The Coronavirus is a developing pandemic that already is and will continue to cause immense suffering around the world. The spread of a disease like this needs to be slowed in order to prevent health care systems from being overwhelmed. One way to do just that is through avoiding large gatherings of people. The Boston Flower and Garden show is an event happening from March 11th to March 15th. 20,000 to 50,000 people are expected to attend. Such a large event at this time is irresponsible and could result in a new cluster of infections in the Boston area. With the presumptive case count in the state nearing 100, proactive action needs to be taken in order to slow the spread of this deadly disease. One only has to look to other nations to see how widely this virus will spread if action is not taken to slow it. The state, the city of Boston, and the organizers of the event need to get out in front of this issue and cancel this reckless gathering of people.
