I am not its hugest fan, but this is going to have a huge impact locally.

(11,555 posts)I think all large gatherings should be postponed until this whole virus thing gets sorted out. I also think that religious groups Like the Jehovahs Witness's should think about canceling all their large conventions this year. I know they hold some in Seattle, and others in he Tri Cities here in Washington State, and they do so in every other state.
The worse part is their door to door "service" which could also spread the virus. The problem is these conventions rake in millions of dollars for the head office back east.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
