Re: [WISPA] COVID-19 and WISPAmerica
Chiming in with personal opinion. Rick is correct in decision. After studying the organization's of government in Texas and Dallas recommendations as well as effectiveness of daily decisions on virus containment, and looking at Texas stats of infections as of today... it is apparent to me that three things should be done at this date and time. 1) Follow all the directions from CDC and WHO on personal prevention. The hotel has worked hard on provisioning some protection as well. 2) Monitor local government health division responsible for decisions regarding permits for gatherings. So far, they have cancel a couple high count, close quarter events such as a cattle auction and parade. They should be the main.decision makers of local events, which there are many every day. I suggest a phone call, if not done by WISPA to that organization to.confirm that there is currently no serious meetings on pulling permits next week. 3) This is a new virus, probably will be around just like the current and prominent virus we suffer each year which for 18 years, which was called the Hong Kong flu when it first arrived. If so, we all will probably have it sometime now or in the years it remains. Why is the current virus not called a permentent pandemic? Regardless, with current information on Texas and travel infections, plus the effort and authority of our local, state and national health officials... they should make the calls for closures where it makes sense. We do need to protect the older people, not just above 70, but 50 and up. Of the deaths in China, most were men 50 and up, which a scale of larger numbers the older you were. Why men? It is believed to be because 80% of men in China smoke and only 4% of women. So if you are above 50 and a smoker, take extra caution and like the rest of us, follow the news on ALL news sites to make the best decisions, and listen to health departments. Do take this virus serious.

Re: [WISPA] COVID-19 and WISPAmerica
Wouldn't be surprised if they pull permit. Lot of areas are not allowing gatherings of over 50 people... We'll see.
