as with pretty much everything saying "X is happening in the USA" is just a false statement on the face. The country is too big. Houston has obviously not done a good job. Florida has obviously not done a good job. Even if you extrapolate Houston to Texas (which is dumb), you still have 48 states.
But the ICU bed thing is another one of those statements that is false on its face. The Dakotas (yes, plural), have no trauma centers. Those people come to Minneapolis. It's easy to social distance when there's one person per square galaxy though.
For the last couple of months, I have been hosting a Quarantine #Music Chat. I am not going to post weekly topic updates here, but this week the topic is #netlabels, which seems like a topic that might interest people here.
THE DETAILS The chats are at noon US Central (currently UTC-5). This is in part to accommodate both the US west coast and Viktor Van River in Kazakhstan.
Password: kazoo (although I am not sure this actually works...I think maybe the first one in the room can set a password and then if you leave the password is gone. It seems weird)...I feel like going public with a password will still help against bots. idk.
Although many (though definitely not all) of the people in the group are CC Community Music Awards judges, the chat topics are not limited to Creative Commons music.
A DIFFERENT TIME? We have had people in Japan and in Eastern Europe ask about a different time. I would love for someone to host a different time, so if noon on Sundays US Central does not work for you, you can use the Jitsi room we have and the facebook group, and people can pick the time they like. If someone wants to coordinate a time through Diaspora, go for it. Just don't pick something close to noon US Central. I can post the time to the facebook group in case others want to join.
WHEN WILL IT END? I don’t know how long we will do this. The NBA starts back July 30. MLS is back July 8. European matches have already started back. There’s a “complete” list for sports at https://nu.federati.net/url/271049
Idk how much the chat crowd overlaps with the sports crowd. I know we have one MLB fan who is a regular attendee. Sports, I think, are much more TV-driven than music. If you want to listen to music at home, you can just go to Jamendo.com or blocSonic.com. You don’t need an event like sports do.
I suspect we will keep going as long as people are willing to show up. I suppose at some point we might have to change the name…
JULY! I had originally planned to not attend in July, but my plans for July have changed some. I will definitely be out July 12. I will probably try to come on July 5 as I suspect attendance will be low due to holiday weekend.
