Many of us would consider attending event(s) that made a serious effort to minimize health risks, such as, I don't know, mostly outdoors, no long indoors awards dinners, more cruises and events, scattered hotels of the courtyard type, whatever.

But the presence of more than a few vocal, resentful, angry group of virus deniers will render those efforts meaningless. Those few will poison the pool. 

If event promoters could shows us their plans for minimizing pandemic spread, and assure us that reasonable restrictions *will be enforced* I'd consider it. But I for one am not seeing that. I will not be attending large events this year. I suspect I am not alone.

I'm uninterested in "discussing" whether this is all necessary or not. Without it, I ain't there. I'll stick with my smaller groups, driving old cars in challenging ways, etc.

Maybe it is the end of big shows. Adapt or die, sadly, is not just a metaphor anymore.




The presence of more than a few vocal, resentful, angry chicken little's declaring that the sky is falling and that Covid is the end of the world as we know it, are already rendering life less meaningful, those overreacting alarmists have already poisoned the pool.

Grocery, big box, health care, police, firemen, and may others have been working "normally" with basic precautions since Covid has appeared, if they can work safely then there is no reason why events such as the Kenosha Homecoming shouldn't be able to go as planned, especially since the majority of the event takes place outdoors.  Unfortunately, the Covid overreaction is going to have long term NEGATIVE societal impacts.

one of my childhood friend's mom died this morning from covid.  And she rarely left the house at 82.  This is NOT the seasonal flu.

Sorry to hear about your friend's mom, Steve.  I know two people who have died from it.  People think it's all BS until it strikes someone they know.  Most people under age 40 or 50 have nothing to worry about, but their parents and grandparents are another story.

Yep. It's happened to few at work. Big anti maskers until the one guys mother died from it and he might of been the one who passed it on to her. How would that make you feel.......  Makes no sense to me.

I'm confused (what's new?).  The first post now says 2021 is cancelled yet the historical webpage link does not indicate this?!  Is 2021 cancelled also?
