QuoteHairball Thanks for the review. I have tickets to see him with my wife at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara on Oct. 9th - right near the front! He's always been a class act, and his musical history goes WAY back. Great singer, great songwriter, great photographer, etc., etc., etc. Agreed. Enjoy the concert. You do wonder why Keith can't (or won't) do these small gigs

Singapore has been rightly praised for its quick and decisive action as regards COVID 19.

I am not sure it helps to compare Europe with the USA. Europe is composed of 50 autonomous sovereign territories plus 6 smaller countries with 'limited recognition' and other dependencies eg Isle Of Man. The USA has 50 states (now that is a coincidence) who 'report (?) to The President of the USA. Some of the European countries are members of the EC: 27 currently plus the UK now

Whist people in some countries seem to be preparing exit strategies on the belief that their 'peak' has passed, spare a thought for Singapore who were one of the first countries affected by the virus. They have not gone into full lockout but early on put in some very practical measures eg travel restrictions. BUT check the figures of new daily cases: From 16 March: 17/23/47/32//47/23
