Is expo sending wrong message?

Please help me understand. The “Aging Wellness” expo is scheduled to take place on Saturday in Las Vegas. Isn’t living a prerequisite for aging well? Aren’t senior citizens more susceptible to COVID-19 than those who are younger? Aren’t thousands of senior citizens expected to attend the wellness event?

If the sponsors and presenters are so enthusiastic about providing information to seniors so as to enable seniors to age well, shouldn’t they be telling seniors to stay away from indoor large audience events so as to minimize their chances of contracting COVID-19?

This just doesn’t make sense to me. I hope it does not become a super spreader event.
