#2"We will be closing all of our retail stores outside of Greater China until March 27" - Does this mean all stores globally closed, except inside China, which are back open?

Yes. And all retail employees will continue to be paid.

#5Nice! Everyone make sure you get your coronavirus response papers ready! Wouldnt want to be the only person on the planet not talking about how they're handling it!

#6Apple’s committed donations to the global COVID-19 response — both to help treat those who are sick and to help lessen the economic and community impacts of the pandemic — today reached $15 million worldwide.
Not that it's Apple's job to fix COVID-19, but this is the equivalent of an average US houshold income family crowing about donating $1.80 of their yearly $63k income. Using Apple's annual profit, not revenue. [Edit: correction $18]

Wouldn't it be more like $15? Apple's operating income in 2019 was 63k M, so if you remove the M's you get $15.

This really is an underrated comment.
In the last 24 hours I've received more than a dozen emails from random businesses that have my email address - many of which I have not interacted with in years - letting me know that my health and safety is their top priority. It's like someone in the marketing department realized "hey, here's an opportunity to send some spam without looking sleazy".
It's opportunistic and gross.

#10I wonder which companies will benefit from this pandemic, long-term. If there’s a surge in remote working, for example, seems like that could be good for FAANG, bad for transport companies, commercial real estate, public events. Is there any analysis out there about this?
