I'm not attending SCaLE 18x for unrelated reasons -- which outcome makes
me a bit sad, because it's a great event, that is also highly
affordable, and I recommend it.

If I were attending, I would take the exact same precautions I already
do at this time of year on account of this being the height of flu
season.  E.g.:  Thoroughly wash hands at pretty much every opportunity,
_train your hands to not touch your face_, try to avoid touching stair
bannisters, doorknobs, and similar surfaces, and don't eat from buffet
self-serving lines.  (Use alcohol-based hand-sanitisers wherever
available between hand-washings.)

Oh, and for heaven's sake, if you haven't yet gotten the seasonal flu
shot, do that right away.
