• Yeah but if the aim is to limit spread, the sooner the better. A whole weekend of large events will see contamination of how many more?

    Sending an email/ SMS to staff and attendees is hardly a huge logistical challenge these days. Would far rather concert I'm going to go to is rescheduled than be given choice of not going and being in a confined space for 3hrs or not going and getting skinned the best part of £100 for the pleasure of doing what the government is asking us to do in a couple of days anyway...

  • As I said upthread, I think much of it is also to do with behaviour. Saying you are going to do something in a few days lets people have time to accept it. Saying it starts NOW can cause more panic. And I assume the powers that be are making the calculation (\Sean Kelly voice) that a few more infections is worth the time to get the public ready for disruption.
    (All IMO though - may just be incompetence/bribes etc.)

    Mrs m_v's drag thing tomorrow has been cancelled. I am very happy about that as I brought it up last night and she was not for missing it.

    She did get a bit upset when I said that if we went we should probably cancel the plans we have with her 70 odd year old, heart condition carrying father next week but she still wasn't willing to take the decision to stay at home and miss the show.
