RE: Perez blue flag penalty
Someone posted Hamilton’s onboard from behind Perez: https://streamable.com/am9a74 , originally from: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/iavopw/onboard_of_hamilton_following_perez_that_lead_to/
Thanks for the podcast! :)
Thanks for the link. I know I saw a lot of flashing signs but it’s a tight track, lots of turns and I think this penalty is marginal at best.
Ok, I gotta chime in on something ya’ll mention every race podcast now :). As someone who had to research and write our shooting guidelines for Covid, yea you could helicopter me into the middle of the desert and I would still put on a mask if you handed me a microphone to talk into! The mic windsock is just a giant Covid sponge. Now sure, on the small ones like a lavalier we can buy a hundred little windsocks and change them out and throw away every interview, but anything bigger than that or the network branded ones and… Read more »
Understand the point regarding the dead cat and multiple people using it. I’ve not read anything in the live event industry or microphone manufacturing industry to suggest that SARS COV2 is contractable on a dead cat or survives on the material these are made from. Not saying it isn’t, I just haven’t read anything to that effect. One might argue that a face mask would also harbor the virus as well. IF people have a face mask on, then the argument would be that the dead cat isn’t getting sprayed with COVID because face masks work…or do they? Moving target.
Oh yea I get it, you’re not gonna find any research that says wether you can or can’t get it from mics since well, no one seems to have done any hard research on that yet. The best I could come up with (about a month ago) was to contact some experts I work with (I’m really trying to not out myself on the internet here) who lets say specialize in planetary protection and spacecraft sterilization for advice. They said that while Covid is rather easy to kill (they work with it), it could also live on those surfaces for… Read more »
Always better to be safe than sorry for sure. I mean, pre-COVID, I wouldn’t get too close to a Shure Beta 58 on an open mic night either for the same reason. ;)
Things I will never look at the same again even after this pandemic if over. Microphones. People blowing out their birthday candles then offering me a pice of the spittle germ cake.
“So yea, if you’re holding something that has been shoved into the face of someone else, wear the mask!” Just to add, most masks that you see people wearing, such as the blue disposable ones, will not protect from GETTING the virus, but they will help from SPREADING the virus. So the Anti-Mask crowd will say, “Well if it won’t stop me from getting the virus, then why should I wear it?” The reason is because: a) When you get COVID, you’re asymptomatic for a few days, meaning you could be spreading it around like a little Typhoid Mary and… Read more »
