Thank you for reporting on this very important issue. Many folks in the demographics who attended this Word Press Camp were at higher risk for more serious disease. They were probably from areas with little COVID and didn’t understand how much more COVID NYC has. If they weren’t wearing masks here, they probably weren’t when eating and drinking in crowded NYC establishments, an obvious way to get infected. Some of us are living with cancer and other conditions causing us to be immuno-compromised. Maybe in the future we could have a separate section for those wearing masks and practicing social distancing. Also, maybe we could add $10 to the price each day, buy large amounts of quality rapid tests, and test in a socially distanced space outside the venue (even if it just a hallway with chairs 6’ apart). Lastly, for folks that test positive maybe there could be a room where folks must be masked and socially distanced where they could watch a livestream (and sign a form promising not to hold WordCamp responsible for anything. Thank you Hosts for all your hard work. ❤️
