    Well, wonderful- great news. Since we know the virus has around a two week incubation period, I'll hold off on my applause until the end of the month. A one day decrease nationally is way too soon to say it's a trend. Ohio is flat too. 

    Actually 14 days is the top end of a virus incubation.

    But Axe and I are the guys here whose profession has been hit the hardest. But if you are retired and don't care if you leave the house anyway or work from home on a PC or grow tomatoes it's a different deal. As an Entertainer I think I'm unique because with the exception of chefs or some in management other people in a restaurant or a bar consider it just a job.. Few consider themselves lifelong professional servers line cooks dishwashers or Busboys.

    Steve all politics aside don't let anyone convince you it's safe for a guy your age to go back out into the music scene at this point in time. At least give it another month before you hop back into that life again. At least listen to Fauci from yesterday and ere on the cautious side until the reopening has had to at least Mid-June to play out. It isn't being done properly in most states using the DT admins' own guidelines and they have blocked publication now of the CDC report specifying how reopening should be done. The one thing we do know about the virus is that prolonged exposure in fairly crowded enclosed areas is the worst possible kind of exposure if you exclude the obvious captives in nursing home type facilities. And if you add the fact that using a singing voice requires more than just normal breathing, then you are increasing that risk for yourself above the normal patron.

    There are too many voices out there whispering in you ear that it will be just fine. Tune it out and make the right decision for yourself. Right now you are questioning the data being too high. Ok, but just remember that Russian roulette with a 10 shot revolver is safer than it is with a 5 shot one, but when it lands on the right cylinder, it's just as deadly. For a guy your age the risk is definitely higher than a guy Axe's age. Make no mistake about that data anyway.

    Hey I've had a few heart operations oh, not open heart but stents and cancer surgery. I'm honestly no more fearful about going out to play music than I am driving from Akron to Cleveland in my car. I'd be glad to go play out this weekend. Unfortunately the venues of made that decision otherwise. I've lost everything from Saint Patrick's day until 5th of June. Plus I was spending thousands on the new CD and with today's marketing practices that will mostly be lost. Of course at this point in my life I don't do it for the money. If I sell a hard copy at a performance great. Mostly I get a penny a spin from the streaming services. The next couple of days I'll be registering all songs for the new CD & my previous one with ASCAP. But nowhere I have ever played has the stage been any closer then a few feet from the front table. I don't see the problem.

    [edit]

    Just saw on Facebook more and more of my loudest most obnoxious liberal colleagues who have been blaring away at people who refuse to stay home as mass murderers... Now that venues are canceling live entertainment these same guys are freaking out about that. Fucking hypocrites.

    Make the first two rows wear masks or bandanas. Take a few with you to hand out. I don't know if you have seen the scientific infrared studies on coughs and sneezes, but the droplets carry as far as 13 feet, not the 6 feet "safe" distance. A plain bandana drops that at least in half. And those little coronas are tiny little microscopic little devils. Droplets that carry them can be as small a very fine mist almost as small as fog.

    Anyway I'm just concerned for you. Now cal I don't worry about at all. He's taking every precaution and then some. Stay safe out there. Little green things are trying to kill us all. ?

    Dude I appreciate the concern. But seriously I don't have a date until June 5th even though I would go back tomorrow. As far as making everyone at a bar rear restaurant wear a mask oh, please. The only reason I'm employed is for people to come in sit down and spend money on booze and food. I would like to thank the people would spend 25 bucks for a ticket just to sit there and listen oh, and maybe some would, but the idea is to sell their product. Which can't be consumed wearing a mask. And if you take the mask off between every bite of food and every sip of beer it really makes the mask useless. Even more useless I should say.

    They don't work to keep you from getting it, but they do work to decrease spray from your own cough or sneeze. 

    Take the time to educate yourself on how you can protect others from yourself as a possible asymtomatic carrier. That is what the purpose of the mask is since you seem to resist using them.  While I'm at it can you identify people at risk in your own life you would want to protect from the virus. You need not give names, just relationships. Maybe that can help change your own behavior for their benefit, not yours.

    I understand Steve. Never been a bar hopper or musical venue person, so you've educated me there. Maybe just back away on the stage a bit more than normal. Your call. I just don't want to see any others on this board get this stuff. It's obvious from those who have that it's really bad stuff, even if you're in good condition going in.

  • Tell ya what Tex.. Just stay hidden under the bed or in the closet or what ever.. The only way thru is herd immunity. There will never be a vaccine that works.. We learn that every year with the flu. You're hiding every day. I'm out in public every day.  And in this entire time. I've talked with one person that knew someone that had it. His late 60s parents and sister.. They are all back to work.. It was the flu.. We're being lied to but Orange man bad!!!

    And the same thing but a bit more generously. If any of you guys are truly and fear for your lives there's absolutely no reason for you to leave your homes. I'm guessing most of you are retired anyway but nobody's forcing anything on you. So while no sacrifice at all is required of you why should it make you feel better to force sacrifice on people who don't choose to self quarantine? Just for the record I know a few people who have died recently from cancer. I don't know anyone personally who has died from Covid. And everyone that does whines up on the news. The cancer victims? Not so much. As a matter of fact not at all.

    And I'm not blaming you for anything just pointing out that personal responsibility is personal responsibility and the risks you take you take with your eyes open.

    The guys I am especially calling out are the pompous liberal musician friends of mine who've been calling people who don't wear masks murderers and now are pissed off that venues are canceling their gigs.

  • We're all going to die from something. It's inevitable.. While I'm not looking forward to it,until that time,, I'll live MY life thank you. I don't need some pansy assed liberals trying to tell me how to live it.
