    I remember asking my parents if I could go, but they were like "That would be way too extreme for our kids' first concert." and then they started complaining about how expensive the tickets were. It would've costed well over $150 for six tickets, which is pretty much the same price of a concert ticket today, but only for a single person or probably even half of a person.

    • @AnnaLVajda
      @AnnaLVajda Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah well they didn't even take the crisis seriously unlike SARS no containment left borders open etc. Or else they thought it was just going to be a handful of people dead and few billion lost so were not as concerned as they ought to be my reaction would have been the opposite because I remember how scared people were with SARS I lived about 2 hours from Toronto then we thought it might spread and avoided the city. We were relieved when it passed and I went to the show but this corona virus has mutated and seems to know no bounds.

    • @AceofDlamonds
      @AceofDlamonds Před 3 lety

      Firstly, it wasn't a true pandemic. That word is overused cause it's popular now. The SARS coronavirus was much deadlier than the COVID-19 version, but that also somewhat impeded its spread. It absolutely does not work for the 2019 coronavirus because it spread so far so quickly without proper information from China (again). So now those kinds of crowds don't work and we see many people falling ill or even dying from large gatherings, especially places where you are packed shoulder to shoulder.
