I agree that how important it is to avoid getting or spreading covid should
be a major driver of dance policies. But I don't think this list is a good
place for discussion evaluating that importance: there's no "dance
organizer" perspective on that, so there's not much reason to have the
discussion here.

Seconding Donald's comments.
If this were about say, dealing with harassers, or an alcohol policy, or
any other safety issue, my assumption is that we wouldn't be looking to
avoid discussion if there was a major difference on the perception of harm
or danger.
This is one of the few places online where people mostly still are being
fairly civil; those "other places" I've almost entirely left or muted
because the debate has been so hostile. In contrast, what I read here are
people of some fairly differing opinions and no one is shouting or making
personal attacks.

Discussion of covid policies and implementation
are a good fit for this
list.
Discussion of how organizations have navigated conflicting needs and
preferences around covid in their communities is also good fit for this
list.
General "how seriously should you take covid at this point" discussion
is not a good fit: there are lots of other places to have that debate.

Re COVID in general in the US, we are still
seeing around 500 deaths
per day.

We have never required masks as they can be counter-productive when
exercising. We have been dancing again since July 20th 2021, when lockdown
ended.
