The thing is, no one here is complaining about the cancellation.

Guys, please, read... we’re all quarantined so you have enough time, I beg you.

Not quarantined here. And see below - it stemmed from people moaning the band weren’t doing anything during the down time

Not complaining about cancelling shows. I'm complaining that they don't seem to care about their new music or doing anything besides going through the motions.

So why is it in this thread then? Take it to the album thread. And it did stem from people complaining the band weren’t doing anything during the down time.

Because of the Coronavirus, or just because it’s them?

The coronavirus. Not them. I love them lol. I just don't want to take the risk.

But you were the one insisting it was no big deal. Are you ready to walk back on that now?

It's still no big deal for me. I'm doing the same thing as usual (except I work from home now). I'm just not going to see my parent until all this shit is over.

Then get quarantined asap, get with the latest fashion! The fact that someone else said something - btw, I wouldn’t say anyone was moaning - doesn’t change the meaning of anybody else’s words.

Their semi-retirement is relevant in all threads

Watching this made me a little sad... I was like “don’t laugh at him”. Only I am allowed to do that

So Max Becker just did an acoustic livestream and Cole goes live in ten minutes. Guess I’ll have to rely on his kids’ bands for this stuff.  😢

Was it Max who had the car accident? I don’t follow SWMRS, but I’m happy to see he seems to have got better

Not necessarily. Trump was kind of making those comments offhandedly (go figure).

This story had some additional quotes with a little more context:

Quote

"They think August, it could be July," he said at a press briefing Monday, referring to members of the White House task force. "Could be longer than that. But I've asked that question many, many times."

Quote

Dr. Anthony Fauci clarified these guidelines are for 15 days, not through July or August.

"I think the question that, maybe John asked, 'until July' — the guidelines are a 15-day trial guideline to be reconsidering. It isn't that these guidelines are going to be in effect until July," said Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease official. "What the president was saying was that the trajectory of the outbreak may go until then. Make sure that we don't think that these are solid in stone until July."

And this is really all I need to read to have zero confidence in those statements:

Quote

Meanwhile, the Trump administration still can't say how many Americans have been tested for the virus, or how many tests have been administered.

"There is a number. I don't have that number," Admiral Brett Giroir, an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, said from the briefing podium. 

Despite widespread criticism for the administration's inability to deliver a sufficient number of tests, the president, asked how he grades himself in handling this crisis on a scale of 1 to 10, said, "I'd rate it a 10."

Personally I think even if things are improving by summer people will be so economically affected and trying to get back to normal that they should just scrap the tour and start from scratch in 2021, honoring everyone’s tickets.

Its amazing you still dont quiet get it though the fact you are distancing from your parents shows a little bit of self awareness. Congrats

I'm mexican so I don't understand much 😔 but I am following the California dates for Hella Mega so I'm currently on "stand by" of anything, thinking the best is just to expect changes in everything.

Isn't that a little more problematic? It will be easier to do the normal dates as many people had already considered doing that much spending, rescheduling will be a major (and extra) expense for literally everyone as many people will have already lost money. I don't mind any of those options but for example, I won't be able to attend the dates I was supposed to because I will be out of the continent by then

I think right now the best approach to everything is take it day by day and week by week. 

I will say Canada has done a great job right now with social distancing. I have a cautiously positive outlook right now however, I do anticipate another 2 weeks of closures and little disappointments. 

The more efficient we are at flattening the curve the sooner we can return to business as normal.

Mexico just started all safety procedures today  we are a little (too) late ha. The government is too corrupt and inefficient that I'm sure we could still travel internationally (where allowed) anytime. Hopefully it works out, as even though we all are America, I doubt any contagious rate could be as fast as Europe. For once borders and long distances are for something.
