North American Fanfest 2023 - Egregious Mistakes and Suggestions for the Future

[GTK0HLK]

Covid did disappate.., it just still floating around in some people and randomly strikes..,

We can only do so much to prevent and hold people in their homes. unless you want to go the way of certain Asian countries..,

also to yodada..,
Not sure what you're specifically replying to, but that matter is irrelevant, since it's a given we do have a FFest..,

it's how we have to deal with it that is relevant to the topic.., not a matter of privilege.

I thought covid completely dissipated since the current thing, here we never hear about it anymore, nor do we have to wear masks, limit big gatherings or maintain any distance in any form xD

Sassy: It has not gone away, it never will, not for the next 100 years, not now, not ever. True, it has lost some of its virulence, but it is endemic and will be with us forever, like so many other incurable infectious diseases.

In the 7 days to 4pm Thursday 5 January:
-19,793 new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded: 9,170 rapid antigen tests (RATs) and 10,623 PCR tests
-77 lives lost

Like the flu, the common cold, we will have to live with it. Until we find a true antiviral, there will always be cases. We can take sensible precautions to limit infections...but dissipated?

No.

No.

The only reason for it not going away is because politicians don't want to give up the power COVID gave them

The reason that only 15k tickets were sold was likely due to SE only ever renting out a few ballrooms for NA's events. Every year they corral us into 3 rooms then surprise pikachu when 3 rooms isn't enough to fit everyone who wants to go next expac.

Absolute and total rubbish.

Like so many other viral diseases, we have no cure, no preventative, we can treat symptoms only. The disease itself is now endemic, which means it will always be present in the population. We wiil be seeing cases for the next 100 years or more.

COVID is one of a FAMILY of coronavirii, up to 45 separate species.

A greater injustice I have never beheld

[Bobby66]

I am personally annoyed because of scalpers I cannot buy all the tickets for my friends so we can go together.

I KNEW THEY WERE EVIL. beneath that fluffy exterior, those cute ears...they are the demons spawn...

Of course but thankfully it’s not something that can easily kill us anymore if we get it…right? ;___; I mean I did get three vaccines last year but by now the effect of them must be gone.
