Burningman is going to manifest COVID all over its attendees.

> Blockquote There will not be any health or COVID-19-related entry requirements for Black Rock City this year. This means that Burning Man will not require proof of vaccination or a negative test as a condition of entry. This decision was made after careful consideration and ongoing conversations over the last year, following the guidance of medical experts, and observing how other events and gatherings have operated safely.

Maybe that feeling google AI will take up performance art and send all expense paid trips to Burning man to those recently exposed to Monkey Pox.

in all seriousness, our camp is on high alert with both COVID and Monkeypox a real possibility on the playa this year. we are planning protocols for each, and every member is asked to test before leaving and to bring at least 2 tests with them.

Are we sure it’s not chimpanzee pox… Monkeys get to much overflow credit if you ask me.

Artist Jon Alloway imagines a monkeypox outbreak

does he? as I see it, he just fed an algorithm with a few suggestions. the “imagining”-part was done by the so-called “ai”, right?

glorious times…

Indeed, I know of several large camps, including my own, that have protocols in place to help mitigate the spread of Covid. Most of us are voluntarily vaccinated and those who aren’t have had it enough times to carry at least some immunity…
As for the pox, we are learning and discussing options. High risk fellows have vaccinated against and are respectful of those of us who aren’t.
We’re all doing our best with the information and circumstances at hand. We find the risks manageable, and the experiences of Burningman invaluable and awe inspiring.
In fact, just today I was wondering when the burner bashing would begin here on BB. And with the predictability of a beautiful, brilliant, mutant horde i was not disappoint. Bless your hearts.
