NO is the Word of the Day. FUN Update

“NO is the word of the day. There will be NO spacing of tables. NO mandatory masks. No capacity limits on the floor. NO examination of vaccination records. The dealers at their table can make the rules they want to enforce for doing business at their table. To our attendees you are free to decide if you want to mask.
The final NO is from the Orange County Convention Center they have stated there are NO restrictions on entering the Convention Center.”
Seems the message from the convention hosts (as I interpret it) is that the virus is endemic and those who attend will need to accept this assumption or avoid the show.

I am looking forward to attending!

I hope everyone has a great show, stays safe, and enjoys Florida in January.
Me too. I'll be the guy with the mask on.
I'll be attending the show as well. At this point, 2 years in, I don't really have a problem with their position. We've all had ample time to learn how to operate in the time of Covid.
That's good news!
Stay safe and enjoy the show all. I believe I will attend my first FUN next year. If I plan properly it can be my first major function following my exit from 45+ years in the work world!

Based on the stated “No’s”, the apparent lack of any precautions doesn’t sound like everyone has used that ample time wisely.

But anyone named Covid will not be allowed to register
I believe the 1st 18 will be.
Yah. That’s the problem covid doesn’t need to register it just shows up. 🤨
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
I hope no one comes down with covid from the show but statistically it does not look good. Protect yourself so you can return here with a show report. Peace Roy

Does this give me a reason to go?
No.
Do I think it's a wise approach to take?
No.
If I were planning to go, would this policy make me feel that organizers give a damn about my well-being?
No.
Good luck everybody.
From the bourse contract:
"SPECIAL NOTICE: The Orange County Convention Center is a non-smoking building. This rule will be enforced."
So you're free to walk the bourse, even if you're unvaccinated and highly symptomatic, but you can't smoke. Like they say, truth is stranger than fiction.

It's Florida.
And NO from me, Florida.

Sorry, Andy, I'm totally disgusted by that statement. How many millions of people over the years have been killed by smoking? As someone who has had Covid, gotten my two shots, the booster, and even a flu shot, I have no problem being around the unvaccinated (if you can even tell who they are). On the other hand, as someone who is severely allergic to cigarette smoke and also don't want my lungs polluted, you can keep all the smokers at your house.

Covid cases in Florida are at their highest levels now for the entire pandemic. Friday, they had 31.683 new diagnosed cases of covid.
The good news is omicron infections in the UK have resulted in roughly half as many hospitalizations as the delta variant.

I got Covid and it sucks!
I was real sick for 10 days!
Be safe & don't get it.
Sorry to hear you got it but glad you got better!
Do you know how you got it?
Best of every thing to every one in what you do
Very glad to hear this. Look forward to the many show reports. Have FUN, be safe... Cheers, RickO
For those who are going to attend, I look forward to your show reports! Please be safe, everybody.

Reluctantly getting my Booster shot today. Don't know if it's too late to help but hopefully it won't hurt. Tried to get wifey on board last week but took the weekend to convince her. I think it's been around 5 years since I was able to get her to come with me to a show!
Is your wife also a coin collector?

Nah, she likes shiney rocks surrounded by gold. Sometimes those shows could get pricey if the right(wrong) jewelry dealer set up.
Interesting and good to know. As for me, I'll follow the normal precautions and pay attention to the case loads. It's not really a big deal to do that. Even if they had some restrictions/rules for entry, I'd still go. In the big picture, it's not that f****** hard.

Pre Covid, I went to Dalton and decided to fly.
Could have driven there faster with all the weather delays both ways.
NEVER again, I said...
I canceled my FUN trip this year.
Just too many risks beyond the travel.
Might look at Baltimore or summer FUN.
Dalton is a long haul but close enough to my wife's family to make it worthwhile .

They call the Governor . "Death Santis".
I have come to believe that the Universe has sent us Covid to throw a little more chlorine into the gene pool.
Then what would you call the governors of NY and NJ?
Uh oh, how much longer can this thread last...
Yes, I was outside talking to my neighbor. I don't know if it was transmitted by air we were only an arm length away or if she touched the hand rail and then I touched it. After about 10 minutes of talking she said "Oh, I think I may have Covid" I said "thanks for telling me, where's your mask" I think there is a real good chance if I had a mask on I would not have got it. Within 18 hours I knew I had it. I was the sickest I have ever been in my life. That's why I was absent from the forum for a couple weeks.
Wash your hands & wear a mask!
Edited to add: Four days before I got it I lost a long term friend to it, she had both shots but no booster. When I got it this was on my mind and my first thought was oh great I'm next.
In my house we call him “Bubba the Governor”
He really just wants to be President more than anything else
I’ll be at FUN, triple vaxxed and masked as I was at summer FUN
I didn't call any of them anything. I was retweeting from a FL friend who lost someone last week.

A state that has its act together. If you are worried about Corvid 19 then, Please wear a Mask. !! If you had Corvid, had your shots and want to be normal and not worried then wear a smile and enjoy the show....

What do you call Biden in your house?

Such poor choices our country has…….
Ashley's diary is a good read, especially the part about showers with Creepy Joe. Almost as informative as Hunter's laptop. True revelations!
I feel sorry for all the people who died from vaccine side-effects but hey, that's Darwinian evolution for you.
Well, I see everyone has returned from their Christmas break to help push this thread over the cliff.

NO is my word for going to certain states and Florida is at the top of the list.
