I am Catholic and know many conservative Catholics who refused to be vaxxed because of a stem cell story constantly played on Fox News. So, do not assume HTS folks have been vaxxed. Kids will survive w/o some dumb father-daughter dance. They may not survive their conservative parents' views.
Well that's just silly.The pope said Catholics have a moral obligation to get vaccinated, and last time I checked he outranks Fox News in the Catholic hierarchy.
Are you Catholic? A lot of Catholics don’t like the current Pope because of some of his more liberal views…
I didn't think following the Pope's guidance was optional and/or dependent on whether you agreed with him. That doesn't mean that people don't ignore him in practice, but at least in theory it isn't really a matter of liking/disliking or agreeing/disagreeing.

This is just completely untrue. Catholics are the most vaccinated Christians. Just because you know some unvaccinated doesn't mean it is fact.

Vaccinations are pretty irrelevant here. Of course if there is a large or crowded event, someone will have covid and therefore there is a risk of catching covid, whether vaccinated or not. So people who hold and attend these events are accepting that risk, which is their right. For anyone who finds that risk unacceptable, they should not attend.

Incorrect. HTS does not require vaccination. I did not say all HTS students and teachers are vaccinated but that the vast majority are (or have already had covid). I am a parent with a child at this school so I'm pretty sure my information is better than either of yours.
So again- there was no requirement that dance attendees be vaxxed.

This is how conservative know-it-alls talk to people. All the more reason not to have the dance.

Not saying it was or wasn't a good idea, but there's no way someone caught Covid on Friday night and managed to show symptoms, get tested, and show up positive by this morning.
Completely disagree with this. Our school had a Friday afternoon event and the number of people who woke up sick on Sunday am was surprising. We all managed to get tested and results that Sunday evening or Monday am. There were 4 cases just in one of my kids classes.
Sure, but it's very unlikely that you all got infected at the Friday event. CDC says 2-4 days before you would experience symptoms and up to 5 days before you reliably test positive.
https://health.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/
It's not impossible, I'm sure – but I think it's too early for HTS specifically to attribute a Sunday positive to a Friday night event. If there are a bunch of Tuesday/Wednesday positives, that's different.

No... but is it very likely that someone tested negative on Friday, woke up saturday with symptoms and was positive by Sunday. I know because this happened to me.
