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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#26282A'>Stuart<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#26282A'>On 3/7/2020 11:13 AM, mups53 via NSRCA-discussion wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#26282A'>Guys </span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#26282A'>How many of you would reconsider and cancel your plans of going to the Toledo RC show based on the Coronavirus scare?</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#26282A'> Also if you thought the show would be compromised due to the attendance being reduced?</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#26282A'> I'm scheduled to have a large display.
