Geneva Car Show Just Cancelled

As the title states plus Switzerland just banned all large events(Edit till March 15th). Looks like Basel World may not be happening this year since things will likely get worse before they get better. Hope people bought trip insurance. I'm scheduled to go on a Japan cruise in June, was thinking to wait out before I cancel but now I'm concerned that travel insurance companies might start going belly up from the Tsunami of claims that are going to start coming in.

Definitely, which is why cancelling these sorts of events (specifically, in localities where it is spreading) is frankly an ethical decision.

Personally, a cruise (or airplane) sailing around Asia is probably the last place i would want my family to be in during a major flu season or this Coronavirius.

Can you reschedule the cruise?

I wish you guys would check forum before posting multiple threads on the same subject, and what as a car show to do in the Rolex watch forum.

It's pretty clear that Switzerland wants no part of the coronavirus and I can't say that I blame them.

Yeah, I canceled my attendance at RSA last week and I’ve heard attendance was super light. MWC was canceled also. Going to be a really bad year for the trade show folks...
