Will proof of Covid-19 vaccinations be required to participate or attend?
There have been articles that have suggested that when the vaccine becomes more widely available, proof may be required to fly. While, that might not cover local attendees, it will screen a large portion of potential attendees out. I've already had mine and have a picture of the record on my phone. Also,just because someone has had a vaccine, does not mean that they can't be a carrier or get COVID (more likely in milder form). So one needs to get used to the idea that there is no absolute going forward and it is also likely that vaccinations will be an annual thing like the flu shot.
You must be kidding.
What if you've already had Covid?
I wonder if we'll just have new strains of Covid every year, like we do with the flu.
I’d love to go as well, and I love Seattle. I do have a few questions. What are the hotel policies on distancing, masking, number of rooms available, etc? Will rooms be cleaned daily or after each audition? Will EVERYTHING be wiped down after each audition? Social distancing, masking and how many people are allowed in a room to audition at a time? Ventilation and filtration in and between rooms? Will one need to provide proof of vaccination? When we care for a potential positive patient in emergency, that room is shut down for at least an hour for thorough cleaning.
As for COVID and vaccines, I’ll keep it brief. How long does immunity last, and how effective is it against the variants? Booster needed in 6 months, 9, 12? What happened to the flu? This last question is asked to make one think.
Oh I forgot, will PPE be made available to attendees?
All these (except the need for frequent cleaning of surfaces, since they are not a significant cause for viral spread) are interesting concerns, but if they are arguments against attending an audio show this July (assuming anyone who wishes to be is vaccinated against COVD19 by then, which appears likely as of today), they are equally valid for not attending an audio show ever. beta-corona viruses will not stop mutating, just as the influenza virus doesn't stop mutating, and there is always Legionnaire's disease to worry about in a hotel or convention center.
Thanks for your input. The problem is that an audio show is a mass gathering and ANY RISK of spread is of concern. This could be a super spreader event if proper precautions are not taken. I would love to have this show be a go, but questions like mine need answers to be safe for everyone to attend.
Ah yes, Legionnaire’s, zebra indeed, but definitely underdiagnosed.
