OwlChemist81 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Well, THIS just happened: It's suspected that despite being vaccinated, the pair may have caught breakthrough cases of Delta Variant COVID. If so, this resurgence is quickly getting real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Definitely totally 100% not reason to panic at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I'm not sure what the logic behind vaccinated people who test positive cancelling appearances is because unvaccinated people can sure infect each other much easier. Perhaps there is a sense of altruism in not wanting to knowingly contribute to the outbreak, even if your potential "contribution" is small compared to some of the untold masses of unvaccinated yahoos attending these big conventions who can infect each other in about a minute with this new Delta variant. So, by deductive logic, it's probably NOT a COVID issue, but it can't be ruled out either. Edited July 22, 2021 by OwlChemist81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR maybe it's a Them thing and they're just not feeling well enough to go to a public event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 It's literally none of our business what their vague health reasons are. These people are actually complete strangers to us. Stop being weird and speculating on it, it's creepy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) You're sort of right. The spread of COVID-19 does concern us all, though perhaps less than when we didn't have the vaccine. Just for the record though, I HAVE met Steve. And if it helps, Paul Janeway of St. Paul and the Broken Bones cancelled a show last night in my neighborhood due to ALLERGIES. They're BAD this year, and even though I take a daily Claritin, they still mess with me. So it could be that's what it is. At any rate, I hope, COVID or not, Steve and Mary get well soon!

Sketch Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Wearing a mask has help make my allergies quite a bit more tolerable this year. So that’s nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ever since I read a blog about the horror stories at conventions on the old That Guy With The Glasses website years ago, I had no interest in going to anime conventions, and never went to one. Back then, things that were listed included B.O. of attendees, girls brandishing yaoi paddles, and "con flu." I imagine it would be worse to have covid running around as the "con flu" as opposed to a cold going around or something. I remember a friend and I were going to go to a convention a couple years ago, but the cost of admission was ridiculous, and for z-level guests! We wouldn't have had any money left to buy anything! So yeah I've never been to an anime convention and sure as hell wouldn't go to one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Was Lucky enough to get to go to Fan Expo Dallas in 2019(got several MHA Autographs as well as the autograph of bryce papenbrook the va of eren jaeger) but yeah it's iffy thinking about going to conventions now...although that just really makes me feel bad for the voice actors because they lose out on a good chunk of cash without conventions being a voice actor for dubbed anime isn't that profitable and as a result you usually make more money from appearing in one random commercial for something like mcdonalds than you do actually voicing a character in several seasons of an anime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is odd that VAs still don't make much voicing characters for anime with what big business localized anime is these days? I would've thought their pay would increase by now. So yeah the rest of the money they gotta get from conventions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the ones in BROTHERHOOD have done that by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
