> Ask yourself if that's a risk you're welling to take having been associated with that conference. This seems to be as if making a choice between what actually might be good and how something might impact you personally (psychologically or otherwise). It's the difference between thinking 'I could never live with myself if that carnival amusement ride killed a child' vs. 'I'd hate to have a child killed on that carni…
Totally fair, I went back and forth on the wording a few times, and never felt like I got it quite right. I didn't want to come across as saying "You will have blood on your wants if you do this", but I think there is a risk that there will be blood on the hands of event organizers. I guess I didn't know how to frame it other than "are you willing to risk this outcome?"
I'll back you on your wording. Made perfect sense to me and I'm right at Ground Zero (Redmond, WA) of the US outbreak and in the high risk cohort (old, fat, diabetic). These decisions have to be made as you've phrased it.

#93The NAB show 2020 (April 18 - 22, Las Vegas) is still holding out, "The Show is On. Stay Informed.": https://nabshow.com/2020/attend/onsite-services/coronavirus-... I wonder how many more days until they cancel as well. We have booked a stand and are planning to show a demo. Flights and hotels are booked. It feels slightly weird working on the demo, with the very high chance of it not happening after all.
On the website it says: > NAB has been monitoring the evolving situation on coronavirus both in the U.S. and around the globe. Due to the public health emergency we are currently facing, we believe that it is not possible to move forward with NAB Show as planned. Please see below for a message from NAB’s president and CEO Gordon H. Smith, along with some FAQs about the decision. So I guess 0 days!
So no more hourly spam from shady orgs trying to sell me a list of attendees? Nooooo...

#94Why don't they just do it over YouTube?
Nintendo has been doing that for years.

As an organizer of a very small event coming up in mid April, I'm terrified of the flu ransacking our group and killing some of our members many of whom are straight up sick and elderly. We're giving guidance to stay home if they're at risk, but I know if we have the show they'll be there. If we cancel the show it'll be devastating in other ways, and our group is overall conservative and fiercely advocates personal r…
Take a look at the Biogen conference. 70 of 92 coronavirus cases in MA are linked to the employees of that company, and the conference is thought to have been a major vector [1]. Ask yourself if that's a risk you're welling to take having been associated with that conference. I think event organizers are in a particularly brutal position. I know that the credibility and finances of a lot of events are on a thread, an…
Thanks this is a good case study to present to the board. It's one I was unaware of that closely mimics our conference.

As long as animal crossing still come out on time, we can give up on the real world and just permanently live in the digital one.
Have you seen the Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing memes? They crack me up. Same release day, so the Doom community started saying they just wanted Animal Crossing as a half-joke, and it escalated from there. https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/24/21150803/animal-crossing-i...
I love it. Especially the video with Isabelle walking into gamestop and buying doom eternal while the doomguy buys animal crossing.

The warm weather thing keeps coming up. Sure it’ll be warm where most the population is, but the other half of the world is going into winter.
No one really knows if it has any effect anyway, yet, from what I can tell.
shouldn't we be able to tell from countries on the equator? Or is too early to tell?

#99Aw. The best part of E3 was always the decor all the studios do to their booth. Hard to replicate that experience since it's very similar to visiting an art museum.
I wonder if the studios will just release the playable demos to the press now. The worst part of E3 was always waiting hours in line for a 5-minute demo experience. If they can digitally release the games, it'd be so much better.

It's good wording that by chance I already realized last night when I was talking to our 70 year old organizer who's going through chemo and he was telling me he's coming...
I really don't want his blood on my hands. If it's decided to push forward, I'll do what I can to stop people from taking unnecessary risks.
