Cancellation Notice

I'm not surprised to see this responsible decision. A couple of guys I know planned to go to the NY Woodworking Shows, but decided not to take the risk. The organizer has not announced any cancellations so far.

Today we were informed at work that unless travel is necessary to attend a critical contractual event or is considered critical to program performance, all travel is suspended thru April 30. No telling whether this COVID 19 stuff is going to be better or worse by then.

Looks like the handtool event in NH is still on.

suspended thru April 30.  No telling whether this COVID 19 stuff is going to be better or worse by then.

ONLY WORSE!

Come back here on May 1 to see how right (or wrong) I'm.

The W.H.O. is totally rubbish, only calling the outbreak pandemic today. It has been pandemic for more than a month. Too little too late.

Fine Woodworking magazine just notified one of my buddies that its 2020 LIVE in April has been cancelled.

It is good to see the promoters of these, and other more massive events rescheduling. We've been through similar illness events and need to pay attention to what we learned during those. Quelling fears is fine but, don't substitute that for addressing the issues. Proactive beats reactive in things like this every time.

Try to watch/listen to the following. For me, with a science background, the following--all of it--was enlightening. There is no BS. Lots of infectious bugs discussed, of which Covid-19 is a part, that additionally enlightens.
