Too late to attend National?

I'm more worried about the smell of Weed.....it's nasty and legal in IL.

You have to go. Any hotel that you stay at you will be able to get to the show either by train or uber.

It's only too late if the show is already over...

Louisiana along with Missouri and Arkansas was added to the restrictions list if flying to Chicago. Other states might be added soon, Florida, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. The Delta strain reported surging in Southern Illinois.
If not fully vaccinated a rapid test 72 hours prior with negative results will be required to board--possibly more states will be added to the restriction list before the 28th!--wearing masks will be required on the plane and recommended during the show--

For added safety it should be required during the show

I hope attendee's who are vaccinated will have the choice instead of mandated to wear a mask.

[oldjudge]

And you know someone was vaccinated because they say they were? Some people who were stupid enough to not get vaccinated are also probably stupid enough to lie about it to avoid wearing a mask.

Even fully vaccinated people appear to be testing positive recently...

Kamala Harris' Communications Director and another flight crew member
5 of the Texas politicians who recently fled the state
Olympic Gymnast Kara Eaker
Olympic Basketballer Katie Lou Samuelson
Olympic Tennis star Coco Gauff
Leon County Commissioner Brian Welch, his wife and two kids
A number of passengers on a fully vaccinated cruise ship

...and a bunch of others that have not likely been publicized. Seems pretty risky to go ahead with the show, given the hoards of people that will be crammed in and densely concentrated within a single indoor venue.

It sounds like they'll go ahead with the show, but are they giving any thought to limiting the number of attendees inside the convention center to a certain number? I would certainly hope so.

[oldjudge]

Exactly Mark. Most of those people are asymptomatic and only know they have the virus because they are forced to be tested. Imaging how many vaccinated people will be at the show who have been vaccinated but are till carrying the virus, and can still pass the virus, but are showing no symptoms. That is why everyone should be forced to wear masks.

Most old codgers should be required to wear fresh depends daily.
