I expect a lot of callers also will be dealing with emotions regarding relaxing after COVID. But we instituted safety measures based on science so I’m satisfied to drop them based on science, too. I'm vaccinated ("maxccinated" too , after having passed 2 weeks since my second shot). Science reporting says I'm safe on both senses: safe from others, and others are safe from me spreading the virus. I’m ready to call in September within my geographic area. The prospect today of calling 3-4 months from now can seem daunting, but for our area the numbers have been moving in the right direction and at a good pace so I'd expect September to look safe enough to dance for everyone concerned. I can't speak regarding other regions I'm not as familiar with. Dance organizers need to make their own determinations for what is safe for their population per their understanding of science reporting and local health rules. I think dances should be run with more health precautions than was usual before COVID. The flu is deadly enough, and even colds are just no fun. (We practically eliminated influenza this last season, so more social health responsibility is better.) An invitation to call is an opportunity for a teachable moment, if you think organizers are being reckless. \Bob Peterson Billerica, MA bob(a)contracorner.com <mailto:bob@contracorner.com> _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-leave(a)lists.sharedweight.net
