Well, this is great publicity for Apple. More importantly, not doing it would be terrible publicity. Still, I don't think that has anything to do with it. This is just something normal in times of crisis, where humanity is the driving factor, and whether there is a company involved is irrelevant. I'm pretty sure the things described here have happened in several other places.

Another point I'd like to bring up is that I feel all the new gadgetry is a bit over-hyped in the news (not just here). I wonder if a few decades ago people were so ecstatic about the telephone, radio or television.
