“I want them to move prom because it would be really unfortunate if somebody couldn’t go because they had COVID-19.”

“I just got COVID-19 and I don’t think I can get COVID-19 again, so I don’t feel as threatened... I am definitely disappointed and upset that we can’t have a normal prom“

“I think that wearing masks to prom is really not that bad. I thought we were always going to have to do that.”
