SUBJ: CDC WARNING on Corona Virus (COVID19)
The subject warning has been released to the media and public - a community outbreak here in the US, is only a matter when not if, so be prepared... significant disruptions can be expected

I recommend cancelling public events voluntarily ( self-quarantine), or else face a rapidly increasing risk that this disease will force us to, while attracting media attention which could be highly negative and threaten our existence as a community organization - for having ignored this warning and not acted responsibly and proactively to protect our members and organization. The consequences of a community outbreak happening as a result of one of our events would be overwhelming and could destroy our club. The news media has provided many real life examples, worldwide for us to learn from.
The State has already admitted they have no test kits for COVID 19 and have to send test samples all the way to Georgia with a delay of 1 week or more for the results. There's no community testing possible to identify infected persons faster and take more proactive action. And even then, the test results could still be false negatives and require multiple retries to verify the test - more delays. In China they are going right to doing X-Rays of the patients with symptoms, because testing is too slow and unreliable.
The State has also admitted they can NOT do it all alone, and must rely on the public to act responsibly, stay informed and to cooperate and take action to both prepare and to take preventative and protective measures in a timely way. We have the freedom and responsibility of control over our own lives, and to help each other.
Right now time is on our side. That advantage is decreasing the longer we wait and do not take action and the threats and risks increase, each DAY - the new media has been reinforcing that, 24/7/365. Once we see real incidences of infected members or friends, it will be too late to act and more infections could happen with increasing disruption, and God forbid, the death of one or more members, because health facilities and services could be rapidly overwhelmed in a large outbreak. Outside forces will have to move in to take over control.
Taking quick voluntary preventative and protective actions sooner could result in fewer lasting and less serious impacts on our club and community, and could lead to an eventual return to normalcy and resumptions of our club activities with less damages and complications to have to correct or be burdened with - a happier and more secure future, as the result of being more proactive.
