I think it simply isn't safe to assemble like this until vaccinations are available.

To be honest, I know antivaxxers are a statistical anomaly, but I'm not sure we'll be safe as a community even after vaccines are widely available.

Even medium levels of vaccination can have a massive impact, depending on virus characteristics. We'll see.

True, but each person gets to make that decision for themselves. Call me cruel, but if a bunch of anti vaxxers want to infect each other, so be it. That won’t stop me from living a normal life again once I’m vaccinated and can’t get sick not get anyone else sick.

They’re doing the right thing. School of Music prob would’ve closed down too, but they are following EHS guidelines which are way too late and not enough.

I’m a bit salty about the whole existence of the school of dance at UofM anyway, so too fucking bad.

It's a good program. Is your complaint that you don't think that performing arts contribute to society, or just that people should not receive any education in performance arts?

Neither. It’s more personal than that and explaining might make me identifiable to some people. I should’ve realized people would get up in arms with a comment like that.

Who could have possibly foreseen this?
Sarcasm may be unwarranted. I’m reasonably confident that this was foreseen—no one at UM thought the fall would pass with zero cases. A sound plan for a concentrated outbreak would be a targeted shutdown. Looks like that’s what happened: a 2-week stoppage of in-person classes in that one program, along with no building entry.
The complete building closure is a surprise to me, but since EHS hasn’t rung in maybe that will change.
We truly are victims of circumstance 😔
