2020 CONDIN CANCELLED:
Dear fellow FOCs,
it is with utmost regret that I have to tell you that - after careful
consideration of all relevant aspects - I have come to the
conclusion that the CONDIN Fulda, scheduled for 8-10 may 2020, must
be cancelled.
the fore-going decision has been necessitated particularly by the
unprecedented and unforeseen proliferation of the Corona Covid 19
virus in the last couple of weeks. This epedmic virus must not be
taken lightly, especially in view of the fact that a considerable
number of members belong to the so-called high-risk groups (> 60,
deficient immune system, age-related health issues) which are
considered to be more vulnerable to the virus than the rest of the
population.
It should be noted that this is not an ordinary flu virus. It is a
new type of corona virus. There is no "herd immunity" in our
societies, which means a considerably inreased risk of contracting
the disease for everyone of us. In fact, it is assumed among experts
that between 50 and 70% of the total population will be infected by
the virus - one way or another, sooner or later. What's more, there
is no vaccination as of yet and none is expected to be available
until one or two years from now. A probable death toll of 0.4. to
0.7 % of the population on average - much higher among high-risk
groups - must not be ignored. Thus my decision.
No need to re-iterate the details that we are being provided by the
media on a continual basis. Authorities strongly recommend to keep
travelling to the least amount possible. Ignoring their advice equals
out to negligence. Also, being placed in quarantine in DL is not what
anybody would want nor do we want to put our family members' health
at risk.
I would like to have another go in 2022, always assuming that nobody
else has already made CONDIN plans for that year. If so, please let
me know.
Hope to meet you on the bands, 161, Holger, DK4LX
