As meetings get cancelled and travel restrictions increasing, it is becoming evident there could be an impact to the National Sales Meeting in the US next month.
International travelers frequent these large domestic hotels and still use the planes. Large groups in confined spaces poses a real threat even in the US.
No question the National Sales meeting will be cancelled and/or postponed. Extremely risky to put people in harms way and doesn't look good for JNJ to do such a thing in the court of public opinion.
Also, any thought of pivoting this to a regional meeting is equally a bad idea. JnJ should take this opportunity to look at new ways of doing things. This sales meeting could happen electronically, saving a lot of money and time. It would easily be effective. Sales force would get all the information needed. Meetings in person are kind of dumb in the year 2020 anyway

but we need to spend 10 hours on wound closure and biosurgery. I mean don’t forget Nef thinks it’s going to save the franchise! So it must be true
What a bunch of whining pussies. Until you're the one signing the paycheck, shut the fück up and do what you're told.
United states now has 100 cases and 6 deaths. Updated in the last hour. The director general for WHO has warned that the virus has brought the world into "uncharted territory."
If JNJ proceeds with this meeting they are doing so knowing the full scope and risks to their employees and families. Incubation period is about 14 days. Gross negligence is at stake. There wont be a defense for a huge healthcare company to claim ignorance.
In 3 weeks this thing could grow exponentially. The fact that we don't have international travelers means nothing. Its here now already and worldwide. Who knows who could have it on your plane in tight spaces. Airports are the dirtiest places on earth. Cant wait to see the ruthless attorneys destroy JNJ if someone gets infected or dies. The Credo should be the guiding light in this situation. Its an easy decision to do whats right but will greed get in the way?
