Super surprised about this decision. I'm Asian American so my family was super sure I was going to get sick at a conference I had to fly to last week if I didn't wear a face mask. I didn't see any particular worry at the conference itself. Definitely more hand sanitizer than before but overall, no one wore any face masks besides a handful of Asian participants. Besides the media, I haven't seen much concern for the coronavirus besides practicing the same habits you always should during flu season.
Interesting. I go to school in a very foreign-rich asian community (I'm asian, but born in the US) and I feel like the coronavirus has gone out of control. Given there's only been 1 case in my area, I have no concern.
However, I could see why conferences where people from all over the world in one place could be a problem.
