There should be no such conference at such a critical moment. It was really bad to hear the news, hopefully everyone will get well again with proper treatment.
And please tell everyone "stay home stay safe". Save yourself and your community.

This is the height of carelessness, both the invitee and the invited... This is not a period to gather for functions, meetings or party. What needed to be discussed there that can't be postponed till when the crises is over. Anyway, the deed is done, those with symptoms should self isolate, test and try possible treatments. BTW, I hope this will not be a problem with ethereum market..

This is very irresponsible of the conference organizers and the Parisian Ethereum community. It might have been ok to give them excuse if the conference was on January or February. However, on March, it is a certainty that all conferences and mass gatherings should be declared dangerous.
Users are reporting that they are testing positive for COVID-19 after attending the Ethereum Community Conference. The conference, held in Paris between March 3 through March 5, had a sizable crowd in attendance. Those with symptoms are advised to self-isolate and get themselves tested.

Oh my goodness!!!! How could they have gathered for such a conference? Probably many positive cases have not been reported in France then. We just have to wish them a very quick recovery.

This is negligence by the organizers. They should've postponed the event prior to the pandemic awareness of the world. It's a global crisis and yet they'd pursued the conference? Who will be blamed if these victims will be added to the mortality rate of this virus?
They can even create an alternative like an online conference which can be attended by those participants. A very bad decision in crisis times like this.

It's hard to blame the organizers, I think it should be the government that will give warning to the people, of implement a law to lock down a place and suspend any forum like this. We will blame the organizers but surely, the organizers will blame the government here.

Also, yes, the vaccine is a treatment to make the body immune from certain diseases, however, it is not a treatment if someone already is suffering from the disease.
So why they are still calling it vaccine if its not a treatment as many people already been suffering from the disease? Anything that can reduce, or prevent suffering from a disease could be labeled as treatment hence the definition will be invalidated. Check news, tell me what the is term used that are now been cooking on so many labs. If its not for treatment then what should it be called? I might be wrong because the authorities decided to do a field testing on Chinese patients
Youre definitely wrong. As there are clear fact on that one every details I send you.however, I am not wrong that pharmaceutical companies have in the past tested experimental drugs and vaccines on 3rd world countries before released as safe on 1st world countries.
Of course I know this occured in the past. What Ive backed up is the current article I send you which is what Im talking about and they did test it not on guinea pigs but members of the 1st world countries. Anyway Im out here.Keepsafe everyone.

The organizers do not have an excuse, however. I reckon, before March, other organizers have begun postponing or cancelling their own cryptocoin conferences. This one continued. It was irresponisble.
I'm just curious, if they will be blame for this, are they going to be charge for their negligence? Is there a specific law on that?
What I explain is that, the government should not only issue a warning, they should issue a directives and anyone who caught violating it, should be punish.

why These organizers are too careless?they even aware of the spread of this Virus yet they carelessly conduct a conference without any preventive measures?
These People must provide for the expenses of the participants of the event that being infected.
also this is the problem in europe and US they did not take the case too serious until the Virus become Pandemic.

That was a risky activity, nowadays the country who has corona disease should isolate themselves in the house.
Gathering in one place with crowd will make the disease spreading faster.
The organizers should postpone the conference and search for other time.
not only those who has corona but also those country that has no case must do actions before its too late,the virus can stand 14 days without side effects so who knows that their people is not infected? Gathering in one place with crowd will make the disease spreading faster.
The organizers should postpone the conference and search for other time.

Based from what I have observed in several countries the problem I see here is if the Nation's government hasn't acted out in response to the pandemic for some businesses and organizations they will still try to run their operations normally and call is "business as usual", hate to see these kinds of events and businesses only seeing profit rather than looking out the well-being of their employees as well as there event goers. France only commenced there national lockdown during March 17 so a lot of businesses and events still push through even though they know the danger they have in their country. However we can't really blame this event in particular for them being infected, France already have a lot of confirmed cases even on the first month of 2020 so we cannot really say that this event is the origin of the infection, it's even possible that they are already silent carriers of the virus even before the event started.

this is their own doing they know that the spread of this virus is very contagious, but still conduct the conference.
they should be aware and cancel or at least delay until the plague subsides.
I do not know even the people who play a role in ETH are very selfish and not concerned with their safety.
I don't know if this meeting meant so much to them that they sacrificed their safety.

