…. but Science doesn’t have a problem with an upcoming gathering of more than 275,000 mostly shirtless adults at Southern Decadence (September 1-5, 2022). Neither the CDC nor Louisiana’s public health officials, who eagerly shut down the New Orleans Public Schools, have made any attempt to shut down this event due to the potential for spreading SARS-CoV-2, monkeypox, and any other viruses that can spread from one shirtless human to another.
Science closed the Atlanta kindergartens as recently as January 2022 (NYT), but Science will soon welcome 100,000+ adults for all-day/all-night parties during Atlanta Black Pride.

123: No need to learn about these upcoming mass gatherings online. Every place where adults wish to mingle, except for some university classrooms, is fully open for unmasked interaction (and, if desired, unclothed interactions; see https://nomadicboys.com/gay-saunas-in-miami/ for a list of places near us).
K-12 kids, on the other hand, may still have to wear masks; see https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/mountain-view-school-4-year-old-masking/2982271/ for example and https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/07/27/school-mask-mandates-return/
In addition to K-12, “Masks are strongly recommended” at the top #Science believing colleges (https://sa.berkeley.edu/covid19/messages/2022/8/4/covid-19-mitigation-measures-fall-2022).
This at Cal can be translated as “wear a mask or be relentlessly shamed and ostracized by the 90% of students wearing masks”.
