Who will soon be going to a live concert?

@three_easy_payments:  I think "what death rate is acceptable to remove all the covid policies?", isn't the key question.  The question is, "what is our hospital/oxygen/ICU capacity, including the health and well-being of the doctors, nurses and staff, and what % of those capacities do we need to be at to remove all COVID-19 restrictions and mandates?".  It's really a health capacity issue, and then secondarily a financial issue.  All of us are paying lots of money to treat those that get sick enough to be in the hospital.  Folks with heart attacks, car accidents, etc. are paying with poor care due to over-worked staff and not enough beds.  It all about ability of our system to deliver care.

@thecarpathian- not that I recall, though I know the song. I was blown away the first time I heard him---actually probably one of the last shows we went to before Covid. And this was the first show since Covid. So, that is an honor right there, I think. Man, he's a great stage presence-- I usually try to describe him as an American blue-eyed soul guy---band was superb. 

@docknow   All good points you raise!

@whart ,
First time I heard him, I thought I was listening to a black guy just crushing it with some ’bayou soul’.
And I mean that in a most complimentary way. I feel singers of African descent seem to intone from a deeper part of their soul, and in general bring an emotionally richer nuance to their songs.
I couldn't believe that sound was coming from a young white guy who looks like an extra in a high school football movie....

@three_easy_payments: Thanks!!  Difficult times ...
