Will Coronavirus lead to the cancellation of Glastonbury?

[Kalopsia]

I travel to Canada this Sunday and then onto the States, I feel lucky the trump hasn't banned the UK yet but it has given me a sense of impending doom.

What this thread needs right now is a Simpsons meme...

Posted this last night but probably got missed... the virus is following a normal exponential curve  as you’d expect.. ours is fairly flat, cases have risen by approximately 50, then 60, the. 80 yesterday...

We will almost definitely hit 100+ new cases today, but not before the government move us into the delay stage.

It seems like this is what they were waiting for before doing so, 100 is a much more ‘headline grabbing number’ so they wanted to wait and be seen to be doing something at just the right time

To be fair it is taking place in the  1990’s.

What's next then?

Hmm...Greenpeace Glastonbury exhibition private view next week is cancelled: https://tinyurl.com/sc448zk

Yes, I know it's next week, rather than in June. Yes, I know it's indoors, rather than outdoors. Yes, I know it's maybe a hundred or so people congregating not that close to each other for just an evening – rather than 200,000 congregating very closely, eating, sleeping and partying together for up to a week. But still...

(Exhibition looks cool and worth a visit)

[BeddyDriver]

I’ve just heard a rumour from an inside source at a label that we are looking at a postponement til later in the year. No more detail as to when or how yet though :(

Has virus gone?

Thinking about it, The Simpsons may actually have an answer for this...

I’m afraid to leave, I have Stockholm Syndrome now.

 

Great (possible) news though, just what we needed!

Welcome back to panic central, everyone, AKA the corona thread. I hope we all enjoyed our vacation in the next announcement thread.

That was short-lived! Sounds imminent anyway, I guess they want to make sure you guys pay your balances (fine if you don't want to, though, no pressure...)

[Pinhead]

So moves to delay phase today after WHO officially labelling it and cases reaching 100.  We'll see what comes under the 'social distancing' measures to be announced today....

What other types are there?

Love that this thread the attitude is resigning oneself to the fact no announcement will happen vs the OTT excitement of the announcement thread 😄
