Let's assume 30k people attended #BlackHat and #DefCon.
If 1% of them catch #COVID, that's 300 people.
If 10% of them end up with #LongCovid, that's 30 people.
All the numbers are probably actually higher.
Is disabling 30+ people an acceptable price to pay for a bunch of security wonks to get to socialize in person for a week?
I don't think so. Do you? Explain your answer.
