Yeah, definitely not taking the risk with personal travel at all - especially travelling with young children. Sorry but Disneyland will have to wait until the next election.
Work would have to promise to pay me even if a hired goon locked me up for a few months before I’d consider a business trip.

It might be a good time to move PyCon US to Canada again.
I live in America, and even I want to skip America.
Same here. I'm not in the gaming industry but I'll refuse going to the US for work these days. Not that that happens a lot because I work for an EU company, but we do have a sizeable US presence. But just no, I'm not willing to travel there anymore.
I'm very 'woke' by US and even European standards so I just wouldn't feel safe there. I don't expect any problems with my employer even if I'd be asked to go and refuse.

Canada or somewhere in Europe would be very appealing.
