I'm in complete agreement. What I'm hearing in the news by epidemiologists implies this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Based on some estimates I've seen *I think* it may peak sometime in May, June or even later. I'm personally fine having VCFE in the fall sometime, or even possibly deferring it to next year (not the first time this has happened).

I’d say that is it then for me. If the State of NJ doesn’t want events of size being held we ought listen to that.

I know this is going to be inconvenient, and frankly I have no idea if I’ll get the money I’ve paid for my hotel stay refunded or not, but I really don’t want to feel responsible for spreading a disease because people are touching my old keyboards and joysticks.

The VCF demographic is solidly middle age and older, exactly the people this is affecting most.

Not that I get a vote, but if I do have one, I vote to cancel and find a date later in the year.

Looks like NJ is recommending all gatherings of >250 be cancelled.

May seem a little far-fetched but not too far from the truth. ... so they're gonna drop a bomb on us?

Great, now we're moving into (out?) to a Billy Joel song ... never could understand why they blew the Bronx away ...;-)
