As if the con crud wasn't enough.
Lockdown if old.
I bet this falls through. I have never been to TBCC, but I've heard it's pretty rinky dink and not super great. I somehow always end up busy that weekend.
They'll just have a thing where you have to acknowledge that you assume the risk of getting sick and that they aren't liable. Then hope and pray people end up going (which they will, and will get sick).
My friends are comics professionals and back when they came to C2E2 they were saying that Chicago would probably be their last stop during con season. They had cancelled their appearances at Emerald City which was shortly after. I can't imagine pros going to TBCC.

It's a crummy con, always has been, surprising they are going forward when all the other FL cons have decided to postpone and cancel till at least the late fall or winter.
At the same time, Disney and such are likely gonna be reopening around July and theres going to be far more people at the theme parks than this little con.

If they lean a certain way and this is the only convention around I can see them going.
While it's a bad idea not to make masks mandatory...I have a fear that they would be useless in a dense environment (with re-circulated air) like a Con. This is asking for trouble.

Con-goers are already pretty disgusting as it is. There's no way guidelines will be followed, let alone that they'll actually do anything. Going to this is just admitting that you don't care about anyone and would be fine if everyone you know or love dies horribly.
A lot of folks in my little corner of Floriduh have just stopped caring. Went to Publix today and about half the customers were un-masked and browsing like we weren't in the middle of a plague.
But it's all good, Disney will reopen and we'll just ignore or hide the infection numbers

Covid -19 just waiting in the wings rubbing its hands together and licking its chops. I fear this is going to be a bleak summer.
If I had to hazard a guess, they may be waiting for the city to pull the plug on it so that they can collect insurance/not have to pay damages, like a lot of the other cons have been doing. It's still two months out, which might as well be an eternity in the current moment, so there's plenty of time for the situation to change.
Considering Dice Tower Con in Orlando just canceled which is the same time period and a smaller convention, this hilariously stupid to try and do.
On the flip-side of this, another annual con that was scheduled to take place in the same convention center just a few weeks after TBCC has been cancelled
"We got permission from the Tampa Convention Center and Tampa Fire Marshall!"
I'm not really sure if those are the people you need to be asking about whether or not you can host the convention. The convention center has a vested interest in you not cancelling, and the fire marshall is really only equipped to evaluate fire hazards as they relate to crowd size.

It's ironic they announced this on the day where Florida had the most new cases in over a month.
