[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4344781, member: 105571"]Orange County, Florida is on a complete lockdown and I have heard a rumor that the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) will not be having any gatherings for the foreseeable future, whatever that means. As I write this, the parking lot of the OCCC is a drive-up Covid testing site. Summer FUN 2020 is still up on the FUN website as going on and I don't see any discussion there about cancellation. I did see this: [ATTACH=full]1100199[/ATTACH] Walt Disney World has just announced a non-paid furlough of more than 43,000 cast members for a least a month and probably longer, starting April 19th. I doubt that a money factory like WDW will open by June to any large extent, if at all. So, I doubt that FUN will be a going concern scheduled as it is for July 9th. Even if Summer FUN goes ahead, with about 400 to 500 tables, they will need to have more than one bourse room to achieve the kind of mandated separation. Or a limit on the number of people allowed on the bourse floor at one time, or both. Plus, there will need to be a combination of self-regulation and more-formal enforcement of separation particularly at dealer tables. I can see a requirement that dealers disinfect their surfaces after every customer or some such. All very onerous and difficult. Absent a vaccine or a set of viable treatments, I will probably not be attending Summer FUN. Very painful for me as I live in the area and love the show, bourse, auctions, club meetings and chatting with old and new friends. So, maybe the dealer members here might opine as to what set of requirements might be enough to dissuade them from attending?[/QUOTE]