This is not good at all and why would they take such risk? Conferences can be canceled and schedule another time and the intended result would still be achieved, but now the reverse is the case. This virus of a thing is breaking up many things in this world, businesses are struggling, various markets are struggling, meetings are banned, borders are closed and many more, thus we can only but pray for a quick cure. And also let's try and stick to the measures set in place by the government and health officials as they are for our own good.
March 23, 2020, 07:27:23 PM
You might not have understood the situation that has been occuring for a long time, I reckon hehehe.
Authorities looking for preventive action rushing any possible help to fight with this virus. Yeah its not a cure and its a prevention, I am well aware of the protocol prior to testing vaccines. Perhaps you should read if they werent tested it out or not yet. Also, vaccination is not treatment. Vaccination is prevention by injecting a dormant virus into a healthy body.
will need testing on the people of 3rd world countries before the companies that created them sell their new vaccine on 1st world countries hehehe.
Its you who said that but from my knowledge I dont think China included on the 3rd world countries. But indeed they tested already it as the article quoted above explained. The only thing were waiting here is the approval of WHO for that drug, but worse comes to worse would you wait that long if its you who are on those patient situation until WHO approves it? Anyway we have different choice and opinion. I would argue that we have not yet seen the side effects. They might begin appearing within months or longer. In any case, I will post a news update when people begin complaining.
Also, yes, the vaccine is a treatment to make the body immune from certain diseases, however, it is not a treatment if someone already is suffering from the disease.
I might be wrong because the authorities decided to do a field testing on Chinese patients, however, I am not wrong that pharmaceutical companies have in the past tested experimental drugs and vaccines on 3rd world countries before released as safe on 1st world countries.

Why do the users want to attend the conference? Don't they know it is dangerous to travel or gather with many random people? Indeed Parisian Ethereum community and conference organizers did a mistake by providing it at the wrong time. But we don't blame them only, but the users also did the wrong decision by coming to the conference.
yes, they must postpone this, because this virus has the status of danger and transmission can be very fast .. very unfortunate those who make this conference cannot delay the meeting's delay.
the case in Korea states that an elderly woman who caused 80% of all crown cases came from her, so the team should know the danger of transmitting the virus.
March 23, 2020, 05:26:37 AM
Too bad, it's a pity to those who contacted the virus already,vbut why would any organizations fix such events know well about the virus and how it spreads,I think from now hence forth all events that attracts crowd should be laid off so as not to to spread the virus because you do not know who have it and might be at the event center. Let's stay safe.

I'm not sure they are infected with the C virus, for now they are still active in answering every question on Twitter, I think it's a hoax.Cannot be held responsible for the news, but some other official information is needed if it is true that the Ethereum Community is positively infected.
But I have not been able to find new information about them whether positively infected with corona or not.

However, do you want the untested vaccine experimented first on your family or community as the test guinea pigs? I reckon Japan should test their new vaccine on their own citizens before declaring them safe from damaging side effects.
Imagine if your family is on a stage where the sickness due to covid is dangerous already and he/she are running out of time? As a family member that have a mind to only save your love ones, wouldnt you agree? If some authority and sector says its already proven effective. Not that its only dangerous but in a matter of life and death, the best move is to do anything to make them safe by trying the best thing we can do. I get your point but it will depend on the situation. If its you. I know you cant tell also if the one on the blink of death is your family. You might not have understood the situation that has been occuring for a long time, I reckon hehehe.
Also, vaccination is not treatment. Vaccination is prevention by injecting a dormant virus into a healthy body. However, the coronavirus is a new strain. The release of this dormant new virus strain to inject on healthy human bodies will need testing on the people of 3rd world countries before the companies that created them sell their new vaccine on 1st world countries hehehe.
