the fact that he's at Walter Reed

The fact that he is currently at Walter Reed and likely a patient zero for a super spreader event is not a surprise for anyone watching the science and his behavior for the last 6 months.

masking, physical distancing and taking this seriously (even when doing small feiseanna) is what has allowed the NE to remain in a "safe" zone of positivity rates.

you can have a small covid-19 protocol driven feis and not have the same results as are happening in the current administration.

[> [> [> Subject: I don't see how to make that financially viable for any school. We put on more than 1 feis per year. While we do run in the black we don't make much. That was pre-covid with normal registration numbers. I don't see how it could be done without losing money with the low numbers you'd have during covid. You speak of multiple NE feiseanna having taken place during the pandemic. Where were these? I know only of the Murray School Feis, to which a very small number of outside friends were invited.
