    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.

    TPF did put out a statement... I read it... but pretty sure it was an event email. If it was posted to FB or somewhere else; it has been removed. It said; the show was still going on.. And they had no plans on cancelling but was working with the City of Frisco and Hotel daily.

    My Day job basically started plans to force work from home.
    I know I heard Frisco had a small cell of infection on last night's news.
    I think Austin may have a suspected case - but not 100% sure.

    I'm leaning toward cancelling for many reasons I've already stated.
    1) I'm not willing to risk my personal machines getting damaged by a paniced public.
    2) I'm not willing to expose my Wife to Covid-19 given her health concerns.

    I'm also worried that many people like me will choose not to bring a machine... which means there is no show.
