Visiting audio stores?


This is probably the last concern on many people's minds, so I'm raising this just in case anyone feels like relaying their experience.

I've become pretty cautious about where I go and why. So, for me, I'm not going to any audio stores to listen to gear, out of caution about the virus. I do feel concern for these stores and how it will impact them. Are folks going? Anyone running an audio store who wants to comment? How are you coping? Are you changing any policies or running any more sales online? Changes in trial periods to help more people try out gear remotely?

Again, this is a minor concern given the larger dimensions of this virus situation, but I thought I'd reach out with a question.

"...the mortality rate in the US is falling and is currently about 5 times less than Italy, which probably has the highest mortality rate, or maybe Iran. Spain is not far behind if I recall correctly."
U.S.A. came into this more prepared than other mentioned countries with more available resources for better outcome. How long will that hold remains to be seen.
"...most COVAD-19 deaths are related to pneumonia infections"
"Most" means "some are not". Not much you can do about it, but hearts seem to be affected quite a bit, too.

Do you think that the set-up of U.S.A. may help a bit when compared to Italy, Spain, China, and the rest of the Europe for that matter?

Maybe life in cars and suburbs does have some advantages, after all.

dseltz,

Thanks for sharing. Interestingly, he does not mention heart symptoms at all.
Why does every coronavirus thread have to involve anger about politics. Varietas delectat, guys make it more interesting than politics.

I'd call that whole description of event not overly eloquent.
