This variant evades protection from both vaccines and natural immunity, and is more contagious than other variants. We strongly recommend that you wear a mask to our in-person events. We also advise you to keep socially distant from others during our meeting out of respect for those who may be more vulnerable.
For those in-person attendees, we will have buttons for you to choose your comfort level concerning being around others. Red: you would like some extra space, Yellow: not ready for casual handshakes or touch, Green: I’m good and ready for a hug. Please respect the button choices of your fellow attendees! Thank you.
