Can concerts be done safely - BostonCard - 08-23-2020

I have to say, the study is pretty gutsy, but very important.  Basically, researchers at Leipzig by Halle University put on three concerts with young(ish) volunteers (18 to 50 year old) to see what the risks of COVID-19 transmission are.  Hopefully, it will provide info on how to safely be able to restart events such as concerts instead of falling back to either "cancel all events" or "damned the torpedoes".

I saw the Metallica S&M 2 concert's theatrical release some months after the event.  It was really well done and probably equally impressive of an experience minus the long lines, crowded concessions, and physical proximity.  Obviously theaters are still a touchy subject right now, but concert seats in the nosebleed section may not be as great of an experience as a movie experience filmed up close in very high definition.

I hear movie chains are starting operations again soon...oh boy.
