    Tbh I'm not really that concerned at all. Last week I went to a live music gig here in Cambridge UK probably was a few thousand in attendance. no restrictions in place. Im planning to go to LAC (and of course be sensible) but with the view of getting on with it.

    Interested to hear what others think though

    I would say I am concerned but still attending. Will obviously be very safe and careful. Crowded transport will not be fun.
    Coming from overseas don't want to get ill and will want to get home quickly if needed.

    At the end of the day we will need to live with it and move on.

    Good point re: travelling from overseas. Thinking about it from your point of view I would probably air a bit more caution/concern if I had to travel further ...mainly due to what you say about getting home quickly if needed.

    I am not concerned, which could partly be because there have not really been restrictions in the UK for a while now, so we are used to being around a lot of unmasked people? I will be there

    Re LAC: there's lots of the latest Omicron around in the UK at present, 1 in 16 people country-wide infected was the estimate last week. Everyone has their own view of what that means, so you take the chance or not depending on your attitude to that risk.

    Personally I'm attending with no concern as I've had the virus in the past fortnight, caught it at Cheltenham and now recovering. Double jabbed and boosted so whilst that may well have reduced the symptoms, it clearly didn't stop me catching it. Should hopefully be clear now until the evil son of Omicron rears its head in the autumn

    Not as much as I was, but still not going this year.... although that's largely due to the dates not working out more than anything else.

    I said I'm not concerned at all in the poll. Mostly, that is because I think that it is not very likely I will get it, or that it will be that big of a deal if I do since I've had two initial vaccine doses and a booster shot. Although with US entrance regulations the way they currently are, it would be a royal pain if I get even a very mild case. That's because I can't take my planned flight back to the US without taking a test within 24 hours of my return flight, and if that flight is positive, I can't fly back until I am able to test negative before a rescheduled return flight.

    I may be concerned for a number of reasons .... catching the virus, wearing a mask for 7 hours on a flight or flying economy. lol

    We were in the US at christmas and caught covid and couldn't fly home and it was a pain in the butt!

    In your case, I would rent an hotel for another week in advance

    Its doesn't seem a big deal if you catch it, same as flu or anything else, but considering that you are going to meet 1000 people in few days, it's rather likely.

    The iGB was really good in London. However, the covid situation clearly was out of the window, shaking hands left right and centre, no hand gels, loads of alcohol! What can you do? Pandemic exists but certainly seems to be diminishing in validity in the UK.

    The above being said. Was a really nice environment with a ton of good people present, interesting conversations and just an all round good vibe. Whether this is a good year or bad year for us affiliates, it is always nice to congratulate others on their successes and listen to the speakers trying to up our games!
