If you are immuno-compromised or living with someone who is, shouldn't you not be travelling thousands of miles to a large, packed conference anyway? Since masks are not 100% effective.

To each their own, but I personally will not be attending PyCon next year because it was exhausting to wear a mask for 5 days straight.

So let's exclude those people from society, that's what you are saying. It's not just traveling thousands of miles, it's boarding a bus or entering any indoor space with unmasked people. And yes, that exclusion is the reality most of us face.

This has echoes of how people with AIDS were considered back then.

But even with a mask mandate, a large conference is probably not an acceptable risk for someone in that position. Masks help, but they aren’t a complete solution, especially when folks remove them to eat and take photos.

As someone who’s disabled, yes I have accept people can’t always accommodate me.
