That's indeed dire. We were hoping for quite a bit more; China obviously
is one of the major communities in the region.
We should talk cancellation options with the hotel.
My guess is that we best cancel entirely (and discuss a new venue/time
separately instead of rushing), but if the hotel is open to waiving fees
if we reschedule there, that might be an option.
Week 21 (May 18-22) as already proposed, or in the second half of June,
early July? I feel we need sufficient time for folks to make alternate
plans.
Let's hope everyone recovers quickly, that the illness comes under
control and that we have a vaccine soon.
