Fauci was briefly @ Hogan on early Friday evening. He may have arrived with Rougeau. He was continuously double-masked as was his four member security detail. He did not dine or drink at Hogan. Possibly he had dinner with TPTB on Friday evening. On Saturday AM, he was selectively masked, as indicated in the reports. I do not know if he attended the reception outdoors after the dedication ceremony, and if he did, whether he was masked or not.
The incubation period for Omicron is generally two-three days, half the period of earlier variants.. Incubation period is the time between exposure and becoming symptomatic.
This suggests he was not infected during his Friday visit to Hogan. And this also suggests he more likely was infected after Saturday -- for example, on Sunday -- as Wednesday would be the fourth day following exposure, counting the exposure day.

He did not attend the reception after the ceremony. I believe he spent much of that time touring the Science Complex with a small contingent

To be honest, I was afraid this might have turned into a super-spreader event. Not so much for Dr. Fauci who generally was masked except when he was speaking and especially when the 4-5 students were presenting him with his white coat and they were unmasked.
My concern was almost no one in the packed atrium audience was wearing a mask and I know of a number of alums who had had Covid and felt they were not only protected but weren’t able to spread the disease.
Of course some experts have opined that EVERYONE will get it at some point.
P.S. Let me know if Kit gets it as I will be up the creek!

As a fully-vaxxed, double-boosted and fairly consistent indoor single and double masker, Fauci may also be a daily tester. So he may have detected his Covid infection earlier than the average fella. Perhaps even pre-symptoms.
In good news for some (this might scare others), NYC has just (!) ended the school mask mandate for children ages two to four.

Maybe face shields should have been handed out at the door.

As shown in the picture I posted earlier, I was not wearing a mask on Friday when I was standing next to Dr. Fauci and he was kind enough to shake hands with me. My wife was not masked either (she took the picture). We are fully vaxed and double boosted. I know we can still be carriers however. We were tested (neg) before the weekend, tested yesterday (negative) and will test again today (with granddaughters coming over). It was again negative.
PS: WE also made it into the video from Saturday morning (standing by the stairs). Few in the crowd wore masks on Saturday. The place was jammed, but there was space around the speakers on the podium. Kit was not wearing a mask when he came around nd at the picnic. Speaking to him was most enjoyable.

I've assumed, correctly I hope, that those in attendance were as cautious and considerate as you and your wife.

I assumed, incorrectly, HC had scheduled the ceremony months in advance so it could be held outside and had a lovely set up on the quad or other location with all contingencies such as a covering if it was a rainy day.
Dr. Fauci obviously would have received a tour of the buildings named for him and they could have been open for tours all weekend but it would have avoided the thousand people packed tightly together indoors scene that Dr. Fauci declined to participate in at the Washington Correspondents Dinner that did generate many cases despite pre-event testing.
Not outraged or anything, just genuinely surprised based on following HC's response to the pandemic on Crossports for a couple of years.

Just received a note from a friend who was at Reunion this past weekend. Both he and his wife tested positive today, along with another classmate. So far, at least 3 people I know have been infected.

That's a pencil sharpener attached to the bookcase above Dr. Fauci's head. A level of technology I can understand.

Then came Omicron which could infect a man on a galloping horse.

If you can find P100’s wear them.
I currently know three people who were at Reunion last week, who are now positive.
From observation last weekend, 99% of the people at Reunion were mask less.

How did Covid concerns and/or restrictions affect the reunion attendance?

From observation, Covid was in the rear view mirror to most of attendees and staff. People seemed to have thrown caution to the wind.

If there was wind in the atrium there would be less to be cautious about.

I am not sure one can say that relying primarily on vaccines and boosters is exactly "throwing caution to the winds." That wording seems a bit extreme. Now if they are still avoiding the vaccine, that could be correct. That would be in a minority of cases. Remember, the effects of Covid are diminished in their severity among those who are vaccinated.

Dr. Eli David is an Israeli computer scientist, he is not a physician nor does he have a background in public health. He is an anti-vaxxer, and before creating a meme about Fauci, he picked on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada. Whether he is a member of an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect whose members resist any vaccination, e.g., a recent measles outbreak in Brooklyn with Israeli roots, I know not. ------------------------ The efficacy of the mRNA vaccines at preventing symptomatic infection is about 95 percent, with efficacy diminishing over time. Hence boosters. 95 percent is not 100 percent, and there is no vaccine that is 100 percent effective against infection by an infectious agent, e.g., the smallpox vaccine is only 95 percent effective; one dose of the measles vaccine is 93 percent effective. No responsible public health official, and that includes Fauci, would ever claim 100 percent efficacy for any vaccine. --------------- At Holy Cross, there were about 320 cases (staff and students) prior to the start of the fall semester August 2021, and about 1,500 cases since the end of August. Obviously, a high percentage of a campus population that was fully vaccinated and boostered and tested positive. And from the data, it seems that a high percentage of those who were infected were asymptomatic.
Four staff tested positive between June 10 and June 16. No student positives.

Replying to this post as well as Crucis' and Longsuffering's: some variation of what you've collectively posted accounts for the attendees; what I'm more interested is in those who, if this was 2019; would have attended but passed on it.
