Are we still doing this, given the current virus situation?

For the time being, this event is set to happen. I have informed the OPF/Paizo that we will still hold the event, using CDC standards for sanitary practice. It IS more than 2 weeks away.
I will make an official determination on Monday, March 23 - and post it here, on Discord, and on all of the usual channels.
Until then, it's on!

I'm dropping from this event and strongly encourage all to consider carefully. We are in a crucial period where minimizing interactions and social groupings can have a significant effect on slowing the pandemic's exponential growth rate. Obviously, none of us can live in complete isolation, but temporarily letting go of optional social gatherings should - in my opinion - be one of the first things we should be doing.
Another option to consider: moving the whole event to a virtual tabletop like Roll20.

Sunday evening, the CDC recommended “that no mass gatherings with 50 people or more — including weddings, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events or conferences — be held in the United States for the next eight weeks” and that events only be “continued if they can be carried out with adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations, hand hygiene and social distancing.”
Today, the Georgia State Parks System contacted me confirming our facility reservations for Not-A-Con and with the following statement: “All DNR-managed Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites remain open. Safety is our utmost priority, so we want to assure you that facilities are being properly cleaned and restrooms are well stocked with soap. Our hiking trails, fishing docks, campsites, accommodations, golf courses and other amenities are available for those seeking quiet time in nature. Ranger programs are being evaluated to be consistent with public health recommendations.”
Currently, registration for this event stands at 35 people, which falls within recommended limits and within a space built to accommodate 100+ and with generous sanitary facilities.
So, as of today March 16, 2020, Not-A-Con is still ON.
Personal and community safety are paramount. If you feel that you are unable to follow the above guidelines, if you are in an at-risk group, that you might put others at risk, or wish to withdraw for any other reason – please do so!
Please PM me if you have questions or concerns – I will post updates to this event as the CDC continues to update recommendations.

As an individual at higher risk, I'm going to have to bow out.
