4/20 Cancelled Due to Coronavirus
Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, is a virus that emerged in late 2019 that has not been previously identified in humans. COVID-19 is accompanied by a range of symptoms, with common signs of infection including respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Globally, over 284,491 have been diagnosed with the virus and over 11,838 have died. The exponential increase in diagnoses has prompted global governments to enact serious measures, with Italy in total lockdown, and the United States putting a moratorium on travel to and from Europe, with President Donald Trump declaring the virus a National Emergency.
Store shelves are being emptied, curfews are being enacted, sports events are being canceled and global stock markets are plummeting. Needless to say, this is having serious impacts on almost every industry, including the cannabis industry.
