That's correct, bv. It appears that corona type viruses are weather independent. The other famous ones are SARS and Ebola. Tropical or moderate conditions, they felt happy. The big uncertainty is indeed when corona meets the "regular" flu virus. A totally unknown, worrying event, capable of creating medical chaos. I hope not off course.
Concerning Keith's remarks ... "after all, it worked for Ghost Town" could be too optimistic. That song happened to fit very nicely into this whole corona situation, giving it that special extra touch.
Others songs that don't have that special advantage may require very powerful commercial attention by Universal and I have my serious doubts there. But ... who knows?
The band has been "struggling" with the creation of a new album now for quite a while, so I think most of us "can live with another year" (with some fun stuff, like Scarlet, etc. in between).
Besides, with the latest high level technology, remote live ("studio") jamming is well within reach. So the band could give that a try first.
Maybe they do't want to risk getting sick and possibly dying. They don't need the money and it is not a priority in their lives. Maybe they want to just enjoy their lives and families.
Comparing this to the NBA or baseball is quite different and in both of those cases athletes had the option of opting out. In this case it seems Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie are opting out. It is their call.
Maybe they could stick with the theme...next songs could be called:
- (I Can't Get No) Vaccination ....
- Waiting on a Vaccine....
- Sympathy for the Virus
Or maybe not such a good idea....

They are happy with LIAGT because the song went viral, over 9 million views for the video on Youtube, it charted in over 20 countries, it reached #1 in Germany, almost reached the US Hot 100 selling over 30k digital copies and it reached #3 on the US Rock chart.
That's the best result for any rock band on this days, better than many current rock bands, let alone a legacy act, it is only 1 song that has sold over 100k digital/physical copies worldwide and has good streaming numbers.
Yeah they're old....VERY old in fact...but it's really hard to think of them as those who live at nursing homes and homes for elderly. In the context of the high risk involved with the coronavirus, yes they definitely fall in to that dangerous category, but aside from that there's no wheel chairs, walkers, night gowns, slippers, etc., in sight. In that sense, they're seemingly superhuman, and hopefully we'll be able to see them perform together some day...even just a one off w/no audience...in a small club...they could make it a pay/per/view. Even just to be able to hear one more time from an announcer...."Ladies and gentlemen...the Rolling Stones"!

The elderly in the U.K. are no-longer required to shield.
Life's just a cocktail party on the street
Being afraid to fly doesn't mean he is isolated. If that was the case 2/3 of the world's population would be constantly isolated. Not because they are afraid of flying but rather because they hardly ever do.
Wyman may be isolated. But that has nothing to do with flying. Of course.
The elderly are to be found out-and-about, now. Then again, I hardly expect Bill Wyman to be spotted out, buying a loaf of bread. Pandemic, or no pandemic.
Yes clearly - I was just saying it's hard to "Think of the Stones as those who live at nursing homes and homes for elderly"... When I think nursing homes and homes for elderly (where I've had relatives reside in the past), I tend to think of ailing old folks incapable of caring for themselves - sometimes dependent on wheelchairs or walkers, or sometimes bed ridden, etc., etc., etc. In that sense, it's hard to imagine any of the Stones in that category.
But obviously because of their old age, they're in the high risk category, and they're probably all safely isolated from any threat while surrounded by the comfort of close family.

Well we know that Jagger exercises, Keith is fed up with drinking, and Ronnie is Clean and Charlie is Slim and Trim with arms of steel. Darryl- not sure if he is big-boned or works out. He is smart so I think he is ok plus he is younger. Overall we have positive signs -
Seriously, some folks have big bone skeleton structures and 5 -10 pounds is nothing to them and unnoticeable. On the other hand, people that are ...for example 5-7 or 5-9 gain 5 lbs it looks like they gained 20.
This is from observation only.
Not sure the virus really cares. Minimizing exposure to people who have the virus is the key to living. Touring is not conducive to limiting exposure. Until there is a safe and effective vaccine and therapeutics that are effective I can't see an insurance company underwriting the tour. As we know, they can put the kibosh on any tour even if the band wants to move forward.
You must have missed Living In A Ghost Town. So, no matter what they do (or not do), they won't fade away with Blue And Lonesome
They won't fade away. They are just opening a shop in London for their upcoming releases. Will they ever perform live again is an open question, but we will be treated with whatever kind of releases in upcoming years. The 60th Anniversary will be a major event, for sure.

'Ghost Town' definately worked for The Rolling Stones.
I'm sure if they can get another 'one track wonder', as opposed to a full album in these troubled times, they will have pleased fans all over the world ,as well as new fans who may think 'this is a really good song' .

Covid-19 does not care about summer or winter. It is all over the globe. Example: Iceland has average summer temperature 10–13 °C (50–55 °F). They have the same covid-19 challengers as all others. Indoor is more trouble than outdoor. Winter in the northern hemisphere i.e. in USA/Canada, Europe etc will be more trouble because more people will be indoor, and also the flu season is starting then.
It is hard to do a show or a recording with people 2-3 m i.e. 6-9 feet apart and also max 5-10 people in the room. Keith and Mick do understand this, so Keith is saying this in the Uncut Magazine October 2020 edition, where they look into may be releasing separate tracks rather than an album.

They could even practice CDC guidelines in a studio. The NBA with 25-40 on the court and sideline s in all seem to being ok along with Baseball.

Plus security, catering, runners, pizza delivery, family members, guitar makers, guests, all those who are parts of great recording sessions. With Keith in CT USA and Mick in France I can't really see that happening.
The Rolling Stones are age 70's i.e. high risk vs Covid-19. Baseball players and football players are in their 20's and their 30's max, they are at very low risk.
Think of the Stones as those who live at nursing homes and homes for elderly - you don't arrange large parties with external guests in nursing homes these days.

Wyman was at risk not only due to old age but also due to the fact that he has COPD. Not in a more serious stage, but all the same it's a Cronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Due to smoking.

There is much talk here about overweight being a risk factor for Covid-19. Apparently already after a BMI plus 25. Even for younger people.

I hereby regret to inform that there is actually no future for THE ROLLING STONES as they are almost 80 years. They are done in last year. So folks, just enjoy albums of THE ROLLING STONES, starting from debut album till Blue and lonesome there last album. As someone posted in other thread which I agree that their first album was a cover album, and their last was also a cover album. That is a great way to fade away.

There is an interview with Ronnie in The Times today in which the inevitable question is asked - Will the Stones tour again? His reply, “Oh yes, that’s what we do. We are a touring band and we miss it. We miss being together as a band.”
They plan to resume their No Filter tour once the pandemic subsides.
Ronnie continues “But right now, until we can get going again, we are staying in contact and just hanging in there doing our own things.”
Let’s hope this does indeed happen.
