Some of the actors wore gloves and masks and didn't take pictures with fans, but they were still there to sign autographs. The swine flu didn't stop thousands of fans from showing up including my mom and I. The point is you take chances but don't be stupid about it. There will always be some disease out there, just hope and pray we stay healthy. The point this time though is that touring might not actually be an option for the band - the decision may be taken out of their hands by governments.

It isn't a 'fact' that everything will go as planned at all. It might do. It might get cancelled.

DieselDaisy Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Easy for you to say but the death ratio is 14% for over 80s. Governments have a moral duty to protect their citizens. Concerts are just meaningless filler at the end of the day compared to lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAR41 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 1 minute ago, allwaystired said: At present.....it could change at any moment though. Exactly. Why is this so difficult to understand? According to the World Health Organization the Coronvavirus has a mortality rate of 3.4% vs. <1% for the seasonal flu. For the mathematically challenged, let's assume that <1% = 0.99% (it's likely lower than that) then the mortality rate of Coronavirus is at least 243% higher than the seasonal flu. That right there is why there is extreme caution. There isn't a Coronavirus shot like there is a flu shot and it is very contagious. IF it is not contained it has potential to be disastrous.

I'm not even sure why I'm spending time arguing with people with no medical or professional knowledge on a band forum who are telling us that people are over-reacting to coronavirus.

Again no one said it's nothing to worry about. You know there is a spectrum of responses between ignoring it and treating it with some "chicken little"- esque hysteria. For the vast majority of people this will amount to nothing, but everyone should take available precautions to prevent infection as you do with seasonal flu. Not rush to the stores to panic buy and put undue stress on health services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
