Coronavirus Concerns?

[Random Axe]

I certainly don't want to miss A Meet year, but reality is a tough opponent. The Olympics were moved to next year. That's huge. I personally have a lot of money and time invested in this show from an inventory perspective, but health and safety comes first, period. Managing a bank during this crisis has shown me that society actually can adapt on the fly. we quickly took measures of mitigation, changed our hours and some procedures and so far has been okay. My branch is one of a few that still accepts walk in traffic. the rest are drive thru only. So if the banking industry can morph at will so can the Meet. I'll just save our figures for when we do have the show and build more inventory in the meantime. I really have no interest in becoming a mail order service but will do some on a limited basis


John and Berto are family members who have survived and will attest thst nobody wants this ever. I'll miss seeing everyone and will be disappointed but I'll live. A lot of people won't. I'm cool with any decision made. everyone stay safe!

I didn't feel called out my friend. My brain and body are moving at the speed of molasses between work and family. We've been quiet because we just haven't had any concrete info.

All I ask is that whatever happens, please remember it's ultimately Robyn's fault. If she hadn't created this place we wouldn't be in this pickle.

Oh man I completely understand, I feel like I've been moving underwater for weeks now, in an almost dreamlike stasis or something. And I totally get it on trying to make a decision based on the whirlwind of ever changing info that's going on now.

Oh, and

Just like Glinda in the Wizard or Oz. She seems nice, but...

Completely understand the challenge, Steve, and am confident you guys will come up with the best way to handle this, I know it isn't easy. I hope you guys don't think I was calling you out on this, that wasn't my intention. I was just curious because it seemed like there was no discussion on this (unless I missed it somewhere, I'm not on FB much) and I thought it odd, as the fate of various events that were supposed to happen over the next several months is a huge topic of conversation in most places.

I completely understand. As someone with underlying lung conditions (asthma), I'm extremely wary of leaving my house, and have barely done so in weeks (other than for walks with the family).

I am now seeing where survivors have become reinfected. I don't know if I would live through it a second time. Either way, I absolutely don't want this again.

My heart really goes out to you Steve! This virus has made your difficult job nearly impossible. As a Covid 19 survivor (yes, I call it survivor) I am more than a little gun shy about even leaving my house now.

I've had some decent online consolation alternatives suggested, and a couple of them might work for a bridge. I'm exploring those now.

A later alternate date/space is a huge challenge for anything in 2020.

I can see Trump allowing constrictions be lifted to allow this in a month and a half but doubt Canada will follow suit.

Yeah, no way is Canada following suit yet. Plus, Canada and the US just extended the border restrictions for unnecessary travel for an additional 30 days, which would take it to May 21st. After that, who knows...
And I agree with the rest of what you had to say as well.

I like the sound of an online alternative. With livestreaming, video conferencing, online auctions, etc. I think there is still a lot of goodness that could be shared at a time when folks could use more good things.

That's understandable. I was just selfishly thinking out loud.

[thunderbolt]

I don't wish ill on anyone, I'm just tired, frustrated, and disappointed. Every selfish person who doesn't care about this might infect someone.

I really want to attend Mego Meet and see my friends here and perhaps make new ones. I'm looking forward to an announcement about rescheduling, it's an inportant weekend to me. I think it will be more special after all that is happening when we can meet.

when I go out in public, judging by the amount of masks I see a lot of people care about this and are concerned. I hope that translates to people not going nuts if some irresponsible governors feel the need to go wide open on May 1st

If we can’t pull off June I REALLY hope it’s rescheduled... This event resets my sanity for the next year
