Here's the list of Emerald City's cancellations so far.

That’s quite the list... Sure suks for those of you in the Pacific Northwest. I know how disappointing to wait all year long for a con and have this happen. I’m pretty sure I would have to pass on this one too.

But there is always the CGC Boards. Got a full box of GA/SA fun today...

Sure not as fun but it scratches the itch a bit.

I doubt it would be a problem now. Took a friend to LAX yesterday. NO lines or crowds. Real unusual. He later told me the plane was less than half full.

Smart move. I wish them luck in scheduling guests who aren't already booked at other shows.

  that's no small mistake and you may be right.  I can't really imagine any kind of comic show in China mainland, open to people in costumes from all over the world

Interesting. Could no spring shows may mean higher prices on books in auctions then as buyers will focus their $$$ there? 

[Krismusic]

I wonder if Toronto comicon will suffer the same fate as I just read that the one person returning from Iran to Toronto took the TTC (bus) for 3 days while infected...

extreme no but 25% for some west jet flights is what I've seen here.

I heard at the Wuhan WonderCon show, attendees are receiving free hazmat suits, gloves and masks (just need to bring your own toilet paper)

Not bad.  I wish I could swing a March Break trip this year with the family.  It's a busy time of year for me at work (even more so now with the virus outbreak).  Hopefully, I see some more ticket sales for April/May time frame.

I prefer to keep my travel to a minimum but not like I had anything planned this year anyways

I hope they don't cancel Wonder con on April here in LA 4th that would be a bummer
