It’s coronavirus season everywhere right now except for the place where it all started. The latest stats show 116,000 COVID-19 cases worldwide, and more than 4,000 fatalities, after more than two months since the first case. China is reporting fewer and fewer COVID-19 cases each day, while several hot zones add hundreds to thousands of new cases each day.
While things aren’t as bad everywhere as they are in Italy — a country that’s now in lockdown because of the virus — plenty of countries are bracing for local epidemics and trying to contain it as much as they can. Authorities in some regions have already banned events and huge gatherings of people and paused sporting events. The biggest mobile event of the year was canceled a few weeks ago, even before the Italy outbreak started, and Japan might end up canceling the Summer Olympics in Tokyo soon. That brings us to Apple’s main event of the first half of the year, the WWDC 2020 conference, which is as good as canceled. That doesn’t mean, however, that iOS 14 and the next versions of macOS, tvOS, and watchOS won’t be unveiled this summer.
