Quoted from Fordiesel69:Nothing is wrong with me. As previously stated, at the time of my post there is / was NO REPORTED CASES in my area, and that I remained at a 50:50 neutral ground. There is never anything wrong with someone asking a question, gathering opinions, and more importantly letting the facts roll in. If there was reported cases, the decision would never have been posted, it would have been canceled without hesitation.
You report your location as being in the netherlands, so you may have different info than I. For 10+ years in my area, you need to understand the media adds huge mountains of drama over simple things. We are accustomed to massive overreactions on a daily basis. Im not downplaying this at all, it sounds very severe in the areas that are impacted. I guess we are very fortunate it has not gotten to our area (yet).
Rest easy, the event is canceled. However please clean up your forum etiquette.
I replied on my forum etiquette via PM.
What I have to say is this: yes, I live in NL, and in NL we are abstemious (had to google that) about most things. This virus however is a nasty one (trust me, I work in health care) and will create massive casualties if it is not contained in the proper way. You state that in your area you don't have much spread of the virus. YOU WILL!! Trust me. And having gatherings like the ones you suggested ain't gonna help you avoid this bugger.
In NL we are in partial lockdown and this is going to affect us all, globally. Healthwise, jobwise, money wise.
So maybe my comment was a bit strong but hey, it got us thinking I guess.
Your cancellation will not affect my rest in any way.
For all you people: stay healthy!
