This might be odd to ask on here, but the Bay Area and Los Angeles just declared a state of emergency over it and the tour has shows near there. I know that we shouldn't let fear cancel everything (and CW probably won't cancel anything) and that the disease might die down by then, but I just could help but wonder if CW and their crew are worried.

You know I was just wondering the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if they shut the M+Gs down to protect the cast and crew a bit. If it gets bad enough, who knows.

All my travel dates for the rest of the tour are up in the air. My work has already put a travel freeze in effect.

 :( Sad to be the bearer of possible bad news, but-

4 weeks or so ago, I arranged a trip to Boston & Philadelphia to look at miniature books at a bookstore in Boston and to hear (and tour) the mighty organ in Macy's, Philadelphia. 3 flights - Buffalo-Boston, Boston-Philly and Philly to Buffalo. 2 hotels, 2 car rentals and two CW concerts Worcester & Philly. Virtually all the tour with non-refundable prices, although from what I am hearing even if I had insurance, it wouldn't cover the cancellations!

How things have changed in 4 weeks! Anyway after talking to my Doc and local health department, both advise me not to go! Unfortunately, I am in the 15% bracket (over the 80%) and the odds go up significantly of severe problems or worse. Had I been under 50 say, I would probably have made the trip (taking all precautions). Had there been a test to see if you had already had COVID-19 (and developed antibodies - I had relatively mild symptoms after being in and around Wuhan last October 20th) I might have made the trip, but there isn't one yet. So the trip is cancelled.

I don't know if concerts will be cancelled but I suspect so. If States put limits on the number of people who can be together at one time (as I believe has just happened), that may force cancellations.

Anyway stay safe out there and wash wash wash.

Sorry to hear about you not going to your shows because of the coronavirus You know they have been  vaccinating cows, Horses and pigs for years for the coronavirus so  why can't they make them for humans. My daughter works for a hospital and she says they are not worried about this Virus as it's only another flu like virus thats getting alot of news coverage and alot of hype. but i guess only time will tell. Hope your able to get refunds keep trying

The problem isn't the current level of impact to an individual that gets the virus. Mortality rate is pretty low, relatively speaking. The problem is that it will make people sick and transmit more effectively than the flu (since people can be carriers for up to 14 days without showing symptoms) and have a cascade effect on medical and economic systems.

Some estimates are putting the number of affected people (due to exponential exposure rates) at 150 million Americans and 400+ million people worldwide. Even if the mortality rate is low, that's a LOT of sick and terrified people.

A virus doesn't have to be deadly to be disastrous.

The governor of Maryland issued the order so the venue is postponing this one and one other show for now. The email says they will see if they can reschedule and will let us know in the next 2 weeks if it will be possible.

GlenS- It is the venue. It was because of the order by the governor of New York.

I'm trying to keep the calendar updated with postponed shows I hear about.

I'm putting an X next to the actual event in the calendar and marking the topics in the calendar board as postponed.

Please keep posting them here when you hear about them.

Thanks.

As of right now, the state of Ohio has declared no groups of 100 or more people. With that being said, Dayton Arts Association has basically cancelled their shows and said that they will let us know if/when it will be rescheduled.
