The rest of us are going to party down!
I understand your wishes. A few observations from abroad.
1 ) The USA leads in death toll world wide, unfortunately.
2 ) The idea of a "hot spot" can be misleading, see #4.
3 ) In Germany today besides 1 out of about 300 counties have been below the threshold of "max. 50 new cases within 100.000 people within a week" now, which is good. I.e.: NO hot-spots anymore.
4 ) THOUGH wherever a crowd of some dozen people gathered ... Corona was and is back (big family parties, baptists convention etc.). However, containment seems to work better now than months ago.
5 ) Current protests are understandable in the US AND will worsen the Corona situation (again), see #4.
Anyway, wishing you luck with the long awaited gigs.
