The Dallas International Guitar Show has had its date moved twice and now will be September 25 - 27, 2020. In Texas, new Corona cases have hit 10,000 per day statewide. These events can be a lot of fun and one can perhaps learn something new or acquire a new prospective that can make them a better player. There a plenty of guitar and guitar-related products, and many performances.
My question is, with COVID-19 apparently running rampant, would you attend?Last edited by AlsoRan; 07-19-2020 at 06:28 PM.

Yes

Nope, public gatherings are why this isn't going away.
-
The concern is being indoors with lots of others. I would avoid it but that's just me. If you do go I would recommend wearing an N95 mask - but be warned they're expensive. And I would NOT go into the bathroom at all. And wear gloves.
Lol. Doesn't sound like much, fun does it? It would be better to hold it outside in early November or something. Some things can wait.

Honestly, it's difficult for me to understand how this can even be a question.
What GTRMan said about bathrooms, I assume, has to do with the virus being aerosolized by flushing.

A definite no

moot issue..it's not gonna happen anyway
cheers

Not a snowball's chance in hell. And yes, Abbott will be forced to cancel everything well before then. Babies are dying from the virus down here, close to 100 have been diagnosed in one county, It's not just us old farts who are dying, month-old babies are also, as well as young adults. We're out of hospital beds and morgue space, they're packing bodied into reefers.
-
That would be a big steaming pile of nope for me.
-
I was so looking forward to it this year. But, with the infection rate soaring I am going to have to pass as well.
If they do hold it, I don't think the energy level would be the same anyway since many would be passing on it.
What a year!
-
Absolutely Not. The Philly Guitar show was cancelled in July and it was the right decision. Had they not cancelled it, I wouldn't have attended.
-
Nope, absolutely not. In fact, I'm not planning any trip into the USA given what covid is doing to you folks.
-
No.
-
We had this under control in belgium, or we thought so anyway.
Bars and shops opened again, people acted like everything was normal again and 1 month later it looks like we're at the start of second wave, which is predicted to be alot worse then the first one..
The US is not even on the peak of the first wave.
-
If you believe the numbers, at around 5:41 central time here in the USA, 3,956,988 cases have been found with 143,600 deaths. That puts us at around a 3.6% for the number of people who have died with Corona.
I personally know several people who survived, but have notice some long term effects that have not gone away yet. One fellow, who works delivering and picking up home medical equipment, says he was asymptomatic, but since returning to work after quarantine, now notices his chest getting tight as he hustles to carry the beds and other equipment to his truck.
He told me his buddy runs the COVID unit in Chicago, and they seem to be finding that people who have had the disease show signs of lung abnormalities. I am going to have to follow up on this assertion to see if others have reported the same.
-
I found one article.
NCH doctor not sold on study saying asymptomatic COVID-19 patients have abnormal lung findings
I guess like everything else, we will just have to read around and decide for ourselves whom we believe.

I haven't attended yet (I moved back home to Tejas eight years ago), though I've wanted to. I definitely will not go this year, no matter what, due to C-19.

-
Hard pass.
-
I pick up groceries much like GTRman does, so no contact, no parties, no guitar shows. Wife and I are both high risk and not young. Fortunately we get along and she doesn't mind hearing my increased practice schedule.
