Stay the F*ck Inside: Tips to Remain Healthy and Active Indoors

/in , , /by

The COVID-19 mandated #StayAtHome movement is simple: if we all stay at home and minimize our exposure to other people, practice social distancing and maintain proper hygiene, we can flatten the curve, reduce the number of contagions and return to “normal life” sooner rather than later. We understand this requires some sacrifice on behalf of everyone, but it’s a necessary one we must make in order to do our part. With that said, it’s important for us all to remain healthy and active indoors, and there are certainly many ways this can be achieved.

Last week we listed 8 books you should read during the quarantine to stay productive and mindful with the aim of helping industry professionals and artists weather through the upcoming months at home. We believe reading, studying, learning and the constant pursuit of a better state of mind is of paramount importance for artists regardless of whether they’re touring or not, but with COVID-19 imposed lockdowns the importance of mental health takes center stage now more than ever.

Today, we want to focus on another important aspect that is not only vital for your mental health but physical health also: how to remain healthy and active indoors.

Real Story: How One 50-Person Party In Connecticut Became a Nationwide “Coronavirus Spreader”

/in , /by

While the overwhelming amount of electronic music promoters has understood the urgency and importance of putting a halt to all events until further notice in order to stop the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, we have come across a minority of irresponsible, selfish, money-driven promoters defying Federal, State and City orders by continuing to throw parties here in the United States. The risk? Becoming a nationwide Coronavirus spreader.

This type of senseless behavior is not only abhorrent, but extremely short-sighted too.

Ultimately, the more we come together now the more we will be separated in the months to come. If we were able to freeze everyone in the world 6 feet apart from others they don’t live with for the next 14 days we would have beat COVID-19, and while that is unrealistic, getting as close to that as possible is the entire goal of the various lockdown and stay-at-home policies Government officials are implementing around the globe.

Nightlife professionals and artists, you’re not alone. We have all been hit hard by the forced lockdown and closures mandated to combat COVID-19 and it sure seems like the next few months are not going to get any easier. Stay positive though, because together we must help one another to make it through all these obstacles thrown at us. It is with this in mind that we are sharing key resources for American artists and nightlife professionals affected by COVID-19 in this article.

In the last week and a half the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has changed the way we live in unimaginable ways, and the nightlife scene in the United States, and our home in Los Angeles in particular, have been suffering since. While whole sectors of the local, state and country-wide economy are affected, there is no doubt that the entertainment, film, hospitality and nightlife industries are some of the worst-hit by the indefinite lockdown measures now in place to “flatten the curve” and mitigate the spread and death toll of the virus. We aren’t in a confirmed recession yet, but it will surprise no one once we officially are.
