Wuhan virus my ass. It's COVID. In SEA, we can gather in small groups without fear of killing each other. I don't expect there to be long lines for the system anyway, as consoles aren't the popular here. But I imagine most countries aren't in the same shitty predicament that the US is, so the fear of going out to buy things in person isn't a thing here. That and we're not a bunch of assholes, so we can wear masks and queue up properly, without devolving into mass Karenism. I imagine Japan will have a fairly orderly launch. The same for Korea. Even before the pandemic, you'd often see Koreans and Japanese expats wearing their masks whenever they felt ill, because it's common courtesy in those 2 countries to protect people around you from your germs. Launch consoles might be in greater supply than basic human decency, in some countries.
