no in-person meeting, --> IRC: Re: BerkeleyLUG meetup next Sunday -- Thoughts on Cancellation?



No in-person meeting - the county has mandated that choice for us.

IRC - for those who wish, see:
https://berkeleylug.com/berkeleylug/
Some of us may meet on-line during the regular time slot - but no
in-person meeting.

Subject: BerkeleyLUG meetup next Sunday -- Thoughts on Cancellation?
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2020 21:31:33 -0700 (PDT)

Hey all,
By now most/all of you reading this have also viewed the series of
mailing-list thread(s) here regarding Michael P's announcement here 'BALUG:
Tu 2020-03-17 meeting CANCELLED (COVID-19)!; & other BALUG News';
http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2020q1/014612.html

Besides Rick M's keen and prolific insights regarding COVID-19 and the
BALUG meeting cancellation, what do *others* of you who've regularly
attended BerkeleyLUG's meetups think of cancelling next Sunday's
BerkeleyLUG meetup at Cafe Blue Door?

Don't myself know of any pending closures or reduced hours of Cafe Blue
Door (so please inform if/when things change at the Cafe), but did see
today's CDC release 'Interim Guidance for Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19)' at
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/large-events/mass-gatherings-ready-for-covid-19.html
Part of the release that might perhaps be applicable to Cafe Blue Door (as
a regular hangout for Cal students) is ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CDC, in accordance with its guidance for large events and mass gatherings,
recommends that for the next 8 weeks, organizers (whether groups or
individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people
or more throughout the United States.

Events of any size should only be continued if they can be carried out with
adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations, hand
hygiene, and social distancing.  When feasible, organizers could modify
events to be virtual.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other potentially relevant links within today's CDC Interim Guidance
release are
- vulnerable populations,
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-groups/high-risk-complications.html
- hand hygiene and social distancing,
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html
- schools, institutes of higher learning, or businesses,
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/index.html

So again, *besides* Rick M's keen and prolific insights regarding COVID-19
and the BALUG meeting cancellation, what do others of you who've regularly
attended BerkeleyLUG's meetups think of cancelling next Sunday's
BerkeleyLUG meetup at Cafe Blue Door?

Thanks for all of your input(s) on this!

-Aaron
