COVID-19 is about to hit North America... will it blow over by October?

will be annoyed if Citizencon is cancelled, but this is the way.If it is cancelled, we can still do a TESTie event!
I'm up for a TESTie event. I would think this will die down by the fall.
no Fing way ill be a bit put out if its cancled. my boss just approved the time off.
If there’s no CitCon I suggest TESTcon as a replacement.
Even if citizencon is not canceled this so needs to happen.

Unlike politics, mother nature doesn't lie. If the event gets canked due to the possible threat, i'm fine with that. Kinda hard to play a fake reality game when your dead in reality. No death of a spaceman reboot here. Remember folks, wash yer hands PROPERLY and carry hand sanitizer.
Guess I've been voluntold. Typical military. Haha
Oh jeeze... its a flu! Just a different strain. Older people and people with health issues are the most affected and at higher risk. I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV. The Con is like 10 months away. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
Death rate from the normal seasonal flu is 0.1%
Death rate from COVID-19 was 2.4% in China and 1.4% elsewhere.
Technically you are correct, its just another flu strain, but one that is 10x more deadly.
I don't think this is a extinction virus, and no sense running around with our hair on fire.
Ebola mortality rate is 90%, 10% survival according to the World Health Organization, Africa.
COVID-19 on its current trajectory, using your website is ~0.0649
That said, I think it is a little early to be preparing for Armageddon or the zombie apocalypse.
The vaccine is a over a year away, but they said they would have antivirals fairly soon.
PANIC --- CNN declares a PANIC ... CNN? Hell, it must be true.
Ok, this settles it, China needs its own SC servers that are separate from the rest of the world. 1st the go around other games cheating with bots & hacks & now they're trying to spread disease around the world? My PC's antivirus does a decent job currently, but I don't want it to die from watching CitizenCon 2960 as it's hosted live from Beijing China. Oh, this is about a human virus? Then I'm not worried because CR will save us all & we have the power of Montoya on our side with a special @Blind Owl to help him see where the trouble is brewing.
Nobody said that.
Nobody is doing that.
We are just tracking its progress and linking to sources. Having information does not equate to running around with your hair on fire.
Depends, how many beers does it take to kill it?
