[pct-l] PCTA is recommending folks postpone or cancel their thru hikes this year.

[Town Food]

No, the post on their site says the trail is open, and permits are still 
valid.  They just urge everyone to cancel, so as to avoid spreading the 
disease from town to town down the trail.  The issue is going from town 
to town, not hiking itself.

Maybe it would be a good time for yoyoing a small section, with no 
resupplies.  That would basically just amount to serious, hardcore 
social distancing.  Most people are supposed to keep 6 feet of distance 
from another person... a hiker can one-up that to 6 miles, no problem.
