Here’s what we’re talking about this week on the GeekWire Podcast.

Meetings and conferences were cancelled or moved online, and many firms told employees to work from home for the rest of the month. GeekWire was no exception: Our annual awards event has been postponed.

We inaugurate a new feature: Tweet of the Week! We have two this week and both are focused on … you guessed it … the coronavirus.
