I don't know how much longer the organizers of this show can survive without income. I realize they're a non profit, but they still have expenses. They have full time paid employees and they need office space. I don't know if the sales from the "Comic-Con @ Home" tee shirts is bringing in a lot of cash.
FWIW CCI received a few rounds of the Federal loan money (that doesn't have to be paid back if they don't lay off any employees) so they at least have that going for 'em

Being honest here, this news is not really shocking to see. The writing was on the wall for sometime. Heck, I did say it would happen eventually, targeted or not.
Seriously: it's more of a "maybe a bit too late?" announcement IMO.
On a lighter note, I saw a reaction video where someone was in all ahegao clothes and the reactors said: "That's really smart for social distancing. You wear that and people will stay the [bad word] away from you."It was a great point--I was dying. That's one way to achieve 6 foot separation.
