He is still under, and on a ventilator. He has an underlying heart condition, his wife said.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, NASA <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/press-release\/nasa-administrator-statement-on-coronavirus-situation\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> one of its employees at the Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley had also tested positive. \u201cWe believe the exposure at the center has been limited, but out of an abundance of caution Ames Research Center is temporarily on mandatory telework status with restricted access to the center until further notice,\u201d the American space agency said.<\/p>\n<p>The news has been greeted with a mixture of shock and inevitable resignation. Tech companies were among the first in the US to tell staff to work from home once it became clear the virus was stateside. Big names including Twitter, Facebook and Google have also <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/02\/27\/coronavirus_conference_cancellation\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cancelled<\/a> large annual conferences in response.<\/p>\n<p>The RSA Conference is significant with roughly 40,000 attendees. As we <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/02\/20\/att_security_out_rsa\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> last month, attendance, we&#8217;re told by organizers, dropped by roughly 500 people \u2013 just over one per cent \u2013 after six of the nine Chinese companies scheduled to attend cancelled in response to the virus outbreak. They were later joined by AT&amp;T Cybersecurity, IBM, and Verizon. <em>Reg<\/em> reporters also <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/02\/26\/rsa_2020_panel_discussion\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">briefly attended<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Calm before the storm?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So far, the San Francisco Bay Area has been relatively lightly hit \u2013 at least according to official infection figures. At the time of writing, there are 154 confirmed cases in California, with 94 of them in the Bay Area. There are more than 10,000 Californians in self-quarantine.<\/p>\n<p>But given the area\u2019s strong ties to China and Asia, and the fact that there remains a severe shortage of testing kits, many are fearful that the virus has spread widely, and it is only a matter of time before the true picture is revealed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2020\/03\/04\/shutterstock_coronavirus.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Mock-up of a coronavirus test\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Now COVID-19's got FAANGs\">Amazon staffer based just a stone&#8217;s throw away from Seattle HQ tests positive for Wuhan coronavirus<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2020\/03\/04\/coronavirus_amazon_worker\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Most recently, San Francisco has become the focus on coronavirus fears after a cruise ship, the Grand Princess, was kept out at sea for several days after 21 people on board tested positive. More than 2,000 people were stuck on the ship, which was finally allowed to dock in Oakland \u2013 on the other side of the bay to San Francisco on Monday, despite complaints from President Trump that letting it dock would increase the stats on infected individuals in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Among other big conferences cancelled today are two run by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Geneva, Switzerland. It has postponed the upcoming World Information Society (WSIS) Forum (originally planned for April; now moved to September) and the AI for Good Global Summit (originally May; now September).<\/p>\n<p>We have been on the lookout for tech-related conferences that are still going ahead, and found one this morning: the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) will still run its annual convention in Dallas, Texas, next week, expecting more than 1,000 attendees and exhibitors.<\/p>\n<p>As opposed to the Californian tech industry, which has decided to listen to the warnings of health professionals over the bluster of politicians, Washington DC-based WISPA has taken a very Trumpian approach to the virus, blaming media coverage over biology and saying in a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/members.wispa.org\/news_archive_headlines.php?org_id=WISP&amp;sniid=26387547\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement<\/a>: \u201cThe WISP industry is a strong and resilient one.
