Re: [802SEC] F2F meeting safety



All,

At first thought being vaccinated would seem to be the way to go. But if we are truly trying to maximize the safety of our membership, having a negative test does a better job of achieving this goal. Yes, there has been new data just recently released (in the past few days) by the CDC that shows being vaccinated does reduce your chance of contracting the virus (by 6:1 if I recall correctly) - a first time for this type of data. And yes, we already know that being vaccinated significantly reduces the possibility of severe effects and death by 10:1 if contracted, as stated by the CDC. However encouraging these both are, being vaccinated does not maximize protecting all travelers (international and domestic) from contracting it while at the venue.

 

Applying a negative test criteria to not just international travelers, but all attendees helps to better achieve the goal of maximizing the protecting of all in-person participants and it does not violate any personal or religious beliefs to boot. So a slightly different, but more effective take on the what is good for the goose should be good for the gander statement below.

G’day Ben

 

Let’s suppose the IEEE 802 decides to hold the IEEE 802 plenary in Florida in March 2022 (which I suspect is at least possible, if not probable). Also assume that the planned US entry requirements (from 8 Nov) remain the same for participants from outside the US, ie full vaccination with a WHO approved vaccine (exceptions have apparently not yet been determined but it is reported there are likely to be none for over 18s)  AND a negative test within three days.

 

This means that if I attend the IEEE 802 plenary in Florida in March 2022 then you will know with certainty that I have been tested within the last three days (and passed) and am fully vaccinated. Similarly, if I register to attend but don’t turn up then this is a pretty good indication that I failed the COVID test. According to the logic of your e-mail, this is an egregious violation of my privacy that has been enabled by IEEE 802 scheduling a meeting in Florida. On this basis, the IEEE 802 should not schedule any F2F meeting in any country (including the US) that requires vaccination and/or testing. The Florida meeting should be immediately cancelled.

 

Of course, this is silly (and would probably result in remote-only meetings for a very long time). The real goal is to promote (not guarantee) the safety of all participants at IEEE 802 meetings, and those they may come in contact with, at the meeting and afterwards. This goal can be achieved by requiring all those attending an IEEE 802 meeting to be vaccinated, just like the requirement on those who cross international borders. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander. 😊 The goal could also be achieved by mandated pre-meeting testing as well.

 

There is no need to require participants to provide medical records (which is sensitive for many people) or for anyone to review those records (which is challenging given the diversity of record types). Instead, a more pragmatic approach is to require all participants to affirm/declare that they meet the full vaccination (and testing) requirements. It is possible that some could lie but that would be an ethical violation for the individual, which has its own consequences. I suspect very few would lie, which means IEEE 802 achieves its goal of a safe meeting with high probability, with any privacy violations (if you believe they even exist) extremely limited and also uniform across all attendees (local and international).

Either is a violation of privacy. Were it any other medical condition, the idea of requiring disclosure of confidential patient records to an SDO would be acknowledged as inappropriate and unacceptable to many if not most attendees.

However we seem to have accepted a completely different standard in the case of this particular virus.  That is a political determination.  I won't debate politics on this reflector because I think this is an inappropriate use of the reflectors. I will restate however that governments around the world are setting requirements with which our attendees must comply, and we should neither debate those requirements nor take the role of enforcement for local laws and regulations .

Proof of negative test is required to travel into or out of every country I checked including the US, Canada, Japan, UK and at least one EU member state. [I looked at their government sites for requirements].  Also proof of vaccination is required by most.  Thus it would be both redundant for 802 to police either.

Further, the citizens of a particular nation may debate with their government justifications for excepting COVID from normal privacy protections, but that is out of scope of 802.  We are not a government and do not have the authority of a government.  Requiring disclosure of medical history is very risky, and should we exclude anyone who chooses not to disclose based on privacy concerns, we would be exposed to bad things (loss of accreditation or worse).

So I remain steadfast that 802 NOT take any such verification as a requirement to attend meetings.  Completely unneccessary risk.

FWIW

Clint,

 

                Thanks for the clarification.  I think I would be okay with requiring a recent Covid test since that does not required proof of vaccination, and is not too onerous.

 

                It is not clear that those who are vaccinated would not need such a proof since recent studies have shown that those who are vaccinated are just as likely to pass on the virus as those who are not.  But now we are getting into the (political) science.  😊

Steve,

I was referring to 802 essentially having no requirements or protocols in place. I think that for those traveling from outside the US (given a US mtg.) the concern of them carrying the virus to the meeting is significantly decreased due to the measures in place to be able to travel internationally. The concern is with those travelling from with-in the US, where the measures in place for travel are not as high (no requirement of a negative test result or being vaccinated), thereby putting at risk all those (including their family, friends, community) travelling internationally that have to meet a higher bar. Family, friends, community that can’t be vaccinated, or those with underlying health conditions that even if vaccinated would not tolerate catching the virus - this actually applies to those travelling domestically as well. Additionally, how many people in 802 have an underlying health condition, that they do not know about, that if they caught the virus would cause them immense suffering, life long health complications, or even death. I would submit 1 is even too many, especially since we could/should take measures in helping to reduce that chance.

 

As the 802 leadership it is our responsibility to help ensure the safety of our members, family, friends, etc. as best we can.

Clint

While I don’t disagree that it’s a personal choice, and many of the measures would be hard to enable, I think simply throwing our hands up in the air (if things have not significantly improved) is also irresponsible to our fellow members and mankind in general. As leaders in a global IEEE organization we should be setting the standard, which in my mind does not equate to removing the bar. I think some balance between the two extremes can surely be obtained that addresses concerns of members (and their countries guidelines) from all corners of the world.

