On: E3 2020 Cancelled

[behringer]

Not viable imo. There's likely no cure coming this year. In a couple months the virus will be more disbursed and pose an even greater threat of transmission to our attendees that are old or sick and refuse to stay home.

You could say "let's try in August" and if warm weather has positive effects, then I guess it goes ahead, or if not, you just flat out cancel.

It's irresponsible to hold events right now.

That’s what we’re doing with an event originally scheduled for May. We’re postponing until September and hoping for positive news over the summer.

Seems like the best course of action if you can swing it.

The warm weather thing keeps coming up. Sure it’ll be warm where most the population is, but the other half of the world is going into winter.

[davidw → lostlogin]

No one really knows if it has any effect anyway, yet, from what I can tell.

[chasd00 → davidw]

shouldn't we be able to tell from countries on the equator? Or is too early to tell?

[pyrale → behringer]

That is a problem you can handle in a couple months.

At worst, it'll give you more hindsight, and at best time will help people see reason.
