The Trump administration's decisions with regards to Covid19 (having government workers with no protection tending to patients and bringing patients to the continental US) might have led to GDC getting downsized or cancelled this year, and I'm mad about it.

UC Davis, the location of the patient with no connection to China, is located in northern California, right near some treatment centers with government workers who weren't given proper protection.

GDC is also located in Northern California.

In response to the news of the patient so close to the conference, several companies pulled out of GDC, including Microsoft, Epic, Sony, and others (there are definitely some companies that dropped out quietly without making a public announcement).

I follow the former director of GDC on twitter, Meggan Scavio, and from what she's saying GDC isn't prepared for something like this, cause they just never expected it. In the 30ish year history of GDC, nothing on this scale has come up.
