I wonder if the virus will affect any other concerts, or the tour as a whole? I don't really think it's paranoia...people are dying. Each country is deciding how they're handling their response. It is paranoia because the event is still some time away. People in the high risk population die from flu and other viruses every year so are we now going to pack things up and put lives on hold every flu season? We don’t even know if this virus will still be a think three months from now. How about the lives that will be ruined due this overzealous reactions? People will start losing their jobs soon. Still listed on their website and on Ticketmaster.

That's why I said each country will have to decide for themselves what risks they're willing to take. France has apparently decided to cancel large gatherings. They're a small country.
I doubt anything like that will happen in the US.

They cancel a concert that is 3 MONTHS away? WTF? And only because it has an attendance of more than 5000 people? So if there were only 4990 people those were safe? That’s insane. How about stopping all public transport immediately in Paris? That would make more sense for sure. 🙄
I really hope our German government stays reasonable. It’s said that the virus will slow down with warmer temperatures. And QAL won’t come here until the end of June. That’s summer. No time for such kind of virus. And really: if it hasn’t stopped until then, there is no point in canceling a concert. We will all have it until then. Crazy decision.

Paris also says tickets not being refunded. Will be good on the new date.

Still listed on their website and on Ticketmaster. It does say they are going to reschedule. It’s the government that forbids the concert. THEY won’t reschedule. Hopefully the promoter/QAL will, but I‘m not sure. Such cancellations, that aren’t in the responsibility of the venue, promoter or artist, are usually not part of the insurance. Like when a war starts. You won‘t get your money back then either. So I hope for all the French fans that they will just reschedule, because it would look bad if the fans wouldn’t get a refund or a concert. But from my knowledge, none of it is by law guaranteed.

On board with the wtf group. How on EARTH would they know what the situation is two-and-a-half months from now!!!!
I'm on the fence: i don't want to belittle the Corona Virus, but seriously, the regular flue demands it's victims each year and so does the MRSA. Shout out to the Netzerlands for having a great Management of the MRSA.

No one cares if we die from an old, boring virus.
