    No, what you say, sir, is not correct. Not about anything I said (unless you can show me), or, about the public health implications of the disease itself. Not in the US, anyway. In the US, "most of us" are not in jeopardy of the public health system being overwhelmed by cases of Covid19, if...

    Just to add some perspective to the subject, the foregoing contextualizes my prior posts. I suggest everybody take things one day at a time, do what you need to do, and keep your feet on the ground: Italy has an old population. That's why so many are dying from coronavirus there "Opinion /...

    Ampeg 810 and 5 string.

    The 810e is usable on stage. A cab needs to be usable. Simple.

    If the authorities declare a state of emergency, they will do what they're told. Trust me. Or else!

    Good point. There's also an extraordinarily high blood alcohol level on a cruise ship! The virus is reportedly very sensitive to alcohol. I wonder if all that drinking is skewing the results by disabling the virus? Is that crazy? Yeah, probably. But I'm just wondering.

    Sounds like the polio epidemic that happened in the US in the late 1940's. I survived that. It was just like you described. A nightmare. I still have nightmares about what happened. So now this is going to kill me? Ironic.

    Good luck riding this out at home! You are so fortunate to be able to do that! Sounds like your chances of getting through this unharmed are vastly increased. My wife is disabled with MS and lives in a hospital bed in our living room. Her home health nurse called me day before yesterday to say...

    Hunting for Bambi is a good example of disinformation promulgated by television news media. Yes, it received major television media coverage. World wide coverage, in fact. Behold: “Hunting For Bambi is a series of hoax videos publicized in the summer of 2003 that center on a fictional...

    Hunting for Bambi was indeed a scam, which I pointed out. I would also like to point out that I was there, and you weren't. Your assessment of what happened is patently false. Hunting for Bambi received massive world wide news coverage including a high degree of coverage in the US media. You...

    I am not a medical doctor and I am not giving anyone medical advise. I don't think anyone knows very much about what's happening with the Coronavirus. I have worked in the healthcare racket as a trained specialist allied to the practice of medicine, and this is what I think I know. Corrections...

    How true it is! Some people I know here in Vegas started a thing called "Hunting for Bambi". The press releases were just a ruse to get free publicity and entice people into buying video's of naked women getting hunted and shot with paint ball guns. The timing was perfect because the guy who...

    BL complained that I looked tired at the gig.

    Me too. A lot of people did. If you ever wonder why you don't do it anymore, I prescribe: "The Encyclopedia of Dead Rock Stars: Heroin, Handguns, and Ham Sandwiches". Very highly recommended...

    BL complained that I looked tired at the gig.

    We had a solution for physical exhaustion back in the day. Killed a lot of production people. I ran out of #$%$# at the end of a three day / three show run where I didn't sleep and blacked out in my truck going 55 MPH. I hit the barrier so hard I bent a wheel in half! Woke up sideways on the...

    The gloves might be useful. Masks will inhibit the virus from spreading in droplets from someone who is already infected. A mask won't strongly protect anyone from incoming infection. Any virus or bacteria for that matter can and does enter the body through the eyes, and the ears. You would need...
