In 3 weeks to the hour I should be deplaning in Ottawa to prep for the show the following night. 

FUCK OFF COVID-19! Go away, mane!

Sad. In three weeks almost to the hour, I should be arriving home from Newark having just flown home from Toronto for the kickoff show the night before.

I didnt hear that. Patients are getting this virus a second time?

Yep : https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/27/japanese-woman-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-for-second-time

Coronavirus: Japanese woman tests positive for second time

Tour guide had been given all-clear but then developed a sore throat and chest pains

Cases of second positive tests have been reported in China. The outbreak has spread rapidly and widely, infecting about 80,000 people globally and killing nearly 2,800, the vast majority in mainland China.

“Once you have the infection, it could remain dormant and with minimal symptoms, and then you can get an exacerbation if it finds its way into the lungs,” said Prof Philip Tierno at New York University’s school of medicine. He said much remained unknown about the virus. “I’m not certain that this is not biphasic, like anthrax,” he said, meaning the disease might appear to go away before recurring.

Something is off with this story:
"She first tested positive on 29 January and was discharged from hospital after recovering on 1 February, before testing negative on 6 February."

SO she tested positive and they release her 2 days later, before testing negative on 2/6? Something doesn't add up, so I'm not too concerned about this story and the ability to re-infect.

how how about this, if your sick DONT come to the shows. If your a moron who is coughing, stay the fuck home. If you have a fever, stay the fuck home. If you are gunna sneeze, cover your fucking face. Is that clear? If you have any questions just let me know.

People cough when they have the common cold.  You expect people with colds to stay home from Pearl Jam?  Calm down.

No

So basically 2007 was the only good year to be alive.

No.  PJ only played 2 shows in the US.

There is zero chance this affects the tour. 

Quoted for posterity 

the souvenir you kept your hou

...so, Switzerland has imposed a ban on public events that gather more than 1,000 people together in the same place until at least March 15 in response to the coronavirus threat.

Hopefully all will be under control by summer :-/

I’m bringing a Box of P100 fitted masks and rocking out 😂😂😂😂😂😂

An N95 is just as useful and less intimidating.

I’m a health and safety consultant. I’ll take my own advice 😎

I wonder if work will allow me to borrow their SCBA's for this tour. Bottles only last 20 minutes though.

The number in a rating tells you the minimum amount of airborne challenge particles the mask protects against: an N95 mask keeps out at least 95% of particles but isn't oil resistant, and a P100 mask is oil proof while protecting the wearer from at least 99.8% of particles.

A dust mask isn’t going to protect you from a virus. A P100 will protect you to particles the size of .1 to .3 microns. It’s the small stuff that will get you 👍

Longer if you really slow your breathing haha. Think of it though, you are also protected from a potential H2S release, which is the dude in front of you in GA with a gas problem (happens ALL THE TIME)

I wish with all the coverage on the news and the "panic" in the world today that this thread would shut down and people would stop talking about it.

I was being sarcastic. But I get your point. Ignore the media. 

Go to the World Health Organization for the facts.

Some quotes from the CDC today: 

"Disruption to everyday life might be severe," says Dr. Nancy Messonnier. She said she told her children this morning, "While I didn't think they were at risk right now, we as a family ought to be preparing for significant disruption to our lives.”

 "The data over the last week and the spread in other countries has certainly raised our level of concern and certainly raised our level of expectation that we are going to have community spread here."  
Outlook for coronavirus in the U.S.: CDC is "preparing as if we are going to see community spread in the near term," says Dr. Messonnier on media call. 
U.S. CDC: "We can have community spread in the United States and have it be reasonably mild, we can have community spread in the U.S. and have it be very severe. So that's what we don't completely know yet." 
U.S. CDC: "We're asking folks in every sector, as well as people within their families, to start planning for this, because as we've seen from the recent countries that have had community spread, when it hit in those countries, it has moved quite rapidly." 
Audio of the briefing = https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/t0225-cdc-telebriefing-covid-19-update.mp3

So now the CDC is expecting community spread In North America, and preparing for it near term. They're telling people to begin preparing for this, and to be ready for possibility of significant disruption to their lives. 

I'm not saying any shows will definitely cancelled, however IF community spread gets fairly widespread as the CDC is now preparing for, we absolutely will see cancelation of events involving mass gatherings in affected communities. IF THAT HAPPENS, There is a good chance that will include PJ shows. 

Fingers crossed things slow down over in Europe, and our excellent medical systems in North America are able to keep spread to a minimum.... It's been a long time since I've been this excited for a run of shows, and have thousands tied up in travel/show expenses. 

I hate to be a downer, but there was just a reported case of the virus in CA that was labeled community spread as the infected individual did not travel abroad or have any direct contact with another infected person. I’m not panicking or keeping myself locked in my house, but this case is a stark reminder that we should all be aware and not take things too lightly. Wash those hands people and if you’re feeling sick....get checked out and stay home!!

This happened in a city just north of where I live, and it is about a 30-40 drive to Oakland from there. Good thing I'm not in a workplace where the virus could spread quickly like a classroom... Oh wait.
