Magic K-ball

b1-66er: Make a prediction. 
About anything. 
It's WAY better than hearing you rolling numbers like a beaver ball, again. 

Special K: That's because I mostly know to shut up.
I predict online-only.
WWDC will be canceled*.

b1: Agreed. 

K: The next wave is canceling the online-only versions of conferences that were instituted a couple of weeks ago.

b1: Oh! Interesting! Why?

K: Even to put on the online things requires people to get together to do planning. That's super hard to do now.

b1: Ah!

K: International air travel will be suspended (if it isn't already).

b1: ALL countries or just U.S.?

K: Just US, I mean.

b1: Okay. 
If the U.S. does it,  will others follow?

K: Not many. Maybe big countries.


*this is a bit of a cheat by the K... I've already heard from my contacts at AAPL that the WWDC is not happening live and they're just trying to figure out the messaging... and the K has/had b-fast every Friday with in-and-out AAPL employee, the Grumbler. Likelihood that K heard it "somewhere" is high.
