The problem is we still don't know if the hot weather will help stop it or not. I'd think humidity would actually exacerbate it.
The cancellations for the Convention Center have begun.
And at the convention hotels, too. I work in a few pretty big convention hotels in the area and they're having cancellations left and right. Starting to look like it's gonna be a rough month at the least for the industry.

And FL is as dry right now as it ever gets“Higher Humidity Lowers Flu Transmission. You may be safer from the flu in a humid room than in a dry one, according to a new study from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

I searched flu because it is a virus and because I didn’t want to encounter all the search-engine noise out there surrounding the coronavirus.
BUT, it should be completely eradicated down there once Memorial Day weekend passes. The 'Florida Sweatbox Cure'.
Should have killed it last week if it is going to. It was humid enough to cause widespread fog.
YepSorry

SXSW 2020 canceled due to coronavirus
The city of Austin made the call to cancel SXSW 2020.www.theverge.com
I'm still going next year, but this is a massive blow for Austin's economy. I've been planning this trip since last summer, and having it all go down the drain a week before really sucks. The virus definitely would've spread into the city if the festival wasn't cancelled, so it's a good preventive measure at least.This is a big one:
This probably going to force the cruse lines to actively start cancelling cruises, which will have ripple effects in Florida and tourism also.

Between Coronavirus and the massive drop in oil tonight, this is going to be a very interesting time for the economy.
The main difference is the incubation period and length of travel.
You could catch the virus, get on a plane and not pass it on to anybody else before departing the plane. On a cruise, you could feel fine boarding and not become symptomatic until a few days into the cruise.
I don't know how quickly it spreads but maybe it's something to do with being on a plane a few hours vs being on a cruise for a week or whatever. Plenty of time for it to spread around in confined area there.
Geeez, I hadn’t even paid attention to what the news said about incubation period, so I went and looked it up and it is still a bit of an unknown. 1-5-14-24 days incubation are the potentials with 5 being the most common. Perhaps it is faster the poorer ones health?
If you have the coronavirus, how long before symptoms show up?
When would you know you have the virus?
It is unnerving to think one could be running around for 2 weeks thinking that all is good when it is not...
To me, kids are the scariest thing about it. They can show almost no symptoms. They might not know they have and go about spreading it while touching and licking everything.
Seems like most cases in US originated from cruise ship passengers, somewhere down the line. Makes sense to completely shut them down , which may well be the next step.
