“This is all because of Pride,” said Evan Ipock, gesturing at the people in line who, like him, were waiting for hours in the hopes of snagging a walk-in appointment. “People want to be able to feel safe having fun this weekend.” Some of that anxiety comes from the lack of information about the disease, the symptoms, how it’s spread, and who is at risk.
