Live shows contain so many moving parts that have to be going perfectly (or near perfectly) in tandem that right now it’s less risky to postpone vs. hope 1/4 of your crew or talent isn’t sick, stranded somewhere, or lacking tools.
If you decide to plow ahead and then have to cancel at the last minute, you’ve either lost your investment or have to pay significantly
more to bring everyone back for a second attempt at a later date.
People trying to move ahead with live performances right now need endless budgets and sub lists, along with guarantees that airlines, restaurants, drivers, hotels, and various gear suppliers (etc., etc.) can be counted on.
Not to mention: you also have to be able to get through all of the rehearsals leading up to the event with enough personnel available and without outbreaks.
On par with having to cancel at the last minute would be putting on a horrible show due to lack of rehearsal, or even having safety issues (which could happen w/out sufficient crew and/or rehearsal).

Just received a completely unnuanced survey from the school district. To me the question at hand is along the lines of “our water lines are about to burst. Would you rather have a planned temporary shut-off, or do you prefer to let them explode without warning?”
And then sending out a survey: “do you want your water shut off? Reply A for yes and B for no.”
Then, when the pipes inevitably explode because policy is set based on the survey, say it’s the plant workers’ fault you don’t have any water.

I agree with this 1000%. Proactively managing something isn't the same as "living in fear" or being "addicted to the pandemic." Failure to plan/manage something like this is a plan to fail.
How I am planning:
-anticipating that our entire household will likely get COVID in the near future, and thinking of how to deal with that disruption on a household level.
- expecting that stores may be closed or extremely low on things.
-Cincinnati is already in a state of emergency due to a COVID-driven shortage in our fire departments. For now we'll hold off on riskier activities (think ice skating, anything that we're not super great at and the chance of injury is high)

IMO, it's because vaccinated people have taken this seriously all along, including the long COVID that can come regardless of severity of initial illness. Also: don't know anyone who wants to spend the holidays sick, even if it's mild, even if you don't have much planned.
I'll get it. I've accepted that. Doesn't mean I *want* to get it. So I do things like wear a mask here in the code purple sea where I live, to avoid guzzling it while picking up groceries or mailing a package. And put off things that involve large crowds of people, for now.
Up until my kids were vaccinated, I was worried about getting it and then giving it to them. I will continue to be worried about friends/family who have immune issues whose worlds are once again more dangerous.

Interested to know what preparations she has in mind. I personally am preparing for major disruption of goods and services, just by how bad things already are where I live, the sheer number of under/un-vaccinated, and how many people are actively ignoring it.
Many things constantly out of stock, and items I ordered 6 weeks ago not due to arrive until the end of January. Customer service email: “we’re short staffed b/c of COVID and can’t answer you.” That’s all pre-Omicron.
So I’m expecting this 👆🏻but much worse.

For those who enjoy comparing COVID to car crashes or whatever, be sure you account for all said car crashes happening at once in your calculations.
Ask yourself if a large percentage of your staff or the city were all in a car crash at the same time, if that might affect health care or society at large.
Imagine also that all you have to do is get stuck with a needle a couple of times to prevent car crash except a whole bunch of people are like "nah, I'll take my chances and I guess the rest of you should look out!!"

Hey, know how Facebook understands that negativity gets the most traction and thus built themselves to leverage that fact? Do you suppose politicians who wear/say/do absolutely outrageous/dumb/offensive things understand this and leverage it too?? 🧐
Reminder: there’s always the option NOT to help them get top rankings.
“How can I get the conversation steered away from my shady behavior?”

“I know!”
