Don't come to France!
"Funny" (in quotes!) you say that. While meetings and conferences are being cancelled all around I just received a reminder from the organizers of a conference to take place in Paris a few weeks from now telling me I'm late with my registration ...
It's a Nigerian scam!

Well...I have tickets for my wife and I to see ZZ Top again in Vegas next Saturday at the Venetian Theater (I was going to surprise her once we arrived there), and have been having some mild apprehension about the thought of attending.
The last couple of days I've actually been hoping they would cancel, and sure enough just found out the entire five night residency has been canceled. No biggie as we've seen ZZ Top many times, though will miss out on third row in a small theater.
Now wondering if we should go to Vegas at all...was just there on New Years and don't see much of a reason now to go back so soon. Free/comped rooms make it easy to cancel, and a six hour drive through the desert doesn't sound like much fun with the destination being a breeding ground of disease (crowded casinos, etc.), but with a few hundred extra dollars refunded from the ZZ Top tix might want to do a bit of gambling ha...make some lemonade out of lemons....or just play it safe and stay home.
Already resigned to the fact the Stones shows will be canceled, and there are a few more concerts I have tix for that are more than likely to be canceled as well.
None of them mean much at all though when compared to the seriousness of this global problem, and the impact it's having on so many people ...it's all a bit eery....like a Twilight Zone episode...stay safe everyone!

All schools closed in Washington State now though April 24th (at least).
Right thing to do..
I am a bit relieved my daughter (ironically home sick this week) will not be going for a while

For anyone who has flights booked with BA they have today updated their rebooking and refund policy to include all bookings due to depart up until May 31st the previous policy was only for bookings made from March 3rd.
Most airlines are now being very flexible with regards to bookings and also some of the big hotel chains are now providing options to rebook or take a credit for future use even with non refundable bookings.

By tomorrow NYC schools, located in the no. 1 US coronavirus state, will be the only ones left open.

Yes I was pleased to hear your daughter’s test came back okay. It’s good
Washington state has closed schools for a long period. Washington state seems to be taking the crisis as a true emergency and I understand they are
considering some drastic options which other states have not yet implemented.
We live in Illinois and are waiting to hear if my daughter’s high school
will close beginning Monday. Hopefully it will.

The experts have said people can have the virus and show no symptoms. So does this mean some of these people could test negative and still actually have the virus?
