Premiered Jul 13, 2020 I was in Hong Kong during the SARS epidemic and it was very normal to see people wearing facial masks. In fact, across Asia, it's the done thing if you have a cold - the polite thing to do is contain your breath so as not to inadvertently pass nasties on to others. With Covid-19, initial recommendations were that the general public did not need masks. But with the spread of the virus, this has changed. Here in New Zealand, where we currently have no community transmission, we don't wear masks, but this could change. In countries where there is a greater spread, many carriers of Covid-19 are asymptomatic and don't even realise they may have it. So wearing masks makes sense - the polite thing to do is contain your breath so as not to inadvertently pass nasties on to others. But there is so much resistance to this that it blows my mind. Wearing a mask is not giving in to fear. It is not giving up your rights. It's not even a big deal to wear one - it's only when you're out in public places. Yet people staunchly and vehemently refuse to play this small but significant role in helping curb the spread of this pandemic. It saddens me that a sense of personal entitlement is causing many to become sick and even die. So that's why I've put this song together. When I hear this song, I think of a ship full of people heading towards a hidden disaster, with only the tip of the iceberg visible. Hmm - apt perhaps in this current situation.
