Corona - be safe!
By Kristian from Speakers Loft • Issue #39 • View online
For those of you about to go traveling to speak, please be safe and refrain from taking any unnecessary chances.

Hi Speakers,
I genuinely hope that you and yours will be safe and get through this corona-situation with nothing more than a few canceled speaking opportunities to worry about.
It seemed a little crazy to write about silence as a negotiation tool this week, as other things are probably weighing more prevalently on the mind of readers anyway. So, instead, here are some resources that have valid information concerning the Corona outbreak.
David Heymann (who led the fight against SARS) explains what is happening, and what we do not know yet.

What happens if you get infected with the coronavirus? Who’s most at risk? How can you protect yourself? Public health expert David Heymann, who led the global response to the SARS outbreak in 2003, shares the latest findings about COVID-19 and what the future may hold.

If you need to travel to give a speak, learn more about the outbreak in the country you are going to here. 
The American Center for Disease Control in Atlanta is making information available for travelers here.
The WHO in Geneva can also be recommended, and they are here. I don’t think The WHO will win any awards for making the data easily available.
Situation reports – Situation reports provide the latest updates on the novel coronavirus outbreak. These include updated numbers of infected people and location, and actions that WHO and countries are taking to respond to the outbreak.

Remember to sneeze into your elbow, use hand sanitizers, and be careful with shaking hands.
I know you are probably tired of hearing about Covid-19. But as speakers, we need to be extra careful. We are around a lot of people at times.
If I have missed any essential resource, please let me know, and I’ll include it when possible.
I’m sure you will be fine, but it doesn’t cost to think twice. Be careful.
Until next week,
Kristian
Did you enjoy this issue?
