[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8913578, member: 177"] Our local sci-fi con, much smaller than GenCon, was just a couple of weeks ago. They required vaccination, covalent booster, and had a masking requirement enforced as best they can among so many people. And still, and the reports of cases among staff, and attendees on social media shortly thereafter reached into the dozens. Not scientific reporting, but... sheesh, yeah. I've had a number of friends that have decided to go back on cruises for vacations. And for every one, someone in the party caught covid on the boat. Cruise ships are not all that much different from a convention. So, yeah, be prepared to get sick. A mask-only game, in an environment otherwise filled with unmasked people, is kind of like having a swimming pool, and folks are allowed to relieve themselves at one end, and you get to stand at the other.
