Re: [802SEC] F2F meeting safety



 

  Andrew,

 

  To quote your link:

 

"Townsend and his team analyzed known reinfection and immunological data from the close viral relatives of

SARS-CoV-2 that cause 'common colds' — along with immunological data from SARS-CoV-1 and Middle East

Respiratory Syndrome. Leveraging evolutionary principles, the team was able to model the risk of COVID-19

reinfection over time."

 

So they made a model. Models tend to suffer from the bias of their makers and some of them are just garbage (e.g. the Imperial College one). Better to pay attention to studies that actually worked with people who had the virus and recovered. Like this one. Here's a study of COVID that shows the opposite of what the model you referred to does:

G’day Steve,

 

I agree that that we should follow the science …

 

·         A study reported in The Lancet Microbe reports, “Reinfection can reasonably happen in three months or less. Therefore, those who have been naturally infected should get vaccinated. Previous infection alone can offer very little long-term protection against subsequent infections.” (see summary)

 

… which suggests strong protection following natural infection is short-lived

Can’t support a non-scientific plan like this.   Suggesting that a person previously infected must get vaccinated is non-scientific.  I will stop there.

Thanks Andrew,

I agree it is a good plan that we could mimic.

G’day all

 

A Cisco colleague recently attended his first F2F conference for some time (it was actually a hybrid meeting, but the on-line component was mainly broadcast rather than interactive). It was sponsored by the Linux Foundation.

 

The experience was apparently not perfect, with my colleague reporting that some sessions were too full for his comfort, but generally pretty good. The most important aspect was that the Linux Foundation took COVID safety very seriously, including imposing:

·      A mask mandate

·      A vaccine requirement (with no exceptions for previous infection, etc)

·      Daily temperature checks

·      A social distancing code, with wristbands

See https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america/attend/health-and-safety/#in-person-attendance-requirements for details

 

This is the sort of thing that is going to be required for F2F activities to be provided in safety and comfort, at least in the near future. The Linux Foundation has done an excellent job at showing what is possible. This might be a good example for IEEE 802 to follow …
