In California, the state public health department was putting counties into risk tiers by
case counts, and the 2.8 was the upper threshold for the lowest tier.
(In fact, when we made the rule, case counts were at 1.9, and we set the limit at 2, but
2.8 was a little more intellectually defensible. At the time the dance would have
happened case counts were at 10.)
[Assortment of difficult questions in how to do that setting - do we care, from a risk
management perspective, about case counts in the county if every attendee is provably
vaccinated? How much risk are we going to allow attendees to assume by attending? And
then Delta upset our applecart. Our guiding principle is that we don't want anyone to
die or get sick who wouldn't otherwise as a result of our holding a dance, including
children or immunocompromised people at home, so we're gonna be cautious.]

Alan, how did you come up with the threshold of 2.8/1k?

Princeton Country Dancers had dances on July 24 and July 31 and then
canceled the dances we had scheduled for August and September.
We have not heard of anyone who attended those 2 dances coming down with covid.
Thanks,

Hi all, with some dances resuming for the summer, I'd like to hear how that's been
for dance communities. Have groups started and then stopped? Is there any news of
infections from dance camps or weekends? I know Pinewoods heightened their requirements
(from just vaccination to also multiple negative tests + masking for the first few days of
American Week), and then cancelled the rest of their camps.
Thanks,
