That scientist has worked all his life in this field of work and has studied viruses of all kinds. I watched the interview, he seemed pretty balanced and matter of fact, rather than scaremongering or head of the tinfoil brigade. He's on the Joe Rogan podcast... That's enough to know he's a bit of a quack. 35 minutes ago, allwaystired said: Guys they are to hungry for money to cancel it If anything, they will postpone it And remember that health is the most important thing Why would they cancel them? At worst they'd postpone them to later in the year/next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer the question though - postponement becomes pretty difficult I think when the venues aren't out of season sports buildings. It would have to be postponed for a year I'd presume....and I have no idea how far in advance other acts 'hold' the venue (i.e. next years gig slots could already be taken).

allwaystired Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Some interesting quotes from the announcement, that stare pretty clearly that governments need to wake up and take more action..... "Several countries have demonstrated that this virus can be suppressed and controlled," he said. "The challenge for many countries who are now dealing with large clusters or community transmission is not whether they can do the same - it's whether they will." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Can't wait for the revisionist fantasy if everything is cancelled. "They were planning on releasing an album in 2020, but the tour was cancelled and Slash already had Conspirators stuff lined up for 2021..." Just like CD II would have come out in 2016 if only Ron and Tommy hadn't left poor Axl. Why do these "unforeseen circumstances" haunt this band so?

ShadowOfTheWave Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Both UYI and CD were released when the band was not currently on tour, so a tour cancellation is no excuse not to release the album promised by Fermanager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but they could definitely do it for a tour of this scale. Coachella moved to October, so we could see some dates getting put around then.

What a dilemma. Or not. Well, for me it's not anyway. Outside of the high risk groups you are far less likely to catch this and end up on a ventilator than you are to end up on a ventilator on any given day by chance and bad luck. That's even try if you live in Wuhan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiguns Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) The reason for cancellations for many events is the mix of persons (artists, motorsport team personnel, tennis players etc) entering into a country from other countries around the world and then uplifting and moving onto another country with the same personnel in tow. Logistically and from a financial perspective cancelling a musical tour from its inception is in the best interests of the local promotor and the artists themselves. You could not tour, then skip countries with entry bans in place or put personnel at risk of either getting the virus or self isolation in another country. The Formula One community, the promotor of the Australian grand prix and the Australian government have just learnt the hard way by 3 members of two different F1 teams (based in two different countries) being placed in self isolation due to precautions. Those F1 team members are stuck in Australia for 14 days, while the F1 teams travel to Bahrain for the next event a week later.

Uh, no the reason for cancellation of events is that it is more likely for one person to transfer the virus to another the more people around. Here in the US they are cancelling high school sporting events due to the number of people that would be in a small, confined area at one time.

However we may see another outbreak winter/early next year. But depending on how quickly they fast track it we might see a vaccine by then.
