462 people on the entire planets, no one in the US.    There is no indication that healthy people with a normal immune system are at risk of death. 

A few things to consider (which I am sure you haven't forgotten):
1. The infection rate of this new virus seems to be problematic compare to general flu: it's easily transmittable with a longer days of asymptomatic than flu. You might feel well for up to a a week, but you aren't sure if you were a carrier for several days and how many people you have been in contact with, or office workers you interacted with or any door knobs that you touched. Not to sound like a scare-monger, but at the moment, that's the fact on how this virus is so readily spread.
2. Once you get infected, you will most likely develop respiratory diseases. At this point it's all up to your body immune system - nothing in this world can help you. You will generally get flu-like maladies including high fever and bad cough. Less resistance body will have to develop deadly pneumonia. A few hundred of these are fine, but if hospital have to start providing oxygen support to thousands, there will be huge infrastructure and labor problem. 
3. The number of mortality numbers does not count how new is this virus - it has not yet spread to the whole world population like flu and hasn't been around for long. It's only 3 months and with the death toll of around 2500, it puts a scary perspective if you think that the world population is 8 billion. A 2% of 8 billion, we are looking for a death toll of 160 million people.
