- ghaff 6y agoEarly-ish February is not early March. The event I was at in the first week in March I literally did a flight change to go home rather than attend a next week event. That's a lot different from assuming there would have been a widespread shutdown in Feb.
- the-dude 6y agoOh, I don't disagree. But there was a world of difference in just about 3 weeks. Personally, I finished preparing and stockpiling around Feb 25th, and I know this of others as well.
- ghaff 6y agoAbsolutely. I admit I was in the "This seems a bit excessive crowd" when my next small-ish event was canceled in early March. And I vaguely thought of taking advantage of existing reservation to do some skiing and maybe run into some folks informally. By the time I got home, grocery stores were packed but in pre-shortage times. (Honestly, I'm pretty well-stocked at home even in normal circumstances anyway.) I already had everything at home from a work perspective as I'm normally remote. But a lot of people I know took months to repatriate their office stuff home.
