    The stuff that always happens at shows will always happens at shows.  

    Anyone who expects people to be compliant at concerts are idiots.  Take care of yourself, keep yourself safe.

    Not certain the point of this post. 

    Are you highlighting that people get COVID. I am a physician and I see patients every day who have it. All the comments after this original post I support. 

    This band brings me joy as do other live venues. If you don't want to attend don't go, why throw an event that is meant to bring joy in a negative context is crazy. 

    Long story short, Enjoy yourself, get vaccinated, mask up, social distance. At the end of the day FIND YOUR JOY.

    If enjoy yourself includes not leaving your house have at it.

    Wise words.
    I am totally avoiding crowds of any size but at this won't, I won't say harsh words against those who do, just implore you to use what my wife like to quote:  "caution, courtesy, and common sense".

    I travelled from Canada to Ohana and never got covid. Unlike you, however, I am vaccinated.

    They didn't mention their vaccination status, how do you know? Was it mentioned somewhere else?

    I too went to Ohana and did not get Covid. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    ^ somewhere else. that person posted in a thread about needing to get covid test to gain entry somewhere (a show?) because there was not a vaccination proof provided instead. Damn selective memory
