The Coca Cola Stage the main event stage of The Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga
Coronavirus has caused life to be paused and events to be cancelled such as music festivals. Every June the Riverbend Festival is held in my hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee and this years event was postponed and then cancelled. Who knows when these sort of events will be held again. I can wait until life is more stable and secure before going back to concerts and sporting events again.

A tweet from April 12, 2020 from WRCB-TV in Chattanooga, Tennessee
Easter Sunday was a rough day for many in the southern USA. Severe weather including tornadoes and thunderstorms impacted millions including my hometown of Chattanooga and surrounding area. Tornadoes hit in a residential area near our largest shopping mall. Not only do we have to deal with Coronavirus now people are having to deal with the devastating aftermath of these storms. Me and mine are OK but some friends are not. It’s going to be a tough few days for them.
