Not sure but Kona might be allocating those cancelled IM KQ slots over to certain 70.3 race AG winners. Check out the FAQ section.

I disagree partially, but you raise a very valid point and solution.
Given the current scenario of races cancelled into May, perhaps beyond, surely it is more likely that IM will simply reallocate those Kona slots to the remaining available races prior to cut off.
So this will include the 70.3 races and likely fill up Kona with whatever 70.3 and IM races they can in the given racing period.
I think this may be the most practical solution.
The alternative would be for the remaining IM races to double/triple/quadruple/multiply their given Kona slot allocations.
Let's see whichever option they go with.
My money would actually be on both...
Either way, they will have to wait until proper social distancing has taken effect and the virus is contained.
Seems many countries are still ignorant to this and have yet to go through a massive increase before this will happen.
