mitchells Posted March 10 Not looking good for JazzFest this year. SXSW already canceled with an announcement coming later today that Coachella will be postponed until October. More to come I'm sure. Will probably still go to New Orleans for a long weekend as we expect many musical shows to still take place. Devastating to the economies of these cities. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 11 Right. Las Vegas tugs less at the heartstrings, but I have one conference canceled already, and I expect the rest of the spring season to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can always come out to the golf tournament Corona virus related...the players (for the most part) are thrilled not to “have to” sign autographs. Especially some of the disingenuous ones who make a big show of signing while the cameras/media are around 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn Posted March 11 Sitting around the hotel in Nashville, waiting for the powers that be in the SEC to make a decision whether to play the tournament with only the players and “essential personnel” in the arena. The cynic in me says they will wait to ban fans until after the first two rounds are played. We did that in Atlanta in 2008 when the Georgia Dome was hit by a tornado during the tournament. And once on Tour after brutal storms made the “outside the ropes” part of the course at Congressional (AT&T National) too dangerous for spectators. Was great to watch Tiger with zero spectators.

Orik Posted March 11 Apparently Israel will announce later today that it has a vaccine ready for testing. eta: or at least over the next couple of days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted March 11 I've been checking daily about the Specialty Coffee Expo. Still on as of right now, because it doesn't start until late April, but if we do in fact institute a travel ban to/from Europe I'm almost sure it will be postponed.

bloviatrix Posted March 12 A kid in my son's school has tested positive. We're not on lockdown yet, but practicing social distancing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 12 I like the idea of social distancing, but then I get on the subway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Behemoth Posted March 12 Should we split Corona Virus from this thread? I Assume it will be a popular topic for the next few weeks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evelyn Posted March 12 So, they did decide to ban fans. Guessing the sports bars will make out quite well. I know our fans had a 3 night hotel minimum. So I’m sure the other schools did the same. Heard lots of people saying since they paid for the rooms, they might as well stay. When I went down to get some coffee this morning, the hotel bar was already open and doing a brisk business (at 8 am ). I’d love to know by the end of the weekend how many “drunk and disorderly conduct” arrests are made.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted March 12 Anyone want to venture a guess as to which option (events having spectators vs ex-spectators congregating in bars, etc) creates more chance of contagion? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
