The Other Lollapalooza?

Last edited Fri Aug 20, 2021, 07:35 AM - Edit history (1)

With all the talk about Lollapalooza and President Obama's birthday as possible Covid super spreader events (or not), I'm surprised no one has brought up Tony Bennett's last concerts at Radio City Music Hall. 12000 people attending over two nights, all vaxed, according to the news report l read very few masks were worn. Everyone jammed together for an hour and a half in the tight quarters of the Music Hall.
It's been two weeks and nothing in the papers about a resultant Covid outbreak. Does it mean anything? I don't know. Bill, Hillary and Bernie Sanders all attended and survived in tact. I guess I should have tried to get a ticket.

vaxxed and went out to dine in at various restaurants. (We have always gone out masked as were
most of the people we encountered.) Now with this Delta variant (and others) hitting us in July I'm not willing to risk getting even a mild infection. Everyone is free to do as they wish but I plan to make sure that myself and mine will survive.
