Indoor, tightly packed, no masks, poorly ventilated…

It’s almost like tests and vaccines aren’t perfect, Covid can be asymptomatic and it’s airborne.

[QuickBrownFox]

Worst. Band. Ever.

Why in the world is Phish doing indoor shows to begin with, come on

[mr_raccoon]

So the venue can be one giant hotbox?

[RickMycroft]

And who, in a pandemic, is signing off on these?

[nick_warr]

I thought everyone went to se Phish to hang out in tha parking lot?

Everyone’s “favourite” monopoly, LiveNation. The same company that (as Cory discussed the other day) brought us the Houston stampede.

Are there not THC patches?

[SoylentPlaid]

Can’t puff-puff-pass with a patch, my friend.

[prooftheory]

You can’t do that with gummy bears either but it doesn’t seem like it stops the phishheads from eating them. If anything they mostly seem to vape the stuff and people don’t seem to pass around vapes.

[Mindysan33]

People who are acting like it’s over? Which is an increasingly large number of people lately?

You’re just not trying hard enough.

My local Facebook group says our rising case count in Michigan is due to the 3 million immigrants from 160 countries being bused here.

And then the next post says there is no increase because the numbers are made up.

So to recap, real immigrants are contributing to the fake numbers rising.

It has nothing to do with filled arenas, restaraunts, etc… or their refusal to wear masks and get vaccinated.

A very poor substitute for the Grateful Dead. There, I’ve said it aloud.

[kentkb]

Time moves on?
It used to be STDs after a Grateful Dead concert.

[knoxblox]

They reported having relatively minor symptoms, though two said they still hadn’t recovered their sense of smell or taste.

[spetrovits]

I was going to try and figure out which I’d want to experience and survive through less, a Phish show or COVID, but it turns out, I can avoid the latter by avoiding the former. Win-win!

[Mister44]

I kinda assumed you had a good chance at catching SOMETHING at a Phish concert.

I keed. I keed.

Just one more reason for me to dislike this band of self-indulgent string wankers.
