Coronavirus Concerns?

We should have it anyway, what the heck--this is 'Murica!! I see a beach reopened in FL and people--literally--fled to it like lemmings.

I'm sorry, I've spent a long week in healthcare dealing with this pandemic and some people--including some of our "leaders"--are deluding themselves. Ignorance is no longer an excuse.

its supposed to be limited hours and crowd sizes, but it will thin the herd some more. FLA land of idiots

some of the restrictions on crowds sizes and indoor gatherings will impede it. If there is a resurgence in cases as people get out more it will be right back to TP and bacon hoarding.

Call it the way you think is best, Steve. All kinds of tough and crazy decisions all over the place right now. It is a disappointment, for sure. But, maybe we can have an online customs auction, and folks can host sales tables in the marketplace. Make due and hold steady for the reschedule or the next year, whichever seems most prudent. I have total faith in your judgement.

I think that's best. I'll keep working on my custom.

I believe you're right Steve.

Columbus is scheduled to gradually reopen beginning 5/1, 'cause the economy is more important than lives. That being said, it's looking like postponement is the only responsible option. There's no pressure to release the space, so I haven't rushed to make an announcement. My gut tells me I'll be calling it soon and issuing refunds.

If it is postponed, it will allow me time to get my custom perfect.

I hate the idea that it will be, but I anticipate that it is likely (they canceled Comicon). My concern is for the health and safety of my fellow Mego fans. And if that is assured, that's far more important.

That is to say, I'll be slightly disappointed, but I will soldier on.

I'm not even sure what air travel will be like by June. Right now, if I travel outside of Texas I have to quarantine for 2 weeks.

I can see Trump allowing constrictions be lifted to allow this in a month and a half but doubt Canada will follow suit. The last thing I want is for any of my friends here to catch or spread this awesome virus. I’m rooting for it to be postponed because I care about you guys. Kinda seems like a no brainer at this point.

I'm not sure if the elephant in the room has been discussed recently, I wasn't around here for awhile but I don't see anything posted about it. This event can't be still happening as scheduled, can it? I honestly can't imagine everything will be back to normal in a month and a half, and I personally can't imagine travelling to the US again for a looooong time (and especially not to Ohio if they actually reopen early like they want to, which I personally think is a terrible idea). Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes, just curious.

Harajuku, Sunday Afternoon.

Brue, words cannot express how much I needed that right now.

Thanks for posting that vid, from the bottom of my heart. I have been missing Japan, and I love P, B & J.

Mego Strong!

I'm hoping we're on the other side of this by mid-June, but if not I have every intention of rescheduling if possible. I'm making inquiries on alternate dates and locations just in case.

Another consideration is the CMHoF dinner. The shared parenting plan I have with Austin for the Mego Museum customs community legally binds us to do what's best for the child, which honestly I think we'd both do anyway. Whatever Plan B arises, we'll try to cover all the bases.
