I thank everyone for the civil discourse on this topic. All of our opinions need to be considered with the understanding there will not be a consensus.

It is hard to predict pandemic conditions in two weeks - much less a few months from now. 

My objective through the first of next year is to minimize to the extent possible my risk factors. I will miss going to the NETCA, and other train meets this year. I will miss being with throngs of people swaying to the music of my favorite bands. Like you I will miss (insert your favorite activity being impacted).

I'm impressed at the conversations taking place to reduce the risk at train meets. Outside is probably the smartest. Masks of course and perhaps asking people not to handle items for inspection will help (I love picking up pieces to view condition - I'd need to tie my hands to my belt).

Whatever you decide, stay safe and have some fun as we use our hobby as a safe refuge. 

All the best,

Paul

 

As I mentioned yesterday, this discussion is helpful in planning for the meet.  I'm thinking of having two sanitary supply posts, one at the entrance table and the other in the middle of the area.  We'll have hand wipes, sanitizer spray and surgical gloves.  We'll also have bottles of sanitizer around on the tables.  We'll make it easy to find and use gloves and to dispose of them.  Those gloves, the kind your doctor uses for examination, are barely noticeable when you get used to them.

I'd like to order about a 5 mph breeze, but the weather brewery's cooperation is much in doubt.  :-)
