The Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival and Stagecoach festival, scheduled for three consecutive weekends in April at Indio’s Empire Polo Club, have been cancelled. In other news, water is wet. I suspect this will not be the first series of cancelations by public health.

Am I surprised that these have been canceled? No I’m not. It is very clear the divide in North America between those who are following guidelines to prevent the spread of the disease and those who are not. Am I bitter? Also yes.
