    More than likely 4 weeks from now the situation will be a lot
      worse than it is now.  If I had to make a decision today without
      availability of refunds I would not make plans to go.  It is
      already too late to stop the spread in the US.  We missed that
      boat (or cruise ship) a couple of weeks ago.  You will likely see
      many more cases reported daily especially as testing becomes more
      available.  Right now many "maybe" patients are not being tested. 
      I am an ED doc in NY and I do not have direct control who gets
      testing right now.  Likely to change as tests become more widely
      available in the next week or two.  In my mind the big "if" for
      this virus is if it follows the same seasonal course as the Flu
      which is already on the decline.  If it does then it may not get
      to epidemic proportions in the US before dying out for this
      season.  If it doesn't then we are likely in for significant
      numbers of people getting sick and many requiring
      hospitalization.

      Guys 
      How many of you would
          reconsider and cancel your plans of going to the Toledo RC
          show based on the Coronavirus scare?
       Also if you thought the
          show would be compromised due to the attendance being reduced?
       I'm scheduled to have a
          large display. Mostly with the Gator RC portion of our
          businesses.
       It's on my mind as to
          what I should do.
      I value this lists
          feedback.
      If you were me what would
          you do?
       I'm in for the booth
          space cost. The added budget to go, setup, pay the help,
          provide lodging, gas, meals etc etc etc is in the neighborhood
          of an added $4000.
      So cut my losses or go and
          expose my crew?
      If the Coronavirus hype is
          valid the greatest risk is to older people. That fits the
          exact demographic that attends this show.
       Will anyone even be
          there? 
      I've emailed the show
          organizers and asked them to consider rescheduling to an open
          date in the fall. So far its a firm "the show goes on".
       I respect their position.
          But I have to make up my mind.
      Opinions welcome. 
       Thanks Mike Mueller
