    Quoted from cottonm4:

    I am scheduled to bring a pin to the show. However, my girlfriend has some respiratory issues and has informed me that if I go, then I will be banned from her house for 14 days after I return. She will be 69. I will be 68 soon. She does not want me to go.
    I stay with family in FT. Worth. My niece has many medical problems, one of them being she has weak lungs and is on oxygen 24/7. My sister-in-lay is 81.
    I have not made the final decision, yet.

    I am not a fear monger, but this should not be even a point of discussion. Priorities, man.

    Quoted from cottonm4:

    I made an honest statement, get thumbed down and “accused” of being a troll. And the title of the thread is “will the virus stop you from attending TPF?”

    Honest questions:

    You would rather go to a pinball convention than see your girlfriend who has a condition for 2 weeks?

    You have a niece who has lung issues. You would risk possible exposure to her to go to a convention?

    To each their own, I guess.

    Quoted from cottonm4:

    My GF and I live in separate communities and usually see each other on weekends and sometimes we miss a weekend. So not much different.
    I can get a cheap motel 4-5 blocks away and not go see my niece.
    But when the GF said she did not want me to go it got my attention.
    And of course there is the email I got from TPF that says they are pressing on.

    I appreciate your candor and will respond with equal candor and respectfulness. I understand what you are saying about seeing your girlfriend on weekends and missing a weekend. Not trying to get into your business, but consider the optics to your girlfriend. She could be interpreting this that you are putting pinball over her health and your relationship. I will not belabor the point but this seems to be a no brainer in not attending.

    I wish you well in whatever you decide to do.

    Good point. I had not looked at it that way. Thank you.

    It’s all good, my friend. Well wishes.

    Guys, don't read too much into the TPF cancellation policy yet. Due to the nature of what is happening that may or may not be the case. No need to get spun up on something without the facts.
