Sucks, but whatever, could you even imagine having an event his summer with 200,000+ people in a single day?!
(BTW, >80% of the fatalities in Minnesota are from nursing home and long term care patients. Not sure about overall cases... But still it's not like you are walking down the street and everyone is COVIDing all over each other.. )

With vinyl records making something of a comeback, I keep hoping people will take the next logical step and rediscover critical listening and high-fidelity stereo.
Turntables plugged into home theater systems? Pfft. I once had a quad system from the '70s and will never be convinced that you can install any kind of "surround" system into anything but a purpose-built room. And even then, only one very-precisely-located listener will hear the programming reproduced as intended.

The New York Philharmonic has canceled its fall season over the coronavirus pandemic.
The Lincoln Center symphony orchestra announced Wednesday all concerts through January 5, 2021 will not happen, a decision made to ensure the safety of both fans and artists.
“While the New York Philharmonic deeply regrets having to cancel our fall concerts, we had no choice,” President and CEO Deborah Borda said in a statement. “Our number one concern is the health and safety of our audiences, musicians, and employees.”
Borda added that “it has become very clear that large groups of people will not be able to safely gather for the remainder of the calendar year due to the COVID-19 pandemic” and the decision was made in line with “New York State government regulations, along with the advice of medical experts.”
The New York Philharmonic says it hopes to continue with live performances beginning on January 6, 2021, but next year’s programming is subject to change.
Though it typically performs at David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center, the Philharmonic is “exploring options for concerts in smaller gatherings when possible,” according to the press release.
For fans eager to hear music, the orchestra will be sharing broadcasts of past performances along with special videos featuring musicians through NY Phil Plays On.
The New York Philharmonic is just one of many beloved Big Apple arts and entertainment organizations canceling its season due to COVID-19. Fellow Lincoln Center staples including the American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera already canceled their upcoming seasons. Broadway shows also shut down all production until further notice and countless TV shows and movies were delayed or canceled.
Since the WHO has just declared non/pre-symptomatic transmission “very rare” why doesn’t the NY Phil test it’s musicians, check the temperatures of audience members and proceed??
NYC is in self destruct mode. It’s a shame.

I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.
