The Weeknd is on SNL tonight. Will he now speak out against feeling your face?

That is Socialism, which I've been told is bad.

Government that cares and works for the people.

How horrible. Saint Ronnie said so.

Not like anybody has a job anyway.

I thought it was a famous street in San Francisco...

Oh wait, that's Lombard. NVM.

We were thinking of going to Amsterdam in end of May for a week because one of our friends has to go for business (company is based there). We were all going to go together. Um not right now it seems. A little digging and with all the stuff we are reading what a potential for a mess.
Her job might cancel the whole thing. Lots of companies are banning travel and going online for meetings.
The Nederlands has a thing on country website about be prepared for cancellation of travel in parts of the country. Not happening yet but not out of the picture. (They actually have a fairly large # of confirmed cases and are a direct route of trade from China- who knew)*.
There is the potential for being trapped not being able to come back- tempting.
Some stuff on a medical site saying there is evidence that the virus is more tolerant of heat/humidity than other viruses that die back. There is some indication that cases may not diminish.
A lot of places are booking and saying you can cancel but really mean you bump the timing with in a year. The other folks could theoretically just move the trip to a diff time. mr les works in college athletics- we have a little window of opportunity- no shifting time frames.

Not a panic type person but not really willing to gamble on thousands of $$ that we might not recoup.

*and Canada lists it as a high terrorism risk site.

Similar situation here... “the Wife” and I have been planning a trip to Europe (parts still unknown) to celebrate our 25th anniversary this Spring. Also targeting the end-of-May timeframe, but we are close to bagging that whole idea due to multiple travel uncertainties. While we are both rather disappointed that we cannot celebrate our Silver anniversary as we wanted to, I told her that I would still love her next year, and we can try it again then.

I wouldn't worry. The stable genius says this is all a hoax and will go away in April.

Same here. Wife and I are hoping for Spain/Portugal this fall, but all of this is causing us to wait off on doing anything concrete for a bit.

As is well known around here, I was hoping to leave for a bit during general election season. In a holding pattern now.

If this doesn’t start to subside in a few months we’ll have a lot to worry about

Dumbest assessment of this I've seen yet from a Facebook comment about the Arctic Winter Games being cancelled:

"It's just another version of the flu, what's the big deal?"

Our honeymoon plans were torpedoed.
