Les Orchard β @gregorlove.com Oof, yeah selection bias is a hell of a drug
Going to shows the past few years, it seems like nobody is masking anymore. But the reality is that Covid cautious people are being pushed out of these spaces. Thereβs a selection bias at crowded events.
Eric Eggert β @gregorlove.com @josh As someone who went from half a dozen speaking gigs around the world to none because of non-existing COVID precautions, I feel ya. It really feels like losing your community.
