If Gen Con is cancelled I hope there is an option for those of us who can handle the strain and want to to not take a refund OR get system credit
I don't know that I'd pick it as an option, but if the badge/ticket money goes away because of a cancellation, I could live with it, especially if it means that Gen Con 2021 is more secure.
Assuming that the Con moves forward, would any additional physical security precautions be taken? I've heard of some areas of China equipping door staff of crowded areas with thermal imaging hardware; it wouldn't help you find someone contagious but not symptomatic (I'm hearing a 48 hour window for that now), but it does allow the prompt detection and exclusion of people showing elevated temperatures. It's not firm evidence of COVID-19, but anyone trying to go into a crowd with a fever should be told to pound sand regardless of the cause.
