I have been focused on other issues like trying to work out how we can make face shields and masks for the hospitals etc. that are running out.
If anyone has a 3D printer or can sew, there is going to be need very soon.

Phillip,
Unless I've gotten confused in the onslaught of news, British
Columbia banned all large meetings (or, more specifically,
gatherings of more than 50 people) about four days ago, so with
regard to holding the meeting f2f (or the opening reception),
the closure of the border is, depending your point of view,
either irrelevant or icing on the cake.
Obviously the decision to cancel the f2f meeting and when it was
made was wise and saved us a much more disruptive situation this
week.
