Quoted from Zitt:Despite the "following CDC" rules bit posted by the Organizers of TPF. I am concerned.
At the moment; I am still committed... but I know a friend of my backed out because he has underlying medical - so is at risk.
Austin - sadly - has already cancelled all "large events" until April. I suspect if things get worse; Frisco will too.
So, if community spread is a real problem by end of march in TX. I will also be staying home.
If it becomes no worse than we currently see... then I'm still in.As a free play exhibitor; I expect TPF to explain how or if they will be wiping down machines.
I do not want my machines getting doused with hand sanitizer by attendees... nor do I want the TPF organizers taking it upon themselves to sanitize my machines. I don't know what the impact is of these chemicals to my machines... maybe nothing; but in 20 years; will the art be faded because of it.
Hopefully; TPF has the appropriate insurance to cover the cancellation of the show. I'd hate for this to be the end of TPF.
The concern is real. I've had 2 friend back out from attending this year so far.
I still plan to attend, but, unfortunately, am unable to bring games this year as I have done in the past.
If you are not in a vulnerable group and practice decent hygiene, you can minimize risks.
Best of luck and health to all.