In addition to the pragmatic points made by James, I would add that this is largely a political discussion which, while highly entertaining, is proposing public policy that is way out of scope of 802.  Various governments are and will continue to set rules for travel and public gatherings. All attendees will be aware of the constraints and expectations if they are travelling to our events.  Ultimately each person will have to decide independently, and/or with the "help" of our governments or employers, when we achieve an acceptable level of risk.  I happen to agree with Dan's point that personal safety is a personal responsibility, and abdicating that responsibility to others is generally unwise, but that is a personal view based on my own experiences. You may choose to put your all your trust in others to protect you - when you do so you have made a choice.

 

Currently proof of vaccination or recent recovery from "COVID" AND a negative test within a certain period (typically 3 days prior to travel) is required to travel into or out of many if not most countries.  It is highly unlikely such requirements will not be applied to every potential attendee.   Requiring our meeting planners to collect personal medical information on attendees is redundant. It may also violate privacy laws in some places.

 

Currently "mask wearing" is required for indoor public gatherings most places where we are likely to hold a session.  Masks will be removed to drink beverages and eat meals and snacks. In many places masks are not required outdoors.  Despite the logical inconsistencies, most governments have deemed it so.   Few have to my knowledge queried 802 for input on making such policies. 

 

Social distancing is also required by most jurisdictions when in public (and some places private) gatherings.  As noted, there are various definitions of "distant". Wherever we happen to be, each person is responsible for abiding by the requirements or guidelines established for that location.  The venue will be required to provide for such distancing by capacity limits, markings, signage and so on, and may (or may not) be responsible for enforcement.  Again something we will live with which is out of scope of 802. 

 

I could go on...y'all know I could...but enough to make the point. We could choose to develop our own arbitrary policies we argue are better than whatever is in place where we go, and then have the impossible task of enforcing behaviors that are pragmatically out of our control. Though the idea of an EC member running around during meetings and breaks with a measuring stick checking "social distancing" is highly amusing (for me), it seems neither practical nor beneficial.

 

FWIW...please continue to debate.

 

Ben

Subject: Re: [802SEC] F2F meeting safety

 

All

I oppose implementing those requirements for the following reasons:

1) Face covering mandate
   a) There is plenty of data from the US as well as studies that
indicate that these make little to no difference.
   b) The type of face covering worn and how it is fitted can change by
7 to 1 or more the effectiveness in preventing droplets (which assumes
that this measurement is capable of predicting spreading of this virus).
  Are we going to adopt a requirement for a specific face covering that
will make it difficult to hear each other?  How will we police it?  Do
we want to?

2) Vaccine requirement
   a) As Bob Grow mentioned, requiring our meeting planners to validate
vaccine data from multiple countries and in various languages isn't
practical
   b) The requirement ignores the data and history of vaccines in
dismissing immunity from previous infections.
   c) We would have to determine which vaccinations we accept or don't
accept.
   d) We can expect the moving of goal posts such that booster shots may
be required to be considered "fully vaccinated".
   e) No religious or medical exemptions and I don't think we could
review them anyway.

3) Daily temperature checks
   a) There isn't any data that says that this is effective.
   b) Non-contact thermometers are not very accurate
   c) The current theory is that the virus can spread from asymptomatic
people, i.e., no fever, so even accurate temperature screening is
unlikely to be effective.

4) Social distancing
   a) So,which distance to we choose? 1 m (WHO recommendation), the US
has 1.83 m (6 ft) and apparently Germany and Austria use 1.5 m.
   b) Are we going to hire people to enforce this?
   c) Note that the recommendations are for prolonged face-to-face
contact (> 10 minutes as I recall), so we wouldn't need this everywhere.

At least no one recommended wiping down tables and chairs (although I
would advise people not to lick tables or chairs in any event).

Note that depending on the location, we would have these rules in the
meeting, but then could go to breakfast, lunch or dinner together with
none of these requirements in place.  So enforcing them in the halls
seems to me to be quite silly.

We may have individuals in high risk categories who may want to take
additional precautions or even not attend.  But for those of us in low
risk categories, i.e., where the risk is no more than the seasonal flu,
there is no reason to add these requirements.

Furthermore, I don't know why you're applying the vaccination percentage (which includes the almost 20% of the population that cannot be vaccinated) to deaths by drowning. The statistic is odds of dying. Of course, I'm sure there would be people attributing a vaccinated, COVID+ person who died from drowning as a COVID death and not a drowning death.

So it's not really useful for our discussion and I probably shouldn't have included it. That said, I do believe it does highlight the poor personal risk management that people are engaging in with COVID, which was my point in bringing it up. And I do maintain that we all have traditionally engaged in activities that carry more risk than being in the room with 100 unmasked people at a F2F IEEE 802 meeting. And we probably will again, e.g. when we next get into a motor vehicle. The safetyism surrounding "zero covid" is irrational and emotional.

But you can't meaningfully compare that to 1 in 42K and say that drowning is much more likely than breakthrough COVID death, because the denominators are completely different. To illustrate, "In the US, an average of 3,500 to 4,000 people drown per year<https://www.stopdrowningnow.org/drowning-statistics/>." Let's presume that, in 2021, 55% of those will be unvaccinated. So about 2000 vaccinated people will die in the US in 2021 from drowning, but 4333 of them have already died due to COVID.
