You know, I don't think we'll have a feel for it for a couple more months. We'll know more as the planned date approaches.
I suppose it might make sense to bring Lysol and hand sanitizers. Maybe use Lysol from time to time to wipe down the surfaces of furniture and equipment that might have been touched.
Beyond the health concerns, I think a lot of the problems that organizations face is actually financial. Lots of events have been cancelled, but I think it is more because of financial fallout or potential risk of loss.
The structure of the Lone Star Audiofest makes it fairly invulnerable to things like this, at least from a financial perspective. We don't need to fill some percentage of rooms in order to "break-even" and we do not risk any loss. Everyone just agrees to meet at the same hotel and each is responsible for their own room cost. So we don't have the cancel the show for fear of not meeting a minimum sales amount and risking a loss.
This is the statement from Hilton corporate:
As it has always been, the safety and security of our guests and team members remains our highest priority. We take great pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. In response to the coronavirus, we have taken additional measures developed in consultation with global and local public health authorities (including the WHO and CDC) to make our cleaning and hygiene protocols even more rigorous:
• Our hotel teams are receiving ongoing briefings and enhanced operating protocols.
• We have increased the frequency of cleaning our public areas (including lobbies, elevators, door handles, public bathrooms, etc.) and have continued the use of hospital-grade disinfectant.
• We will continue to adjust food and beverage service in accordance with current food safety recommendations.
• We have increased the deployment of antibacterial hand sanitizers.
• We have activated our regional and global response teams to provide around-the-clock assistance to our hotels and are prepared to act swiftly should we be alerted to a case of coronavirus at one of our properties.
