Jackson Hole Cancelled because of virus.

[NEWDUCK]

Wish I would of not pre-paid for my room... Whats everyone else's thoughts on this? I think its getting blown way out of proportion. I feel like I have more of chance of death traveling up there than from getting the virus. If people are still going to show up because like me they cant get a refund is there still not the same risk?

Everyone would do well to listen to/watch this podcast. And pass it to all your friends and family.

I learned my lesson a few years back when they canceled for wet slide avalanche concern. Luckily my room then only had a 48hr cancellation policy so it wasn't a big deal for me. Others were in the same boat as you though. I'm guessing the population of Jackson has a fair amount of older well-to-do people that don't want to be sick.

It looks as though limiting exposure is on everybody's mind and who knows, maybe that will turn out to be a good thing, but I am more than a wee-bit annoyed that I was told the 4-night reservation I had is going to be non-refundable even though I did not cancel on my own. It was caused by the city of Jackson revoking permits and is beyond my control. Can I send my hotel bill ~$800.00 to the city for a refund????

I would at least call the hotel AND the city and ask them. Can't hurt. It's not like you could have known.

Or just go see yellowstone and some bison if you can't get a satisfactory response. Might have the place to yourself for once.

Maybe everyone else with non-refundable arrangements will go to Togwotee and ride the same tracked-out meadows, and it'll be even more crowded than usual?

I don't think anyone really knows how this will effect us as a country. But as of today they have a method that will cure this virus so that is good news.

Already called the hotel, they said positively no refund per their 2-week cancellation policy regardless of the reason for cancellation. Had I known the thought of revoking permits was present in anybody's mind I would have cancelled 1 week ago per policy. I don't go to Jackson for the fine dining, great scenery, romantic weekend, I only go to see if Keith Curtis and his stable of Polaris sleds can kick everyone's azz one more time. I can get enough of the above aforementioned in my own home town for $800.00 less.

Care to share what the curing method is and the source for that? If we can cure virus', that's quite the medical break through...

It was just on Fox News about an hour ago. There using a plasma treatment it's also being used in South Korea kind of makes me mad we don't here more on this as well.

It is something in testing showing excellent results, but it's by no means ready for mass distribution or application. Plus the scale of carrying out plasma treatments/exchanges on a worldwide total population basis is beyond staggering. Who pays for that? Even if it comes to fruition, expect a similar time line to the vaccine or longer. In excess of a year would be my guess, which means it's still coming and it's like stopping the wind, no matter how you restrict travel or human interaction.

This technology has been around for a long time according to my research this method worked on sars and Ebola also. H1n1 was also a bad one there have been many if you research history in the last 100 years I'm sure we're capable of handling this one as well.

 

[BirdmanID]

That doesn't mean it applies to this virus, nor that the approval process is any shorter to get it to a distribution point.

For the ones that cannot get a refund call out the motel that is stiffing you. Just to think that this is just the beginning of the fiasco.

 

[powdrdaz]

As anyone tried calling there credit card company?
Just a thought

No , don't go to Yellowstone, you might catch brucellosis from petting a bison....

The issue with the virus isnt that its going to kill you. The issue is the fact that the medical community cannot handle the influx of another virus, and people with the virus and people with other issues will go untreated.

False, they cannot handle the influx of THIS virus. Look at Italy and what’s happening in their hospitals.

 

[Mjunkie]

I thought the biggest deal with the virus is how it is so easily spread. Sure it doesn’t have a high mortality rate but if everyone gets it, even a low mortality rate will kill a LOT of people.

Don’t get me wrong though, the biggest problem with it is the fear and panic behind it. Fear and panic is really bad when people are stupid.

No worries, we finally found toilet paper. I am only going to use one sheet to clean my thumbnail until the panic goes away.
