This was one of the first things in my area to be canceled. The places hosting did not want the risk of people without masks singing indoors. On top of that recipe for disaster, the folks who manage the events and provide the equipment could’nt figure out a safe way for multiple people to use their microphones.

Due to issues with the audio, karaoke doesn’t work well online using popular videoconferencing sites. So, I’ll keep practicing on my captive audience :pouting_cat: until the pandemic is over. :woman_singer:t4: :shower:

One of my local theaters has re-opened with two musicals back to back. The first one even had a special audience sing-along matinee! :angry:

ETA: I just checked their website. Their next show after the two musicals revolves around a funeral. :woman_facepalming:t2:

Ugh. You’re making me wonder if that was a factor in those churches with outbreaks that held in-person services. Usually everybody is singing along with the choir. Sometimes the choir walks around the congregation while they are singing - multiple times during the course of a service. This is also a factor in services that last 3-4 hours. :grimacing:

ETA: outbreaks

Theres also been a spread in the lone star tick which can make you allergic to meat. Would this mean that if you have been bitten my the tick, then get COVID, you become allergic to coffee?

While I strenuously oppose opening colleges, it would provide an opportunity to improve future collegiate life by permanently banning fraternities.

Not all frats and sororities are made up of clueless partiers:


In the Black community they promote activism and community service.

Banning them all because of some selfish, stupid assholes isn’t a good solution.

I heard the predictions of 400k deaths by January 2021 and at first thought nawwww. That doesn’t wash with the current rates. Then, after seeing more of this… Yup. 400k is not far off.

Among those who do not stay at home, a third have symptoms. Only a quarter of those who do not have symptoms follow the quarantine rules.

The survey shows that those who most often break the rules are those who are over 50 years old. 76 percent of those between the ages of 50 and 69 have broken the rules at least once.

Going out in public when you know you are a carrier should have the same kind of consequences as going out in public randomly shooting a gun. I don’t care if you are a college student or a pensioner.

Active local Covid cases still = zero.

OTOH…

The Tas economy is rather marginal at the best of times, and is heavily reliant on tourism.

Massive live fire testing is one way to get to market quickly. Or a zombie plague. Either way.
