so as always ACM/IEEE apparently don't think they have the resources (despite charging you $1000) to offer a safe conference experience, but they apparently do have the resources to hire lawyers to draft up a document saying attending is a death wish and your heirs and next of kin are just gonna have to move on with their lives.

This is actually why I didn't go last year, but unfortunately it's hard to keep doing my current job without attending eventually.

@deater78

I don't like that, but I am honestly curious about what actions they are refusing to take, which if taken would provide the desired "safe conference experience"? Do other conference organizers take those actions?

I'm not trying to argue that ACM & IEEE shouldn't be better than other conference organizers; I'm just trying to.undsrstand what concrete measures should be taken..

@brouhaha @deater78 UV-C, HEPA, CO2 monitors, ventilation, free masks, mask policy, and oh, how about having the guts to at least admit that COVID is one of those pesky "communicable diseases" their laywers are referring to?
