Not a surprise. I think the real test for cons in measuring how far along we are in recovery is going to be NYCC. It's not until October, but NYC has been one of the hardest hit by the pandemic. There might be enough time for recovery for it to still happen, but there might still be restrictions in place limiting it or preventing it from happening. And if it does happen, it will be interesting to see how attendance is, as it will be an indicator of the comfort level of the general populace for mass gatherings. I think the first year post-pandemic is going to be one of measuring risk/reward for a lot of people and finding a balance as we strive to return to a new sense of normalcy.

I doubt NYCC happens either, pretty sure the mayor already stated no big events the rest of this yearYou must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Smart move. Popular or not, common sense has to prevail or covid 19 numbers will keep growing.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

NYCC also is held at the javits center, which has been converted into a makeshift hospital. I also very much doubt it will still be heldComment

Yeah, that makes NYCC even less likely. Even if it is determined that we are over the peak, there will still be concerns about second waves, recovered people getting reinfected (which seems to be happening overseas), so I think we are a very long way from being back to normal, if we ever even will be.Comment

I think the reality is that everything for the better part of the rest of this year will be cancelled. these idiots already going back the beaches are going to be the start of wave 2 of the pandemic.Comment

I knew it was canceled back in Jan, they just waited till the last minute to make it official. Several people I know that set up every year got to talking and backed out when the virus was started canceled knowing this could happen. I really feel for San Diego, they really bank on SDCC to get them through the slow months, now everyday is slow to empty.Visit my wiki site:

They keep saying Megacon here in Orlando is still on for early June cause it was postponed from last week and they still keep adding guests! I don't see it happening though. The convention center where its located is a covid 19 drive up test site...
I only live about 5 miles from it and have gone every year but its no way I would go at that time...Comment

I have never been able to purchase tickets so no sweat off my back... ( he says in a bitter inner voice). Denver postponed theirs from July 4th weekend to the Thanksgiving weekend, we shall see. Our convention center has also been converted over for hospital beds, which have not been needed yet. My wife is holding her breath that the Supernatural Convention in August here in Denver still happens.Comment
