But if Italy's curve is only just now beginning to bend, and ours is currently much steeper than theirs (and yes, some portion of that is due to increased testing), we're some ways off from being able to loosen our social distancing restrictions. More fake news. 1. No one is saying that today is the day to relax our social distancing. 2. But someone did "forget" to include China on that graph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they look past the big time tour model as the one and only thing to be I agree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the national tour, it's nothing but summer local marching band, and very few of the best performers are going to bother with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, let me be the one to say that Great! We're at this number a full six days SOONER than Italy got to this number. That's GREAT news! We'll be done with it that much sooner! And, yes, I'm looking at the economics. The CDC would just as soon drag this out as long as possible so they can get as many test cases as possible through the health system in order that they may get enough data and samples in order to fabricate an antivirus. Economically, it's MUCH better to pull off the bandaid and NOT #flattenthecurve (bwahahahaha!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public may be a little paranoid about communal situations for a while. Just thinking out loud. The little voices in my head are getting pretty interesting after a week of social distancing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Just now, Poppycock said: Yep! tour model needs restructuring. Big question for me will be economy and how that affects ticket sales. Also if this will really tighten up housing and show sites. And will ticket prices go up which will affect number of tickets sold. Know some senior corps and shows that folded during hard times in the 80s so always on my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey. You need to get all those people in your head smashingly drunk and then, one by one, roll them out to the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
