Is anyone else worried they will postpone the ceremonies due to the Coronavirus? It's a lot of people in one place over 2 days from all nationalities. It only just occurred to me that we are a lot of people + guests.
Perhaps I am overthinking, happy to be reassured!!
A the end of this week they will notice about it.
It is better them to provide masks to all Candidates in Killarney (it is about 12000 items) rather than to cancel so huge Event for 2 days!!!!!
Hope, they will read my advice!!!!
P.S. Rugby match- Ireland-Italy is canceled already, which is on 7th of March.
No need to be cancelled as no report of even a single coronavirus inside Ireland..
they cancelled that match bcz of Italy's fans come to Ireland (im not sure if they play in Ireland or italy) if played in italy bcz of the saftey of irish fans and players to travel to italy!
so there is no reason for cancellation
I would agree with you.
I am already bought ticket for train to Killarney. On 2nd of March.
So...
Hope no surprise before that date!!!
Fingers crossed!
I think it's already too much of a short notice. Even though there's one or another confirmed case until Monday, they'll be monitoring it closely and individually as it has to be.
People are panicking way too much about it even in the affected areas with outbreaks. The mortality rate of this virus is way lower than h1n1 which is still alive and kicking and nobody cares about it.
Not only me but most of the people will go to Killarney a day before, so there's hotel fees involved, travel costs which cannot be refunded and it'd be chaos too.
Unless there's an OUTBREAK until the ceremony day, I don't believe it'll be cancelled. Italy's population is around 60 million people. There's 320 confirmed cases.
It just doesn't make sense to me from a infectologist point of view to cancel the ceremony because of covid-19 unless there's an OUTBREAK in Ireland until the ceremony's day.
