Covid-19

Other than a 60 person wedding party infecting over 150 people a few weeks back, Maine's reopening (back in July) has gone surprisingly well. Town was packed all summer, hotels/motels have been full and all the local restaurants had limited indoor/outdoor seating, takeout driving most of their sales. There has been very little increase in cases even with all the out of staters visiting.
It's strange seeing life carrying on like this knowing how dangerous the risk is. But it can be done safely.
Kids go back to school at the end of the month, we'll see how that goes.

Well, it's official. I contracted covid-19 for the second time (test came back positive) :( About 3 months in between the first and second time. I became a little lax after recuperating the first time, mistakenly convinced that I was immune for at least a year. I've been playing a LOT of gigs, and usually the attendees are not diligently following the recommended guidelines. The good news is that the symptoms are less severe this time around - the body aches are about as bad, but the lethargy is not as pronounced, very few chest pains, and I only had one episode of labored breathing (the only symptom that frightens me) lasting about an hour. I've had the symptoms for about 5 days and they are fading quickly. I attribute this to some remnants of antibodies from the first round. This doesn't bode well for a vaccine in my mind, quarterly boosters may be needed to supplement the initial shot. My current fear is that this virus may be here to stay, mutating and lingering like the common cold. That would mean there may indeed be a 'New Normal', that includes social distancing and PPE from here on in. Sure hope I'm wrong about that. Stay careful out there, and keep your guard up...
Jeez I'm sorry Tyler, that sucks! :( Can you wear PPE while you're performing?

It's too bad Tyler got covid again. He's not to blame, a person has to make money. But maybe, just like what happened with the wedding party in Maine, if these venues holding these events followed the right protocol, we wouldn't be passing this around. JC how long are we going to be banging our heads on this.

Canada! Eh? ;)

Congrats. Even though you make sex dull, you are succeeding.

Dull sex? Never! Our numbers have been steadily going up since August and who knows how bad it's going to get with kids returning to school. We have our fair share of covidiots here. They attacked Dr. Tam for being born in Hong Kong claiming she was part of a Chinese conspiracy.

I definitely can, I just haven't. As I stated, I have been really lax lately assuming I was immune from the initial bout of covid. I mean WTF??? It's only been 3 months! I even let women hug me at a few gigs (it was their idea and they were hot.) You can bet your ass that I'll be masked up from now on, and no one gets to touch me (unless they're hot and want to fuck :)) I'll just tell them I've gotten covid twice, that should change their minds. On the bright side, no symptoms yet today except being a little extra tired. Good thing, too, I've got 3 gigs to play this weekend. September is super busy...

Glad you're symptom free today. I wasn't sure if you sang as well played. I saw an infuriating video of a chick invading a performers space, grabbing at him without a mask. I wouldn't appreciate that pre covid. Check out @greg nr link above. They're recommending wearing masks while kissing and having sex lol.

LOL, kissing and the wind up is half the fun of sex; masked then why bother?
