Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to the
Publishing Perspectives site. It didn't take any digging at all to find a post about the London Book Fair.

According to Porter Anderson, the coronavirus (COVID-19) is behind the withdrawl of publishers Simon and Schuster and the Ingram Content Group from the London Book Fair. Aside from the possibility of contracting COVID-19, attendees have other worries. If an attendee is exposed to an infected person, there is the14 days of isolation either in London or upon returning to their home country. Also, if there are new travel restrictions, an attendee may not even be allowed to travel home. The Book Fair is scheduled for March 10 to 12.
Panzer says, "Hmm ... This virus thingy is starting to cause a lot of trouble for the publishing industry."
