There was literally a thread asking the exact same thing the other day.

>>23161153
Events are being cancelled in the west, but what about Japan?

Isn’t Reitaisai this month, anyway?

>>23161153
uh oh

>>23161153

Haven't booked a trip for either of them so not that upset

Hopefully the circles that I like release their new works at Melonbooks despite cancellation if it happens

>>23161153
w-what if ZUN dies of coronavirus...?

aaaand it happened.

its pretty much what will happen

>>23163950
He's still young. Only old people die of that virus.

>>23164829
Is he still? He looked pretty old in the last picture I saw of him...

>>23164841
He's 42

>>23164809

Thank goodness.

Could you imagine the shit that would happen if there was an outbreak there. It'd make international news.

>>23164897
maybe with more exposure (heh) touhou would stop reclining

>>23164901

I'm not sure a virus outbreak at a convention would be the sort of thing to attract new fans.

>>23164843
God I always end up thinking he's like 60 or something. ZUN sure has an old soul.

>>23162090
Nothing canceled so far but people are forced to wear masks, at least it's like this at Designfesta.

>>23164953

With Reitaisai canned I fully expect more cancellations to follow.

Whether it gets bad enough they can the Olympics though...

>>23164953
What the fuck do you mean nothing cancelled? Tokyo Japan was cancelled, concerts are cancelled left and right.

>>23164829
Even if he doesn't die he can still get pneumonia and get reinfected anyhow.

>>23164974
Why is everyone saying reinfection is possible when the tests were faulty and gave incosistent results

>>23164987
Source?

comiket looks like its still going
booth numbers are out

Imagine the amount of surgical mask doujins, haha

>>23165221

Please cancel the Olympics

>>23165241
Imagine slipping under her mask and invading her mouth with your dirty NEET penis!

They canceled Koishien already.

>>23165167
Which is a real problem, because comiket easily gets hundreds of thousands of people and its always claustrophobic as fuck. That's basically the perfect place for it to spread, moreso than every concert or event thats been canceled combined.

>>23166218
lmao

>>23167866

It's going to get cancelled without a doubt.

Last Comiket's attendance was 750k people.

>>23167950
That's what I thought but they're giving out booth spaces like anon said, I've seen a few artists I follow posting about the ones they got already. I'm just hoping they follow up in the next week or so retracting that, saying it's canceled and that was just mismanagement with someone not getting the message or something. God fucking forbid it gets canceled after everyone prints their doujins.

>>23167996

They're just proceeding as usual with their schedule and plans. They hand out booth spaces at the same time as they tell who won the lottery so it's a natural consequence of it. Can't tell those who managed to secure a booth without telling them their location at the same time.

Everyone for Reitaisai also knew their locations yet it was still cancelled. Since Comiket is about 2 months from now, they'll probably announce it week or two from now.

Hopefully as many circles as possible distribute their releases to Melon and Tora since I'd have to use online stores to get them anyway.

>>23167996
Even if the organizers insist on going forward with it an event of Comikets scale would absolutely be shut down by government mandate unless things get much better really quick.
