Pre-York Breakfast, Thursday October 22, 2020

I doubt the Covid 19 will be over by October York so I'm making no plans until I hear definitive answers from the CDC and gov't that this thing is over and it is safe resume our life's and hobbies. 

Sorry to be a downer but I just think this virus will not be over by October York.

Dave

Latest update done.....Thursday AM, October 22nd.....likely starting between 0730-0800.

Guess I have to update my Hotel reservation, again.....well, it's worth it!

Dave, Don't be pessimistic, Come on be optimistic.

I agree. I held out hope for April until it was officially cancelled. I will do the same for October until it officially gets cancelled. Although things do look bleak at this point a lot can change between now and then and I think good things are going to happen. Maybe not tomorrow but hopefully soon. 

Peter thanks for continuing this. Paula and I plan to be there.

Stay safe at the hospital. Hopefully some of the meds they are using will be successful. Than could dramatically  reduce the effects of this disease.

Bill

I will wait a bit before making reservations. Maybe a week or so.

Peter:

Carolyn and I will be there. Confident that the coronavirus pandemic will be in the rear view mirror well before the Meet.

Pat

I just extended my stay at the Hampton Inn in Shrewsbury to include Weds night.....I'm all set. See you all then.

That's for sure.   Stay safe the both of you (and everyone else)!

I have my reservation for October. I'm thinking positive thoughts.  If they come to be it will be one heck of a blast at York!

.....right now, we'd be in the middle of breakfast.......sigh.....

Stay safe everyone, see you all in October.

Peter

I am in and looking forward to it.

One event we can start, a contest on who can eat the most with a mask on?

LOL! Hopefully, no need for that by then.

An hour ago I was in the middle of breakfast, but I didn't see any of you guys there, what happened?

I guess that means an early breakfast to beat the rush!

Since York is going to be three days in the Fall, is the breakfast going to be on Thursday or Friday?

I will plan to be there for the breakfast gathering, assuming the "all clear" is sounded by October. Have not made hotel reservations or other plans for Oct. York yet, but will likely do so once I see how things go in another month or so. OGR is currently planning to have a full presence at the October meet, but we'll just have to see how this virus mess goes. At this point I'm neither optimistic nor pessimistic; just realistic.

I'm with Allan. If I were at breakfast, it would have been scrambled eggs, wheat toast, bagel, and maybe pancakes(no fu-fu on them) and coffee.

I have to chime in here and agree with my friend, Dave here. I am not attending any show until this virus goes away to pluto.  Not worth going to October York if things are iffy. I hate to be another downer but that is reality folks.

Well, if October York is held then hands down I am going. Some experts are predicting another Covid-19 pandemic next winter. Of course maybe with a little luck there might be a cure by then but the also so called experts say there won't be. I just don't understand how they can predict things like that but they do. Anyway....like I said if the ED has the meet I am going. If they cancel October York, well then no one will be going.

I realize that many folks in our hobby are older and they may have underling health issues and if they feel it isn't safe to go I totally understand. I am knocking anyone who feels afraid to attend due to their health. Each of us has to make their own decision on something like this.

I'm with you - I don't know what will happen.  But I'm in favor of making reservations now while rooms are plentiful.  If I have to cancel later, so be it - all it "costs" is a few clicks and keystrokes.
