So here’s why we held reception outdoors: this morning someone who was in attendance reported that their partner woke up today with Covid. They have now stayed home from conf today out of abundance of caution, but people were probably exposed or would have been indoors
We also have a mask policy for indoor conference spaces (it’s required) but compliance has been low so… this is why I haven’t been doing in-person conferences and will continue to abstain 😷😩#Petrocultures2024#CovidIsNotOver
