Hi Curt and the group, I believe that by then or a little later the number may be 90%. If that happens and does not trigger restrictions, it would be a good thing as Omicron seems to be for most people a head cold.
I guess there is no way to know for sure so far in the future. That is why I think I will delay registering until the summer. Hopefully by then we will know more. The problem is if everyone does that it will drive the Symposium organizers nuts trying to plan everything and having everyone register two weeks before. One complicating issue is many of the people in EMC are getting on in years which makes pandemic planning more uncertain for them. I may be the exception to the rule being 74 and I can still outrun most 30 year olds, especially at 115 degrees in the Southern Nevada desert!

Whether this is a result of everyone being exposed and the general population gaining some natural immunity is unknown. However, a small number of professionals are beginning to talk about the pandemic transitioning to an endemic in certain locations. Your guess is as good as mine as to when that may happen in this country. Where I live, restrictions are still in place, and I do not see any light in the tunnel yet. -Doug Douglas E Powell Laporte, Colorado USA [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> LinkedIn<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.linkedin.com_in_coloradocomplianceguy_&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=c9NR2mGfldry-2pM9Bbuww&m=hE8IFAi4fwTwMi2sr7EUT2QsSOsIXOxJ6LZG8bNMdn4&s=5Q98PH0AvsMm8dcVqeB5VRrdnmXngETUjtZ_62z7Wlg&e=> On Thu, Jan 27, 2022 at 3:05 PM doug emcesd.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emcesd.com&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=c9NR2mGfldry-2pM9Bbuww&m=hE8IFAi4fwTwMi2sr7EUT2QsSOsIXOxJ6LZG8bNMdn4&s=dila8ltA-yGMIit1L5dmj7ro1r1ZnGuvCNkG16FHAaw&e=> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Everyone, I just saw an announcement from the Symposium in August in Spokane, WI and had a question. What is the current Covid climate like there from the point of review of restrictions and as a local, do you think it will change by the end of summer? The kind of typical restrictions I see around the country would make the event not worth attending for me, certainly taking away from the pleasure of going to the Symposium, potentially increasing the cost of going there significantly. I am hoping that like England, Ireland, and Denmark have done, all the restrictions will go away soon here. Here in Boulder City, NV my personal life has been very little effected during the pandemic. I hope Spokane is the same.
