Conferences take note: the pandemic is not over

Many people seem to be pretending that the pandemic is over. It isn’t. People are still getting Covid, becoming sick, and even in some cases becoming disabled. People’s plans are still being disrupted. Vulnerable people are still hiding.

Conference organisers: please make robust Covid policies, publish them early, and enforce them. And, clearly set expectations for your attendees.

Attendees: please don’t be the superspreader.
