Covid19 is surging. I can't imagine anyone running or planning a live event in this pandemic. Holiday gatherings are being cancelled. Santa is behind plexiglass.
And yet, JM is planning Evil Expo 2, to be live in Feb (for his birthday, of course).
As of today, Dec 7th 2020, there are 3,563 new Covid19 cases in the state of NJ. There have been 373,000 reported cases and 17,336 reported deaths.
Personally, I have never been to a convention without getting some version of ConFunk. In my non-medical opinion, planning a live event is putting lives at risk. And if this event gets cancelled due to Covid19 and/or government shutdown of events, I highly doubt anyone (vendors or attendees) will see any sort of refund.
