WA state and local health officials on Wednesday released recommendations to help contain the impact of COVID-19. Among them is to postpone public gathering. In Downtown Seattle satellite we decided to support this effort and postpone our March session on gender diversity to our next monthly meetup on Thursday 9 April. We hope that life will return to normal and in the meantime keep washing hands and not touching face.
