Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Festival • Page 67

Call me when there's an actual threat

 

If 40-70% of the population is going to get this regardless, can someone please explain to me the point of cancelling all these major events?

 

Fear

 

They just cancelled BNP Tennis Open which is in the same area.

 

The goal is to do our best to elongate the period in between large groups of folks across the country getting sick. Nationwide, our hospitals aren't in any way equipped to deal with even a 5% sudden increase in patients (it's not just beds, but things like breathing machines). In rural areas, they're even less likely to have equipment.

Beyond giving scientists more time to create/test potential vaccines, it also gives the CDC more time to do things like test different populations and hopefully better mitigate the spread from one city to another, which would be hugely helpful from a resourcing standpoint. (Philly, for example, has no known cases yet.)

A major event like Coachella, where kids are coming in from everywhere in the country and then a large portion of them potentially taking the disease back to their communities, could dramatically increase the spread of the coronavirus and lead to literally tens of thousands more deaths in our most vulnerable populations.

 

The fear of liability/bad publicity and being seen as the reason a mass amount of people contract it. I get it as this thing is the biggest news story right now and the majority of the disease in the US right now is on the west coast. Even if the attendee don't get super sick they can spread the disease to vulnerable populations.

I feel like anyone not taking this seriously and more worried about a stupid music festival has the wrong priorities.

 

So my job is letting people take off with no penalty or time taken from them if they are sick cuz of the virus for the rest of March. No prof need so all the lazy ass people will not show up and take advantage of it

 

With Indian wells getting cancelled that’s not a good sign for this imo

 

wouldn't be mad at October

 

I wonder what this means for camp flog gnaw which is usually late October/early November

 

With Indian Wells cancelled there’s no doubt Coachella is being pushed back.

 

I’m always really curious how seemingly random people always “hear strong rumors” and have all these inside sources.

Coachella getting postponed or canceled is not something that casually gets mentioned by legit sources in passing to randos on the internet. Even podcasters.

 

Random people or not, way too many signs are pointing towards this not happening when it’s scheduled for.

 

This is just what it feels like right now...

 

If it gets moved to October it’s competing with acl not that it matters since it’s in a completely different part of the country but shares the same demographic

 

I could handle October. It does complicate things though cus I was still going to go just as a vacation if it was cancelled, but now I guess I'll shift the whole thing

 

Let’s vacation in Coachella I am down

 

Ya I will.. in October!

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

HITS Daily Double : Rumor Mill - HOWARD KING ON COACHELLA AND FORCE MAJEURE

 

not that it matters but disclosure announced a tour and they are touring in la and sf but the Coachella dates are gone

 

99% sure its because they announced their "dj set" tour but Coachella is "live set" or whatever
