Personally, I think that holding this meeting is a risky move – and I’m not sure it’s a responsible one.

Yes – it can be argued that the individuals who are travelling to the meeting are taking the risk knowingly and be it on their heads – the problem is – it goes far beyond those individuals.  Multiple multi-nationals are shutting down offices in various places, there are corporate travel bans going into effect (and the current statement says that if you register and want a refund, it has to be a government imposed travel ban)

Right now from my perspective – we’ve been lucky over here in Africa where it hasn’t arrived yet – but – if it does – there is no real infrastructure to deal with something like this – and it could be absolutely disastrous – and so – I certainly don’t want to be anywhere near anyone that has been in a large conference, with people all over the world, when the virus can be carried without any symptoms – transmitted – and you can be all the way back home again before you even know you have it.

So – I question if holding a meeting like this at this point in time – rather than using the technology we have available and going entirely remote – is really a responsible choice.

Andrew

Exactly. The point I am not seeing raised here is whether it is a good idea to hold an international meeting and potentially spread the virus further. This is not just about us.

This may not turn out to be a re-run of SARS. A large amount of the infrastructure that existed to deal with pandemics has been shuttered since. The way our political elites manage risk is to observe when disaster has been avoided and conclude that this shows the controls intended to mitigate those risks were unnecessary.

A question that we may well have to consider is the possibility that Madrid is cancelled by government fiat. We are currently in the complacency phase, what will follow if matters continue is panic.
