Wow. I can't believe it lasted this long. Isn't everyone's first apartment in the area in that neighborhood?

A gut punch. And sadly, more restaurants and such sure to come. I am afraid to scan the local news nowadays, as a result.

Gee, can Paradise just down the street hang on, hopefully? Please?

Sad. I expect this will not be the end of this type of news. What will live shows even look like when we get back to "normal"

IDK but I've pretty much written off 2020, short of a miracle happening.

Something that’s confused me about all the coverage of COVID-19: after the pandemic has run its course, why wouldn’t we go back to normal? People certainly weren’t still fretting about the Spanish Flu in 1922. (Least I don’t think they were?)

I think Live Nation has enough money to weather this.

I think you can probably add 2021 to that.

It may end up being seasonal like the flu, and it could be a situation where a new vaccine is needed each year. If that's the case, we might not ever be able to get completely back to the (pre-COVID-19) normal that we know.

Too many unknowns at this point. But these types of gatherings will be the last thing to return to normal.

I try to remain optimistic for 2021, but like you said there are way too many unknowns at this point. Impossible to predict right now.
