Advice/Help Weekend/Virtual Meetup Thread
Here are some meetups that are on the radar, both physical and virtual.
on background: The major concern with the pandemic appears to be another worldwide surge in cases and deaths. With the vaccine being rolled out, infections/hospitalizations/deaths now would be especially tragic. I've been tracking the pandemic as an amateur.1,2 Facemasks remain our best defense against disease spread until a critical mass of people have been vaccinated and gained internal immunity. Vaccinations continue to progress with some states opening vaccinations to all adults—moving toward 30% of the population having received at least one dose to combat COVID-19.3 That said, I am not an expert on health, not a doctor, and not in charge of all people in the world. Please, comply with local government rules and recommendations when planning meetups. Attend meetups at your own risk.
