The costs of always having a mask with you (and the costs of getting rejected because you forgot your mask)
I proposed organizers have surgical masks available, which at $0.08/each is very reasonable. On the other hand you probably already need a mask to get to the event: both public transit and taxis require masks here.
The costs of always having a mask with you and especially the costs of wearing a mask, seem much higher than the costs of ‘being vaccinated’.
I agree. The cost of being vaccinated (allocated to a single event) is super low, because it divides across so many activities/events.
“Not allowing food” seems very costly as well.
It depends a lot on the event. Most contradances here already don’t offer food; the one I organize is unusual in that it (in normal times) did put out some snacks (usually popsicles) at the midpoint.
I’m using microcovid.org’s numbers here. If you think they’re giving out the wrong numbers you could file an issue at https://github.com/microcovid/microcovid/issues, but they’re probably going to want citations in papers and not in news articles.
