I’m masked at the #AHA and security didn’t let me into the exhibition space (where I was going to meet an editor) while other colleagues were inside already.

I understand that the space isn’t officially open, and they were following rules. But they were being selective.

Wearing a mask in the place where #LuigiMangione did his thing probably played a role in their vigilance. But this general suspicion towards masks is dangerous for everyone.

It seems like there should be some way for people attending online #conferences have in-person conversations with other people nearby "attending" the same #conference.
