garfield Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) One set of tracking data, all sourced to the CDC. https://www.ftportfolios.com/common/contentfileloader.aspx?contentguid=7276eeb9-1b05-40f1-a50b-00b2eeedc2af Obviously, housing issues won't end with a vaccine, but I wonder how long it will be before the plexiglass, masks, and Roadrunner "Stand Here" floor dots start filling up landfills. And someone will produce a portable fogger that will be started when members are out on the field at first practice and again after they leave a school. And on buses. "...cleaner than when we got here" could still be the solution to staying in school facilities. Edited August 8, 2020 by garfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 As OP if we can relate Coronavirus info to the topic (which is actually housing BEFORE Coronavirus) fine.

And it's in a charming little town, too (I passed through there once and stopped briefly while returning from a conference to the north). I was quite serious in praising their spirit of innovation, and I totally believe that their fogger works as described; I just wonder whether that actually makes a significant difference. Here's hoping it does. Also I absolutely agree that it may be entirely to drum corps' advantage to take such measures even if they are nothing more than theater. Appearances count for much, and if potential housing sites can be swayed by these things, by all means adopt them. As for the limitations of Wikipedia, if someone has a better general free online encyclopedia that provides basic information on pretty much any subject, by all means point me to it. (Note that page identifies both some advantages and disadvantages of security theater.) Don't know whether it qualifies as news, though, fake or otherwise. In general, I find that when someone throws out the term "fake news," and I ask them to list some news sources they trust, I get no answer. For a lot of people, the term seems to mean "sources that report things I don't want to hear about, even if they're true," but I know you don't think that way and were just using it as a figure of speech. (FWIW, my biggest gripe about the media is the tendency to "both sides" everything. Objectivity is not the same thing as neutrality.) Great sentence.

Fred contends that some sort of 2021 tour is essential - so essential, in fact, that it is worth defying any acute housing challenge and turning the entire DCI activity into a G-7 to achieve it. I contend that the pandemic may not permit drum corps touring in 2021, and therefore, the conversation must include a plan B where touring has to wait until 2022. Are you with me so far? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
