Why don't I go to conferences anymore? It's not worth getting sick, and the only thing worse than getting sick is getting sick in a foreign country. So tired of it!

I might go to a conference again in a few years, but it's going to be very rare. I miss some aspects, but then I hear about everyone getting covid or the flu, and I'm like, "My god I'm so glad I didn't go".
