A Grateful Dead cover band's shows in Santa Cruz County may have resulted in a COVID-19 outbreak, infecting all its members and much of the crew present.

This is what passes for medical news these days. A Greatful Dead cover ban becomes ill after a concert series. The Los Angeles-based band Grateful Shred played two shows last weekend at the Felton Music Hall in Felton, a small town in Santa Cruz County. It "may have resulted in a COVID-19 outbreak" or maybe too much Ripple. 300 people attended the shows and four people in over a week have tested positive for COVID which would be 0.01 percent of those there. No deaths, no hospitalizations, no actual medical corroboration. Bt according to the news folks you need to wear your masks. I say MUCK FASKS.

I blame the illegals.

[Turbo Pig]

I blame the illegals.

Uh-uh...dirty hippies.

[foundedonpurpose]

Sure it did… That and anything else they can possibly blame.

Dead Heads are now Dead?.......................

Not enough Reds, vitamin C, and cocaine

I'm still waiting for the big outbreak from the 800,000 Trump supporters that flooded Washington DC on January 6 with no masks and no social distancing.

Then again, there weren't that many smelly, dirty hippies that were there that day, except for those few that were working with BLM to stir up trouble.

Our oldest son (the union carpenter) plays keyboard for a Dead cover band. Our biggest concern is him getting a contact high. Some of his jobs drug test!

The vaxxed are Super Spreaders. New series coming...

"The Walking Vaxxed"

Only a direct shot thru their viral-loaded noses will kill the Walking Vaxxed!

All a FRiend can say is ...ain’t it a shame.

[freeandfreezing]

You are right. And the band should be ashamed of their poor attempt at recreating a Grateful Dead concert. In the old days a Grateful Dead concert was likely to be the source of outbreaks of many communicable diseases, as well as days of lost productivity due to hangovers, bad trips, etc.

But tens of thousands of infected illegals coming in to the country and being sent to Red states has no effect.

Don’t take the brown acid.

[xp38]

And apparently not so grateful.

[ameribbean expat]

a real Dead cover band should recognize Shakedown Street when they see it.

Riding that Train high on Covid...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Lol…nice.

Maybe time to update the lyrics: “Not enough vaxes, vitamin C, and face masks”

Keep on truckin’

[FreedomPoster]

LOL, beat me to it!

[Vaquero]

Drivin’ that tram high on Wuhan.

[Vaquero]

Double tap. Don’t be stingy
