I had a brain aneurysm thanks to this post thanksThe coronavirus does have a death rate 20-23x more fatal than the flu for the infected.
It's also significantly less dangerous than the flu.
... These are not mutually exclusive concepts.

At this point, just make a State of Play, Sony. Anything really.
This, I can actually understand and I think it's a good thing. But combined with all the delays and having nothing PS5-related revealed, it's about time to show something. Preferably PS5 games.

Check some of Twitter discussion from some of the Xbox...ummm...devotees. Truly amazing.So, let me get this straight.
WHO has declared a global health emergency regarding the coronavirus.
"Well, I heard that the flu is much more dangerous than it on the internet."
This is where we are at. Really.
Era por favor.
The WHO didn't even confirm there was a virus in Wuhan until a month after the first case. Probably not the best idea to listen to them, as they take 2-3 weeks to before they update their response. According to them its not even a pandemic, despite having cases in 10+ countries.
I am not trolling. I am upset at the level of hype this is getting. The culture of fear has paralyzed people and lead to horrible things. Companies contributing to the culture of fear I believe should be shamed.
This thread is amazing.I think it's OK to question if Sony is really thinking about its employees or using this issue and a excuse to not going to the event.
What? They're not using the virus as a scapegoat.I think it's OK to question if Sony is really thinking about its employees or using this issue and a excuse to not going to the event.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this.. this is a very bad take.
This post makes you look like an idiot.

I didn't say it was an excuse, I said it's OK to question if it was.
And I'm not accusing no one of creating nothing. You don't need to be so defensive.
And I'm not talking about it anymore because I don't wanna get banned or something over such thing.
After what happened with the datamining of FF7, I doubt that happens lolBetter safe than sorry I suppose. Release The Last of Us 2 demo on PSN Sony, I double dare ya !
This is now the worst thread of Era history. I'm honestly worried about some people in here. We're talking about a global health emergency and you guys are thinking about trailers and "reputation" of a freaking company. K.
Some of the responses in this thread...wow.
Video games are serious business and, apparently, more important than a potential public health concern. Stay mature, fellow gamers.
Devil's Advocate here, but what if they're realising that they won't be able to make enough PS5's due to the virus hitting factory production in China?
The worst thing would be to hype up PS5, only to reveal a delay to 2021.
ffs... get outta here with this shit.People in this thread are being real shitty to other people in this thread
Wonderful combination of making fun of people for caring too much about video games and calling people heartless for not trusting a large corporation
Not even remotely a fair comparison. The concern with coronavirus is increasing spread. Without precautions we would be seeing substantial exponential growth.Then their employees shouldn't go to work at all since the chances of them dieing in a car crash is magnitudes higher than them dieing to coronavirus.
I think events being cancelled in the US due to virus scares are over reactionary.
Oh, there's about a 1% chance of them doing it, but hey it's still a chance I guess.After what happened with the datamining of FF7, I doubt that happens lol
Wrong.There can be no scientific mortality rate yet because it's the middle of an outbreak.
Coronavirus is more fatal in men than women, major study suggests
Men have a higher risk of death than women from COVID-19, Chinese researchers concluded in the largest study on the outbreak.www.cnbc.com
The estimated "23 times more fatal" mortality rate exists because of a single province - where the virus originated. There, the mortality rate lies at 2.9%. In the rest of China, the mortality rate lies at 0.4%, which is a lot closer to the 0.1% of the regular flu.
Even including the irregular 2.9% mortality rate in Wuhan, the mortality rate only significantly rises above 1% with people aged 60 and above, not only affecting older people but largely affecting older people. Just like the flu.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's a fucking media frenzy with numbers and phrases getting thrown around without context or explanation.
There's no reason to both sides this. One side is saying it's an understandable precaution, the other side is complaining about video games not being shown in the face of a worldwide virusWonderful combination of making fun of people for caring too much about video games and calling people heartless for not trusting a large corporation
Makes them look insanely weak.
The flu is way more of a concern and has a way higher chance of being there, but still Sony shows up every other PAX East during flu season..
I have seen some bad threads on the Gaming side before, but damn...It's clearly not the nutjobs in this thread that are the issue! It's the people calling them out!
Some people seemingly have no shame in using whatever reason they can to shit on a company they dislike. Just goes to show that as a community, this place really isn't any better than other places.I really don't NEED to see anymore of TLOU2 at this point, so no skin off my ass. Feels like this is being made to be a bigger deal than it is due to general angst over the PS5 wait.

I agree. Most here just carry on through it.Honestly, people should be way faster to stay home if they're feeling sick. I don't know about the UK, but people are way too slow to call in sick here. I'm sure a lot of employers are shitty about it, but I think its broadly cultural among employees too. Everyone who even has the sniffles shouldn't be jammed up against me on the train to work IMO.

I'd rather they reveal the PS5 and some next-gen games and announce the delay simultaneously. People will be pissed either way.Devil's Advocate here, but what if they're realising that they won't be able to make enough PS5's due to the virus hitting factory production in China?

It's well known and reported that masks don't stop you getting; they stop you spreadingThe last of us 2 delayed again
That's odd, like the staff can wear masks to avoid getting the virus 🤔
They hire the booth people to but eh, it is what it is
Unless they fly in people from their headquarters to help demo stuff, idk
Eh, weak is very harsh. Borderline inappropriate.Makes them look insanely weak.

Like is there a fucking cure for this corona virus disease ?
Wow.Official Staff CommunicationPeople are allowed to believe this is an overreaction from Sony, just like people are allowed to believe it's a good call. Attacking other members for not following your belief on the matter will not be tolerated and will be moderated accordingly
