Vocal mic cover for open mic?

[Glennwillow]

Amazon sells microphone covers, similar to a pop filter, for ~$8 here.

I’m fully vaccinated with all available boosters, but I can’t just hope for the best because it could affect my career and bank account immensely. We all have to make decisions based on our own personal situations during these challenging times. I do appreciate your own personal take on this and wish I could follow suit.

I appreciate your circumstances. You're not in charge of deciding when that virus catches you - as it will unless you're living in a cave somewhere. I've had it once that I know of. It was minor (two days a bit wonky), but I tested positive for 11 days. It did my head in, but I didn't have the pressure of losing money. It must be very difficult for you to balance these competing demands: enjoyment and potentially losing work. I don't envy you. All the best and I hope it all works for you.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful and helpful suggestions on this. One more example of why I’m grateful to be part of AGF.

Yep, and I'm not using your mic....Did an open mic recently and I brought my own.

We used disposable mic covers similar to these at our festival in September. Changed after every use.
