My issue is they have a more restrictive policy than last year at the height of the delta outbreak at least in Indianapolis. The con last year ran just fine and was not some super spreader event. The con also is not in a bubble and there are no mask or vaccine mandates in Indy, or the convention center. Even during the delta outbreak the city turned down bringing back the mask mandate. Whats the point of being more restrictive, when the minute attendees leave the building they are in an environment where there are no restrictions, and then go back in forth. Its seem pretty pointless when covid can be spread by vaccinated people and the studies are starting to show unless you have a N95 mask, you are probably not really protected sitting next to someone with covid for 3+ hours.
Again nothing happened after Gencon 2021 so why be more restrictive this year?. Yeah they can always change it but this weekend is the housing reg and people who are not vaxed have to decide if they are willing to gamble their money on it changing, because its not free to cancel your room.
