No Wayne show this October

[MATTROSE94]

This is unfortunate news. I wish they would just have the show and anyone that is scared can stay home. At this point it looks as though Covid is endemic and will be here forever. Just my thoughts on the matter.

With time (probably by Summer of 2023), the worst of the COVID variants will be behind us and COVID will likely become more like the common cold. By then, we will probably be down to about 25,000 COVID cases per day nationwide and maybe around 500 cases per day in New Jersey. Until then, I don’t think it is a good idea to hold the Mechanical Music Extravaganza unless it was either 100% outdoors (not possible at the usual location) or if it was primarily a Zoom show modeled after the Stanton auctions or Kurt Naucks auction. I would be comfortable going to the California APS show in the meantime however due to the higher vaccinations rates in California and larger venue size that allows for more social distancing.

Unfortunately, this Covid thing has been blown up to the point, where we have terrified people wearing masks while riding bicycles or driving alone in their cars... Bottom line: we are all going to die sometime from something - there are NO guarantees.

If you are terrified - stay home, simple solution and you're protected. If you want a vax, get it, if not that's your choice and the risk is on you. If you got the vax, what are you worrying about (I got mine) - it's either going to protect you or not and who knows what the potential risks are down the road several years from getting the vaccine.

Live your life like today may be your last, since it might be, and quit watching the "news".

Listen to Billy Murray's warning in 1916 prior to the great flu pandemic:

In these days of indigestion it is oftentimes a question
As to what to eat and what to leave alone.
Every microbe and bacillus has a different way to kill us
And in time they all will claim us for their own.
There are germs of every kind in every food that you can find
In the market or upon the bill of fare.
Drinking water's just as risky as the so-called "deadly" whiskey
And it's often a mistake to breathe the air.

Some little bug is going to find you someday.
Some little bug will creep behind you someday.
Then he'll send for his bug friends
And all your troubles they will end,
For some little bug is gonna find you someday.

The inviting green cucumber, it's most everybody's number
While sweetcorn has a system of its own.
Now, that radish seems nutritious, but its behavior is quite vicious
And a doctor will be coming to your home.
Eating lobster, cooked or plain, is only flirting with ptomaine,
While an oyster often has a lot to say.
And those clams we eat in chowder make the angels sing the louder
For they know that they 'II be with us right away.

Some little bug is going to find you someday.
Some little bug will creep behind you someday.
Eat that juicy sliced pineapple,
And the sexton dusts the chapel
Oh, yes, some little bug is gonna find you someday.

When cold storage vaults I visit, I can only say, "What is it
Makes poor mortals fill their systems with such stuff?"
Now, at breakfast prunes are dandy if a stomach pump is handy
And a doctor can be called quite soon enough.
Eat a plate of fine pig's knuckles and the headstone cutter chuckles
While the gravedigger makes a mark upon his cuff.
And eat that lovely red bologna and you 'II wear a wood kimona
As your relatives start packing up your stuff.

Some little bug is going to find you someday.
Some little bug will creep behind you someday.
Then he'll send for his bug friends
And all your troubles they will end,
For some little bug is gonna find you someday.

Those crazy foods they fix, they'll float us 'cross the River Styx
Or start us climbing up the Milky Way.
And those meals they serve in courses mean a hearse and two black horses
So before meals, some people always pray.
Luscious grapes breed appendicitis, while their juice leads to gastritis
So there's only death to greet us either way.
Fried liver's nice, but mind you, friends will follow close behind you
And the papers, they will have nice things to say.........

Some little bug is going to find you someday.
Some little bug will creep behind you someday.
Then he'll send for his bug friends
And all your troubles they will end,
For some little bug is gonna find you someday.
