No Pax East this year

Not a giant surprise, but the announcement came today.

You may recall how last year's show went on, but without Sony, which pulled out because of coronavirus concerns (at a time when Boston was still just reporting one case).

Wow, reading the comments on that post from last year is unnerving. Lots of comparisons to the flu and H1N1, lots about "over reaction". We really didn't know yet.

There's a lot of crow to be

There's a lot of crow to be eaten in that post from February 2020, especially considering it happened at the same time as the Biogen superspreader event in Boston.

that's right

And, look how it played out here vs. Japan since.

One thing after another gets canceled while we're promised that we're just a few weeks away from beating this thing

Who promised that?

The original lockdowns were to flatten the curve but the Trump admin handled it so badly. Don’t act like we have been strung along - the clowns in charge screwed it up. Why do we have a bad third wave and now a new surge? People are big stupid babies and insisted on going to Thanksgiving, going to a Florida.

I haven’t been 8nsixe my parents house in over a year and they haven’t hugged their grandchildren in that same time because some cry babies won’t wear masks and other shitbag states like Florida won’t shut down.

We will have wave after wave until September at least, welcome to the world you wanted, you selfish hateful science deniers.
