Academic conferences are good for developing professional relationships with people in your field, getting super drunk with people in your field, sometimes hearing a talk that you think you can rip off or getting wind that you're getting scooped. Sometimes someone cares about your talk, no one cares about your poster.

Also viciously gossiping about your peers.

If you're in a more technical field, foreign companies send through employees to photograph each poster.

People are trying to organize an all-online replacement for APS March Meeting this year, I hope it takes off. Even without corona every year there's a "March meeting plague" where half the conference gets sick because it turns out mixing 11,000 people from all over the world in a dry conference center is a great way to spread illness. Senior people (boomers) are against getting rid of the conference because they NEED to fly across the Atlantic to present their stuff or something.

Older academics/business people have to fly and conference to rape different people than the ones they're normally used to raping.

Also it would be great if this pandemic can kill the super dumb academic conference model where everyone flies in from all over the world to give a single 15 minute talk. Reliable video conferencing exists already.

how will they cheat on their significant others if you cancel the only party that nerds get invited to?

March Meeting is the only 11,000 person event I've been to where I never had to wait in line for a women's washroom. If you're a straight man trying to find a woman to hook up with at a condensed matter physics conference it's not really a target rich environment.

There are quite a few people I know with physicist parents who were born in December, though...

how long can you vacation before you become symptomatic? like 2-3 days tops? sounds like a good way to spend half your vacay dealing with sickness and then a big rear end flight with flu symptoms the whole way

Trump doesn't think we have a corona virus problem in the US and one of the central themes of the Trump presidency is Trump is never wrong, ever.

Large scale testing simply will not happen until enough people die that Trump changes his mind that corona virus is actually a problem because testing will make it look like Trump is wrong and there is simply no upside to Trump being wrong as far as the upper levels of the administration are concerned right now because it's not obvious to every day people that he is wrong yet.

We are so hosed.
