I'm curious...I pray every night that the con is not cancelled, so I'm willing to wait up until the very last minute for a decision to be made.For those wanting Sdcc to make the decision to cancel now, why not just go ahead and request a refund. Or are you hoping that a cancellation means you automatically qualify for the next con without having to go thru registration.
ABut assume they are better and the con goes on. You could camp out all night for Hall H and end up with great seats. And then someone sits next to you and they have a consistent cough. What do you do?
For better or worse it feels as if social norms may change after this.
I sincerely hope that social norms change as people tend to drag everyone into their colds with them. In particular at work where people don't want to use their "vacation time" when they get sick.
You should use sick time, but there are situations where that can be a tough call. I got sick shortly after starting my new job 10 years ago. I didn't want to call in sick, because I just started, and I know that can leave a bad impression. My symptoms weren't visible (not coughing or sneezing, but feverish). Since it was a Friday, I went in to work. I figured I could work one day, and take the weekend to recover. It was a judgement call, but it worked out for me and there was no noticeable uptick in others in the office getting sick.
I voted no.... have a family member going thru chemo treatment.... I just can't take the chance.
I would be happy if SDCC just canceled and applied our badges to SDCC 2021. That seems to be a win-win and the best solution. Also offer refunds for those needing the money right now or cannot attend in 2021. The registration process is stressful enough. July 2021 is far enough off where we should be in good shape.
Just not worth the risk. The crowded Florida beaches is an example of the mindset of those who still want to go in July.
No, it's not. People at crowded FL beaches NOW are doing so in the midst of a pandemic NOW.We have literally zero clue what things will be like in slightly less than 4 months from now. Could be fine. Could be just as bad. Who knows?! As things stand now, on March 25th, I voted for "I'd Go" (or whatever: don't know explicit options on this screen) because I'm being optimistic on where this situation is. Monitoring what our mayor is doing, and what our governor is doing, I'm feeling OK about where things _might_ be in 4 months. I said it somewhere else, I think in 4 months if things are clear COVID-19-wise, I'm gonna want a release: I'm gonna want to celebrate getting through this thing. And there is no party like Comic-Con party when it comes to celebrating almost everything I love: friends, family, pop arts (and sometimes when I'm lucky, music).
