Strange. Oh wow you and your friends in your particular area in your particular country are ok so that means everyone in the world is ok! Better tell all the people still getting covid, suffering in hospital with it or dying from it that there's nothing to worry about. Btw does this have anything to do with covid rules at Green Day shows? All I'm seeing is people pointlessly coming to the thread trying to provoke a reaction. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean "Covid/vaccine rules at shows" is the title of the thead and we have a General Chat thread for general covid discussion so not really. Do you think having covid discussion completely take up the Hella Mega Tour thread plus other show threads would be better? If people (eg you ) could not just pointlessly post to start an argument and instead only post if there's something to discuss about show rules it would be fine.

EmmaCharlatan&Saints Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I do find it odd that he entire crew and bands etc of the tour need to be vaccinated but the crowds can be vaccinated/unvaccinated, masks not mandatory etc. All it takes is for a crew member to test positive and the whole show grounds to a halt. Is testing required for any of these gigs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Ok, so I’ve been reading the last few pages and let me just be clear, factually speaking I am 100% with @Christian's Inferno! @Hermione @EmmaCharlatan&Saints etc. and I do also very much understand that this topic brings up strong feelings in people, especially those who may have lost loved ones due to Covid. However, it does make me sad to see (and this is not so much GDC I’m talking about, but general society) that discussions surrounding this topic tend to escalate so quickly. It seems everywhere things are becoming more and more polarised in our public discourse, to the point where there are already literally examples of married couples who have polar opposite political stances (not just on covid, but in general) and even read/follow entirely different news sources. Must make for some very interesting discussions at the breakfast table… Anyway, I too have felt being trapped in the anger of some other (more or less) random stranger on the internet, or worse, an actual family member simply not listening to reason or anything I had to say, but rather firmly remaining in their ways. On the other hand, I have also caught myself not wanting to listen to what the other side had to say or to somewhat understand where they might be coming from. Sure, often it’s a case of people just being downright ignorant, but other times it’s also other underlying fears or life-changing experiences that have come to shape their beliefs. What I’m trying to say here is, do NOT give up on your beliefs or stance, but maybe understand that the last year and a half has been truly awful for everyone on so many levels, so try to be civil. People are, very understandably, incredibly tired of this shit and I really don’t blame them… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day have enough for twenty lifetimes but it's not like they are the only ones on tour with no rules in place. I think we'll start seeing shows postponed in the Fall if the numbers keep rising steadily across the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the numbers are going to rise long-term because this recent surge has caused a significant increase in people getting vaxxed. With the current vaccination rate and the number of unvaccinated people who will end up positive, I think the Delta wave won't be super long. But you know what would totally blow that all out of the water? A new, even more communicable variant that doesn't respond to the vaccine. Then there would be another surge of that one. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I heard on Facebook that one of the people who got on stage with the band this tour refuses to be vaccinated. Kind of disrespectful I think. Could put the tour in jeopardy for everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't want to take the risks they should have applied a vaxx rule in the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slave To The Network Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 Wow, that sucks. People suck. If you truly respect and love Green Day, why would you lie about not being vaccinated to get on stage and potentially put them at risk? That's such selfish thing to do. It's so amazingly nice of them to be bringing fans on stage at all on this tour and to take advantage of that kindness and trust is just awful. They don't owe us that - it's a privilege and if things go south because of a handful of assholes they can take it away and then nobody gets to have fun. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRNSTR10 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Hate to be the one to ask, but have there been any reports of folks who attended those first few Hella Mega dates and have confirmed COVID cases? I'm curious because on the Reddit page for the Rolling Loud music festival that was held near the same date, lots of folks have been posting about feeling sick and testing positive (vaxxed and unvaxxed).

These events, like life in general, are proabably never going to be 100% free of covid. If that's the end goal we won't see gigs for years, it's about risk management at this point, if the vast majority of people are vaccinated and tested regularly there's not much more we can do.

Popular Post Christian's Inferno! Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just make vaccine required for attending these shows.

Many other people would have done the same thing just to met and/or hug Billie Joe. It's selfish but in the moment you just want to be on stage with your idol.

Popular Post Beerjeezus Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 who would have thought that asking one person out of several thousands if they’re vaxxed might not cut it as covid precautions for the entire tour 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where you're coming from but there are millions of people who have autoimmune diseases who don't respond as well to the vaccine (not all of them old people by any means).They've already been prisoners in their own homes for 18 months but it will be a while until they can go about life as normal and in normal times they lead completely normal lives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
