no. He went on a narrowboat cruise in the UK with friends, most (if not all) known to you.
Dermot (who lives in Oxford) organized it, and fannish friends from Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Arkansas (by way of Chicago) went on it. They scheduled it after the Glasgow WorldCon to make travel easier, as most of the people on the tour were going to be in Scotland anyway.
One of the people in the narrowboat party had apparently picked up COVID somewhere *before* getting on, and as it's a small space, everyone on the boat got sick. Nobody got *really* sick (although Patient Zero was very much "not well"), and as far as I know everyone has recovered.
