Well if we take down or close them then people are less likely to see them, therefore starting another thread.

Well for Corona, remember how on that huge thread, there was misinformation shared? I think that is a reason to keep them open, for people to help inform others on the situation, and alert them if they are reading fake news

Dear @DanMantz
In case the US government will not accept travelers from Asian countries due to coronavirus,
will REC Foundation refund the WC registration fee?
We are worried about participating because there is a very risk without a refund. But the registration deadline is only in a few days.
Please reply to us as soon as possible.
This got brought up while my group of friends was jokin-- talking about the Corona Virus: won’t Chinese teams have a hard time participating at Worlds?
Or maybe some teams will just be missing a few member, i dunno, what do you guys think?
While we anxiously await the finalists list for the online challenges, what do y’all think REC’s decision will be about Chinese teams at Worlds? The CREATE team made a statement. When do you think the REC will make their statement?
Will worlds be canceled or moved to a later date?
Hello all. Obviously there has been a lot of discussion about worlds and the coronavirus, as well as the public safety issues associated with it.
Today, the Victorian Government (where our team is from) placed a ban on international travel for schools, specifically to competitions and events. The Western Australian government placed a similar ban a few days ago, and its expected that other states will follow.
Numerous countries, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, Italy and many more will probably…
Since a lot of teams can’t come to worlds and teams can’t travel… are they going to cancel worlds or possibly post pone the date or something?
Hey guys, what are the chances worlds gets cancelled by the coronavirus or at least postponed. What will be the ramifications? How will they release the next game and what will happen to the teams that did qualify for worlds? What are peoples plans till then?
I understand that the coronavirus is a very infectious virus and there is a high risk of people being infected by travelling and many teams might not be able to go to worlds due to school and family restrictions. Lastly, I wonder what appr…
Has anybody heard anything about WORLDS being changed or canceled because of the corona virus?
If your team is unable to attend worlds due to coronavirus/travel ban/school not allowing travel or anything else, please put your team number below. Best of luck to everyone who can attend!
Hi! This is just out of curiosity, and not to make a big deal out of anything, but will vex worlds actually have to be postponed? Due to the coronavirus outbreak in different countries (China, Italy, etc.), it is becoming harder to travel to different places (especially the USA). I don’t want to suspect the worse, and maybe the virus will clear up in time for Worlds, but there’s a chance that it will happen. Sorry if I’m exaggerating anything, just posing a burning question.
Just wondering if china teams can make it to worlds due to their coronavirus and all of that stuff.
With all the Coronavirus hysteria around the world and so many competitors coming from all over, is VEX Worlds 2020 even going to happen this year? I seriously do not see it dying out before Worlds is scheduled to begin.
So, I know that there have been many threads on this such as the very popular:
In this thread @Dan Mantz says
"We anticipate moving forward with a decision and contingency plans no later than the second week of March. "
I was wondering if anyone knew of any announcement of this sort that came out recently, or if anyone knows where this sort of announcement would be when it comes out.
Thanks, grape

@DRow can we please close this thread for these reasons?
Sylvie:
Either, the thread is a duplicate of something that already exists, or people are getting too toxic and moderators need to calm it down. Also, everyone is sick and tired about hearing about coronavirus, so I’m not surprised at the harshness of reactions to those threads.
