Sony announced awhile back that it will be attending Pax East 2020 due to concerns of the Coronavirus. The mayor of Boston has since reached out to them hoping to convince the company to reconsider its choice.
“These fears reinforce harmful stereotypes that generations of Asians have worked hard to dismantle,They trigger our worst impulses: to view entire groups of people with suspicion, to close ourselves off, and to miss out on the opportunities and connections our global city provides. Boston is united in our efforts to dispel these harmful and misguided fears.
As a large, international company, you have an opportunity to set a good example. As a leader in technology, you can show that you are motivated by facts, not fear. As a leader in gaming and culture, you can show that you believe in connection, not isolation.”Boston Mayor Marty Walsh
This is again reaction to the outbreak and the article points out that one person in Boston was found in with the strain. Now only that but I should also point out that the mayor has also reached out on social media with a campaign to ease fears over China town business. This is due to people fears and reaction negatively to Chinese people growing. I hope the out break can be contained and dealt with properly soon.
