re: New Orleans is a ghost town

Things were starting to hop again in early August around Satchmo Fest, but it does seem like the recent round of restrictions have slowed things down considerably. I know that in the broader world (not so much on this board) there are a range of opinions on what to do in response to COVID, but it does bother me that Cantrell just has to be on the more restrictive side of whatever is being discussed. We now have vaccines. Encourage people to take them. Allow private businesses to set their own rules and allow individuals to make to their own riske-based decisions. If you're unvaxxed or immunocompromised or whatever, your calculus may be different, and that is fine.
