Update: April 14-21, 2020

So far, there may have been some more signs of significant seismic activity going on around the world. However, it could end up becoming relatively quiet at first. There is still a very strong potential something major could occur somewhere in the world at any moment. It could take place today, tomorrow or later next week. At this point, I am going to list the regions I suspect may likely be the next to have a large earthquake at anytime or any day: Indonesia(Halmahera, Molucca Sea region, Talaud Islands, Tanimbar Islands, Seram, Sumatra), East Timor, the Southwest Pacific region(Tonga, Fiji, Kermadec Islands, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands), New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines(Batan and Babuyan Islands), potentially Yunnan-China, Tajikistan or Aghanistan or Pakistan, Turkey or Azerbaijan, Chile, Peru, Argentina, or Bolivia, Northern Mariana Islands, Kuril Islands, Aleutian Islands..
The place I am particularly watching is the region between Mindanao(Philippines) and New Guinea. The Molucca and Banda Sea region could potentially be the next region to be hit by a powerful earthquake at any time. There has been a  lot of significant and potentially significant activity taking place there most recently. That tight curve where the Indo-Australian Plate collides Northbound with the Sunda Plate, driven in by the Caroline Plate pushing in a Northwesterly direction.
It consists of the Timor, Aru, and Seram Trenches. It could either be that region or the Molucca Sea, the region between Papua New Guinea and Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Of course, there are a number of other candidates for the next large quake. Closer to home, there still may be more magnitude 4 or greater in the Mammoth Lakes area of California or perhaps the Ridgecrest area. The activity here in Southern California has been winding down, but there is a high potential it could spike back up again anytime or day now. It could hold off until this weekend or next week. At the same time, it could suddenly start warming back up again at any time or tomorrow.
