Yes, you read that right; a conference about the coronavirus response has been cancelled… due to the coronavirus!

In addition to esports, gaming and blockchain events and conferences being cancelled due to the coronavirus crisis, even coronavirus conferences are being cancelled.

According to the Daily Mail, a roundtable called “Doing Business Under Coronavirus”, scheduled for New York on Friday, has been cancelled after an explosion of confirmed infections in New York.

Indeed, America’s first “Containment Zone” has been established in the suburb of New Rochelle, just a few miles from Manhattan, with National Guard troops helping to manage a one-mile wide containment area.

Apparently, the Council on Foreign Relations had planned the events to help businesses mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 virus crisis. Other similar events in Washington and elsewhere across the United States have also been cancelled due to the rapidly deteriorating situation.

AYO.NEWS says:

Just an hour ago we reported Riot Games had postponed the League of Legends 2020 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) due to the rapidly worsening COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. Despite the situation in New York however, Esports Insider says ESI New York is still expected to go ahead on 27-28 April.
