The elephant in the room....Covid and these Pearl Jam shows

davidos

My COVID experience has been pretty humbling… I get it now. I’m healthy, in shape, etc. COVID is a nasty fucker… If you are going to Ohana and you are close enough to smell the people around you, then you are too close period. It will spread outdoors when you are that close. Unfortunately after not seeing my favorite band for 3 years I let the excitement get the best of me and tried to get as close as I could at SHN… it’s a small percentage, but breakthrough does happen. Just get a comfortable n95 and have fun. The whole PJ crew is wearing them so you won’t look like a loser…

Your situations possibility is what has kept me from going to these shows or any football games. How are you feeling?

Very few people wearing masks at Ohana. Wish more people would mask up

I hope anyone with cold symptoms is taking a test prior to attending Ohana Encore...

I think I'd take one even without any symptoms 

Binax at home tests are great.  I did one a week after SHN just to make sure.

I was able to sleep a little deeper last night and today there is less of a feeling of glass shards in my throat. No fever but tired. No taste, no smell. My symptoms have felt like a cold with strep throat. I think I’ve rounded the corner. It’s been 10 days since first symptoms. I can only imagine how it would be if I wasn’t vaxxed. So much for the breakthrough cases being ‘mild… brief  etc. Good news is  NYS is on it with Covid. I was given an Order of Isolation and I will receive a phone interview every day for the next 8 days (2 already). Numbers in US are trending down and the mandates look like they are working. All great signs! F U Covid.

I hope you recover quickly!

And I expect we will keep on lingering in the back this weekend, despite the excitement. I gave up on trying to be cool thirty years ago or so, LOL.

It sounds great in the back too. Plus, you'll have more space to move around.

I will be hanging back there. From the looks of the map, the bleachers aren't really that far back from the stage. I figure standing in front of them or bit closer is going to be close enough. Definitely not like the pictures I saw of SHN where the crowd just kept extending back and back down the beach.

Yup, the bleachers are closer than I thought they'd be. We sat there for a bit on Saturday and the sound was great. Plus, you can see the stage and the giant screens.

As it got more crowded as the day/night went on, was there still room to move around closer to the back of the standing area?

Good to know, I’m likely dropping back after last weekend’s slightly-anxiety-inducing days of holding a spot.

We went pretty early for all 3 days and saw the opening bands. We'd start out close, then just move back as the day went on.

Thanks, I am not sure I want to be packed in with people for hours just yet. Standing near the back with some elbow room will be more in my comfort zone. Plus I won't have to worry about having to save a spot and get back to it every time I need to use the bathroom or grab something to eat.

We probably will be back by the picnic tables again. I'll be the woman who looks like she's dressed for weather 20 degrees colder than it actually is, and my husband will be singing -- very badly. ;-)
