Summer FUN in Orlando

This posted on the FUN website. Still planning on the show but no public information on how the issues will be dealt with. This morning, my weekend breakfast crew was able to gather at our diner for the first time in months to share our accumulated lies and exaggerations. Missing one member though who died last week from cancer. Joy tempered with sadness. But we in Florida are starting to open up and you can see it in the traffic levels.

If this happens, what are the dates? Thanks!

 

I'm not sure what to think. That's a lot of people to put in one building.

Huh, I guess I had just assumed it would be cancelled. I was thinking of going this year, but I cancelled my plans.

I'll be there in January, though!

 

Additionally, a significant portion of the attendance falls into the "higher risk" categories because y'all are all old

 

That would be a hard "no" from me.

 

Cold, Jason, Cold. And to think I just bought your book.

 

I would love to go, and it would be a great excuse to visit my Dad ( two birds, one stone and all that.) I had assumed the show would be cancelled, as the shows in Rhode Island are. It’s definitely something to think about. It would just be timing and money. I have zero concerns about the virus. And before anyone feels the need for a lecture, I’m an American. It’s my right to be concerned or not at my own discretion.

 

Haha, I take it back!

But, I'm sure that the average age of the attendees has to be a factor in considering whether to hold the show or not.

 

Oh, lord, please don't kill off what's left of the collector base!

 

I thought it was canceled. Wanted to come to the Summer show for the first time but there is no way I'm going. I'll be at the January Fun as long as this mess is over.

 

This is purely my own speculation but I suspect that the FUN directors and their OCCC partners along with Orange County and the FUN consultants and contractors are diligently working out all the details of social distancing, hall population, disinfection, etc. I am positive that a set of behavioral guidelines will be published in advance of the show for all participants. While I am in the old group but with a minimal set of comorbidities, I will be considering seriously my attendance based upon what published standards I see and once I'm there, how well they are adhered to. Of course, it's easy for me because I live here. Those with flights and hotel rooms to consider, be they dealers or collectors, have a much more consequential decision to make.

 

Don't forget to call Randy at ICG for a spot on the educational program!!

 

I would never fail to consider the welfare of others. Especially my Father. I knew at least some sort of lecture was imminent, I didn’t think it be from you though. Anyway, all of that would be taken into consideration. One thing that I know will happen at some point this summer: my Father coming up here to the North East to visit his kids. And that’s a decision he’s already made for himself.

 

Summer fun is a lot smaller than winter. I’m sure they’ll spread the tables and aisles out a lot more.

 

Discussing this type of hypothetical logic is what got me banned from CU. Let's suppose this or that happens. How about adding a few "What if's" too. Whatever we suppose, life goes on for some and not for others.

Since I'm also very concerned about the welfare of others, I suggest you don't get into your car tomorrow or even leave the house because you may kill someone's father. Get my drift?
