Yes, I was part of the discussion on the board that night. None the less, the perception to the viewer was that masks were generally not worn.
As I said that evening, from a modeling behavior perspective, it did convey permission to go mask-less. I don't think that was their intention, however my first thought that night was," well looks like the mask mandate will not be extended."
On second thought, perhaps it was their intention. Maybe the Tonys were used to telegraph the mask change. I certainly don't know. |
