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

[Orlando Leon <oleon () CSUFRESNO EDU>]

Jerry,

Thank you for taking the step and the courage to respond in the manner in
which you did.  This is obviously a very sensitive topic to many, and I
hope we can all continue to focus as much as possible on the facts of the
current matter.  There are plenty of news articles and blogs about this how
COVID-19 is causing negative perceptions or actions towards certain
demographics.

Here's a CDC encouragement that touches a little on this topic:

Regards,

Orlando
