WonderCon is happening in a month.. and a lot of folks have also made plans to go to Disney land. Are folks plans changing and/or evolving?Personally, I am a *lot* more concerned about a visit to DisneyLand then WonderCon.Since there doesn't seem to be any signs of relief on the virus impact with the cancellation of ReedPops ECCC and Austin's SXSW on Friday the 7th;What are folks looking at when deciding to go to Disney/WonderCon?What are factors that influence that decision?Any suggestions on what can be done to reduce the impact?

I already consider it inevitable that my entire family will catch the virus. As such, I'm not panicking about being in crowds or touching things. However, I am worried about the possibility of shutdowns and quarantine, so I am making plans in case that happens.
1) they stressed that is relatively MUCH easier to get the common cold or flu than coronavirus. One has to be in physical contact with fluid via coughing or sneezing to contract the coronavirus, where as there are other ways to get the common flu strains.
I don't know why you think this. The reason that it's more likely you will contract the cold or the flu is that they are more prevalent than covid. More people have it so it's more likely that you will run into it. Not because they are harder to contract. The way you describe contracting covid is the exact same way the cold or the flu are contracted. It's through micro droplets. Whether that's directly from someone sneezing on you or you touch a surface someone sneezed on. Which is the same for the cold and the flu. What other ways do you think you can get the flu?Covid is much more contagious than the flu. Look at the New York case for a concrete example. So far, the R0 for covid is at least as bad a the flu and most estimates have it being 2-3 times higher. So it's 2-3 times more contagious than the flu.
First, COVID-19 does not transmit as efficiently as influenza, from the data we have so far.With influenza, people who are infected but not yet sick are major drivers of transmission, which does not appear to be the case for COVID-19.Evidence from China is that only 1% of reported cases do not have symptoms, and most of those cases develop symptoms within 2 days.
