The CDC just banned meetings over 50 people, to slow the spread of this<br>
virus so as to keep peak usage within the capabilities of our<br>
healthcare system. At this point, physical public meetings of any size<br>
are ill advised.<br>
<br>
We're lucky we live in an era where, one way or another, we can meet<br>
online. Out of respect to the old and frail within the society, I think<br>
we should take advantage of online meeting capabilities.<br>
