Question for anyone with the "you will alienate someone" or "everyone has a
different level of risk" mindset:
In other areas of life, do you consider someone's personal preference (like
not wearing a mask) the same as someone's health needs (like having a
health condition, or a family member who does)?

Like, how is this "both sides have a preference" narrative any different
from able-bodied people being like "Oh, well, I just don't like handicapped
ramps, I prefer steps"?
I'm not asking to be mean or rude. I genuinely would love an explanation.

I think there actually _is_ a way to please most people, and not just
disregard people with medical conditions (or family with them).
That is - making sure no area's dances are all mask-optional.
There's a big difference between an area having _some_ mask-optional
dances, sure, but if they're _all_ mask-optional.

Thanks,
Julian Blechner
