The frontman of Godsmack, Sully Ernahe talked with 93.3 WMMR radio station on the COVID-19 pandemic and this was his opinion on the matter:
"I simply refuse to subscribe to the idea of 'this is the new standard.'" It is not going to happen, and people need to relax and know that this is going to happen, like everything else has happened in our past, like the flu and HIV and the swine flu and SARS and whatever else we've had. I think it will really be up to us to put our heads together here and be responsible and do the right thing. “I am not being disrespectful to people who are older and have illnesses. I know this is killing those kinds of people and it's there and it's real, "he continued. “But at the same time, come on, we are not going to be that kind of world that will walk with masks forever and we will not shake hands and hug each other. Humans are not designed for that, we are not designed to isolate themselves and have no human contact.
"I think we have to be smart and take the lessons this is giving us, like not sneezing into your hand and then shaking hands, because that's gross. Then it will help us pay more attention to our hygiene. don't push the elevator buttons and put your hands on an escalator and then lick your hands or something, but at the same time, I personally want to help promote the 'don't live in fear' type. Because how we respond later, how we dictate how we return to normal, really depends on us. "It's not Armageddon, man," added Sully. "This is not the end of the world. It's going to be OK. It is unfortunate that people have died from this, and it is a real disaster, but I do not want people to be traumatized to the point of feeling that 'I will never be able to return to a normal world, because I will not live in that kind of world: I'm going to hug my daughter, I'm going to shake hands with my friends, and I'm only going to be responsible, as we should be in general, with hygiene. ”
"I think there will be a delay when people [will say]: 'Maybe I am not going to a concert or a sporting event and I will be surrounded by many people; there are lingering parts of this. And ... with people losing houses and their jobs and things like that, I think when I come back, they are going to say, 'Okay. I'm glad it's over. Let's go back to work. But I should probably replenish my savings account before I start buying concert tickets. ”
And what do you think about it?
