You're one of the people I thought of as I read the Fair's pleading with their prospective attendees to not be assholes, basically. But of course many of them will gleefully be just that. I'm really sorry. The fair should have required masks and proof of vaccination, but the kind of security they'd need to keep people from violent behavior would have had to be planned well in advance and might not seem feasible. Anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers are like abusive family members, and at some point institutions are going to have to stop tiptoeing around and whispering, "Don't make them mad."
