It's quite possible and very likely that they don't know they have the virus because they are either not showing symptoms, or very mild ones. So they go out into public unwittingly sharing germs to those around them. This is happening, I can guarantee it. 37% of those testing positive right now in our state are breakthrough cases. Is anyone getting tested who has already been vaccinated? I do not know. At least those who haven't been vaccinated know if they are or are not contagious if they are tested. All the more reason all should be vaccinated, then you wouldn't have to worry about spreading germs. I'm sorry if I thought you have been infected twice, you could have been and not known it by your statement above. The point is where citizens have been vaccinated the number of people admitted to ICU's and dying from the virus have dropped over 90%. You might think that isn't good enough, but it is better than the status quo, and the only way all of us can go back to normal. If not then the 64 million who have not been vaccinated will continue to extend the suffering of all of us, for decades so you say. P.S. 23 million of those who aren't vaccinated are little children 5 to 11, are you saying they shouldn't be vaccinated? What are you going to do voodoo medicine, have the shaman sprinkle magic dust on them and wave the old chicken foot over their heads? And wild monkeys could have flown out of your butt. What you did was to slander someone. Simple. What you are doing is putting your trust into a vaccine that isn't all that it's supposed to be. That is fine, it's your choice. I just see it differently. I am not saying that at some point that it will pan out to be a great thing. It certainly does do some good, I will agree with you on that. Can you sit there and guarantee on your life, my life and everyone else who receives this shot that at some point there won't be lasting side effects. Maybe the cure is worse than the disease, have you ever thought of that? After I have seen that no long term ills come out of it, then I might be persuaded to get it. Just not yet. Can't you just leave it at that? Or do you want to rule the world your way and we all live in Utopia, where everyone is the same?

I should add "respect" my beliefs.

What about the long term side effects of contracting the virus? The thousands of mini blood clot time bombs already in the systems of millions that have had the virus and survived. Those effects will be with all of us for decades?

And what about the millions of tons of smoke that California sends eastward each year from forest fires from the inability to manage their forests? Maybe you should send some free karaoke shows to make sure that your forestry department can have their funding and not have to use it on things like fighting fires. Yes, I am being a jerk right now, just like you are!!!

I will say it again. Individual rights must end when it affects the rights of other people. Just because you feel that you have a right not to take a vaccine, you don't have the right to give the virus to others and risk their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, period.

It's not until someone is on their deathbed that they wish they had gotten the shot and encourage others to do so. The shot is safe and effective and can keep you from dying. Personally, I would get 100 shots if that's what it took. I have total faith in the vaccine. Here's a tip: There is so much misinformation, lies, and conspiracy theories circulating on line. Anything you read on any of the social media platforms, such as Facebook, is 99% false. It's not a very good place to get your information from. So, don't trust or believe anything from these type of platforms.

Excuse me guys .... the title of this post is "Host With Equipment Failure." What does the corona Virus have anything to do with the topic? Stop hijacking this post and stick to the topic. You are all getting out of hand hijacking topics and turning it to a debate on the virus. Enough is enough already!

It is already plain from the view of the Health Care Insurance companies, that they view the virus has having long term health side effects. That is why, if you switch your health care provider, you have to list Covid-19 if you have had it, as a preexisting condition, and pay a higher premium due to added risk factor.

Stop hijacking this post and stick to the topic. You are all getting out of hand hijacking topics and turning it to a debate on the virus. Enough is enough already! This is sort of woven into the topic, since the host with the equipment failure, contracted the virus possibly while hosting. It is not known how many others he came in contact with, along with his girlfriend. Like it or not bazinga everything right now revolves around covid, and when we can return to normal. Until then there will be little movement from the current status quo.

I like this. Perhaps you can also respect LR's beliefs about hosting a show and not taking payment in return.

Yeah excepting a belief stops when it collides with capitalism, nothing is more important in this country than the almighty dollar. Any sins can be forgiven if you throw a enough money at it. Currently I feel that the virus is causing us to come to grips with our values, that is why so many workers refuse to go back to the oars. They are tired of being slaves to big business, they want a fairer deal. They don't want to support space joy rides for wealthy individuals, while so many are homeless, and hungry.

How can you respect a host whose actions are only hurting the industry and fellow KJ's? Sorry, but is he showing any respect to the hard working KJ's/DJ's who rely on this income for the services they provide? What he's doing is sending a message to these venues that Karaoke/DJ entertainment is worthless and has no value. A message that says; they shouldn't have to pay for these services. What happens after LR decides to pack it in and another KJ/DJ tries to take over. Do you think they're going to pay him or her $150 a night? No, they're not. They're not going to want to pay anything at all because of the precedent that LR started. Because of this, they're going to have a much more difficult time finding a gig that will pay for their services. So tell me... what is there to respect?

So tell me... what is there to respect? They will pay them the $150.00 if they can prove they are worth it. I don't call having a show with less than 20 people tops, worth that type of money. You have to earn respect, it is not a given. You can spin it any way you want, you have to be able to deliver the crowd, which is difficult now because a large segment of society won't get their shots, and get the rest of us unstuck. You keep talking about how much not charging will effect the industry. What about hosts that work without their vaccinations, getting the virus and spreading it to others, how does that look, and effect the industry?

Alan B wrote: How can you respect a host whose actions are only hurting the industry and fellow KJ's? Weird. Kind of how I feel about folks who take decidedly anti-science stances, because they read and agreed with something on the internet written by someone who failed biology in high school. Not you, obviously. You and I clearly agree on that front (and clearly disagree on the volunteering gig front, to an extent--I think it's pointless to help out a dying, failing organization like that, but I also think it's LR's choice to do or not do it.) But if, as to MrScott's point, it is important to respect the opinions of others, it's a little odd that it means "respect my opinions" on something that's a public health situation during a pandemic, but not in a decidedly less important (in the grand scheme of things) situation where one guy in California offers his services for free to a nonprofit in a local market.

I think that mrscott should follow through with his promise and call Elks Lodge No. 1740 and ask them how they value karaoke entertainment and if they'd be willing to pay a host (providing he's outstanding with a good reputation), $150 per night. Should be interesting.
