This is not an announcement, just an FYI for those following this in detail.

Today the World Health Organisation declared a pandemic: https://www.who.int/dg/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---11-march-2020

If we had not already cancelled the in-person meeting I would now be recommending that we do so.
