Re: [EXT] [SECURITY] Conference in April -- concerns?

[Jerry Tylutki <jtylutki () HAMILTON EDU>]

I think it is inappropriate to speak to the origination point of this virus
or to make any insinuations on China as a whole - it does not add to the
contextual conversation surrounding the potential impact to travel, both
nationally and internationally and existing concerns to attending
a conference. The larger concern is the ease with which this virus can
spread, the incubation period before symptoms may show, and the number of
people that are in close proximity. Recommending a focus on social
distancing would be more worthwhile than listing rates of infection for a
cruise ship.

I have plans to attend Educause SPC and plan on going at this time. The
decision will be easier to make as we get closer to the date and we see
what kind of impact and spread are occurring. Just make sure to purchase
refundable tickets.
