Revision as of 01:39, 22 August 2020

The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic killed at least two fans, Tom Barber of Michigan and Glenn Chambers. Fans who were stricken with the disease include Amy L. Woolard of Chicago, who was hospitalized for many months, and Susan Chambers, Glenn’s wife.

Covid-related shutdowns forced conventions to cancel across the globe from Mid-March 2020 onwards. The Columbus 2020 NASFiC’s initial cancellation announcement, saying they weren’t planning to issue refunds but to print a souvenir book instead, evoked a lot of fannish ire.

Mike Lowrey cancelled his TAFF trip, and the Nice in 2023 Worldcon bid folded.

CoNZealand, the 2020 Worldcon decided, with less than four months notice, to hold a virtual Worldcon, the first of its kind. Several other cons also held online gatherings.
