Thoughtfulness and civility went out the window awhile back, the raid on toilet paper kind of confirmed that.i'd be more concerned about thoughtfulness and civility dying. if you have more than a month's worth of toilet paper = you know who you are!
I think you're missing my point. They don't have the skills to connect in an intimate performance the same way just a singer with a piano can. Stipping it down to connect emotionally.

Why would you assume that.
Im worried about the millions of people forced out of business
people dont get the full picture......yet
and no, its not just about the music or me. its everything and everybody
all and any events in general
Business , Sports, Racing, Music, Theater, Amusement parks, Casinos etc etc
Billions of dollars and millions of jobs instantly eliminated for 300 deaths
all they see is the propaganda on the news
and it seems to fool a majority.
anybody with a case 3 months ago has recovered.
you dont get it, you dont shut down a country for a 3% mortality rate
when nobody gave a krap or ever listened to 35 or 45% mortality rates
it is more than 300 deaths world wide. The thing spread super fast, faster than any other disesses
The news is reporting what’s going on in Italy (heard of it, have you?) and what the people who actually study pandemics are saying. This virus overwhelms health care systems. That’s not propaganda.
Have a look at this thread: Coronavirus discussion thread
Or this article: Coronavirus discussion thread
its only 300 in the states and they already shut down billions of dollars of business.
and yes shut down some state borders
the total death rate in the united states for swing flu in 2009
yes 10 years ago was 20,000
Worldwide death rate for your new pandemic 18,000
Did they force people out of business in the states with armed guards for 20,000 deaths
keep in mind this is a higher death toll than worldwide now in just the states.
no, keep in mind all you have to do is " wash your hands" to get rid of swine flu too.
your new pandemic doesnt spread faster. its a virus that gets spread the same way as any other.
and the recovery rate is higher than any other pandemic. 93% recovery rate
and yes shut down some state borders
the total death rate in the united states for swing flu in 2009
yes 10 years ago was 20,000
Worldwide death rate for your new pandemic 18,000
Did they force people out of business in the states with armed guards for 20,000 deaths
keep in mind this is a higher death toll than worldwide now in just the states.
no, keep in mind all you have to do is " wash your hands" to get rid of swine flu too.
your new pandemic doesnt spread faster. its a virus that gets spread the same way as any other.
and the recovery rate is higher than any other pandemic. 93% recovery rate
If it is as you say then we should be back to some degree of normalcy by may...........stay tuned
yes of course 300 deaths " overwhelmed" the health care system
20,000 deaths did not.
did you read about the " overwhelmed" health care in the states for 20,000
but 4 months and 300 people have overwhelmed us
what about the 250,000 deaths a year from flu.
over the last 20 years have you heard of the health care overwhelmed from 250,000 deaths just in the states
but let me guess 18,000 is " overwhelmed" worldwide.
if 250,000 thousand people died...yes let me repeat died in the states from the flu
that would mean on average 20,000 deaths per month. only in the united states
So im curious why 20,000 deaths in the states was not overwhelming, but 18,000 worldwide is a issue.
or lets be more specific
20,000 deaths no problem
300 huge issue
by the way, yes 3 deaths in our area put millions of people out of their jobs.
keep in mind state wide more people died from drunk driving

This is a *very* legitimate concern.
There was no shortage of companies using 9/11 as an excuse to cut down their workforce. I foresee the same - and likely worse - once the virus is out of here.
I've already done my own math for the "worst case scenario" (from a financial standpoint) and am not liking it one bit. This is from a guy who theoretically has more "job protection" (on paper) than most people in this country.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this turn of events. In the end, most of those left standing will have some serious belt-tightening to do and that part is likely going to be uglier than the death count itself.
My $0.02 only...
Focus on the contagion rates; while, yes, just contracting it is not an immediate death sentence, going through it is no picnic. One’s state of personal health is a contributing factor, and from my observations, many people aren’t that concerned with that, which means they’re not in the best shape to fight it off. So, if it is spreading, but not necessarily killing(yet), the health care system gets overloaded. Multiple reports of medical supplies that are specifically used for this situation have come in, which indicates a lack of preparedness. Do you have any insurance on anything? How much do you spend? If it is a substantial amount, isn’t that a lot of money wasted on something you’ll never need? Whether you like it or not, this is a global problem, not just one of a single
continent or country. We’re all on one planet.
An event like this, on this scale, has not happened before, so policy is being is being made up on the fly; you’ve heard the phrase, “err on the side of caution”? It works better than “ignore it and it will go away”, which seems to have been the initial reaction. BTW, crap is spelled with a ‘c’.

Part of the problem exhibit A. Please, for the sake of humankind, educate yourself on the issue at hand because you are sorely and dangerously misinformed (or just dense).
Maybe you missed the point that(and I’m not a big fan of it), anyone can push play on a computer, CD player, cassette player, drum machine, whatever, and have a backing track to emote in front of, even if it’s not your idea of ‘emoting’. Holiday Inn lounge/one man bands did it for decades. There has already been acoustic rap...
If you bothered to read up on the facts, 20% of the people who get this wind up in ICU on respirators. That's why Italy's health care system is overwhelmed and why the US' may (some people say absolutely will) be soon. A
700+ people died in Italy from this in the past 24 hours, and it hasn't peaked there. And the US is behind them in the cycle.
You keep repeating "300 deaths' as if this virus is done in the US. You cannot be serious. It's been three weeks since the first death. Swine flu lasted a full year. And this thing is progressing geometrically. On March 7th, someone on TB said there are 340 cases , then calculated the chance of getting it vs. the U.S. population. Guess what? It's March 22nd and we have over 26,000 now. A state-by-state breakdown of US coronavirus cases - CNN
Swine flu killed 12,500 in the US, not 20,000.
The flu does not kill 250,000 per year in the U.S. Interesting how you exaggerate the impact of the flu and swine flu but try to minimize the impact of COVID 19.
Check out the NPR Tiny Desk concerts on YouTube--plenty of hip hop acts have done just that.
Yup.
Even as a fan of well documented conspiracies, this pdf was literally speculation and " that could never happen" statements based on no facts.
People were in the military in the 50's? Surely they were involved.
