Post Malone took the stage at the Pepsi Center in Denver on Thursday despite the widespread concerns over coronavirus, which has a lot of people scratching their heads. The imposing threat of coronavirus has led to the cancellation of countless events and any gatherings that attract large crowds, in an effort to contain the deadly virus and keep everyone safe.

However, it appears Post Malone wasn't too concerned about the risks, as he performed to a sold-out crowd at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado on Thursday night, much to the confusion and outrage of many. The Pepsi Center announced on Twitter prior to the show that Post's concert would proceed as scheduled, and the decision drew plenty of criticism.
Despite one user's assumption that the audience would be full of "empty seats," the show was actually packed, which is cause for even more concern.
The state of Colorado has yet to entirely ban large public gatherings, but health officials have seriously warned against them. While Live Nation did announce that all of its tours, including Post Malone and Swae Lee's Runaway tour, would be temporarily cancelled for the month of March due to coronavirus concerns, they did specify that select shows would proceed as scheduled on Thursday and Friday, which apparently included Post's Denver concert. His show at the Chase Center in San Francisco next week, however, has been canceled, as California officials have banned all gatherings of 250 people or more.
Jared Leto Posts Video After Near-Fatal Rock-Climbing Incident
Jared Leto was almost a goner after an accidental rock-climbing incident.
Jared Leto, the notable actor turned musician, shared the aftermath footage of the moment a rock-climbing incident could have led to his death. The 48-year-old Louisiana-bred thespian took to his Twitter account this past Friday (March 6) to share photos and video of what transpired when he began to notice the rope that was supporting his body weight had begun to fray before he could establish himself in a save spot in the world-renowned Red Rock Canyon in Colorado.

The Suicide Squad actor, captioned the initial Twitter post featuring a photo of him gripping onto the side of a cliff and his frayed support rope, writing:
"Not to sound dramatic, but this is the day I nearly died. Took a pretty good fall climbing with @AlexHonnold at Red Rock. Looked up and within seconds the rope was being cut by the rock while I dangled some 600 ft in the air. I remember looking down at the ground below."
Leto followed up the original Tweet with a short ten-second video of the incident where his helmet cam recorded the footage of the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman frantically gasping for air and attempting to calm his nerves, as he states:
"Holy f*cking sh*t! Holy f*ck! It was fraying right at the point!"
With Jared Leto and the rest of the Morbius (2020) cast preparing to go into full promo mode prior to the release of the "Living Vampire" movie in July, it would be tragic if the world and the production lost their leading man to an unexpected rock climbing accident. Check out Jared Leto's scary rock climbing moment in the photos and video provided below.
Dana White Defends His Undying Love For Donald Trump
President Donald Trump recently flew out Dana White for a campaign rally.
President Donald Trump has already begun ramping up his campaign efforts as the general election is going to take place on November 4th of this year. In order to effectively campaign, Trump has decided to fly around the country and hold rallies in various different states. Recently, Trump was in Colorado and he had a very special guest with him. Of course, we are talking about UFC President Dana White.
TMZ recently caught up with White where they asked him about his recent trip and what it meant to him. As White explained, he was never actually supposed to speak but the President wanted him to. White also spoke about UFC fans who may jump ship knowing White is an avid Trump supporter.
“I wasn’t really campaigning, he called me and asked me if I wanted to go to Colorado “he said, ‘Wanna go to Colorado?’ So, I said, ‘Yeah.’ So, we flew over to Colorado for the day and then back to Vegas,” White explained before talking about the fans. “I could give a s**t. I don’t give a s**t. If you don’t like me because I’m friends with this guy, that’s your problem, not mine.”
Clearly, White is very comfortable with his political believes and truly doesn’t care that people have an issue. With the election drawing near, it will be interesting to see if White does anymore campaign stops.
Mother Takes Advice From Anti-Vax FB Group, Son Later Dies
An Anti-Vax Facebook Group advised a mother not to take Tamiflu. Her child later died.
A 4-year-old named Najee in Colorado has died from influenza, after suffering a flu-related seizure, according to Complex.
"The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment can confirm that a preschool-aged child in southern Colorado has died of flu," CDPHE wrote in a statement. "The death is the second pediatric flu death in Colorado this season. The department does not have any records that show whether the child was vaccinated against influenza."
Two of Najee (Junior)'s brothers have also been diagnosed with the flu.
The Colorado Times Recorder, reports that the child's mother sought help from an anti-vax Facebook group before his death. The group suggested elderberry, placing potatoes on the child’s forehead, and simply “eating lots of fruits and vegetables," rather than taking Tamiflu.
“Yes it’s scary the doc told me to give my other two children and myself [Tamiflu] so we won’t get it,” the mother wrote in the Facebook group, seemingly after Najee's hospitalization.
“You’re better off taking Vitamin D and C, Elderberry, Zinc, and eating lots of fruits and vegetables,” one commenter replied.
“Ok perfect I’ll try that,” the mother responded.
Days later, Najee was dead.
"He was my only son that wasn't sick," his mother said. "I'm hurting so bad right now and so is his dad and brothers. Our whole family is hurting and it feels like we failed him because we did what we had to do."
Mysterious Drones Flying Around Colorado & Nebraska Are Making People "Very Nervous"
The drones are under investigation.
Citizens living in Colorado and Nebraska are a little on edge since drones are flying over their homes and neighbourhoods for reasons unknown. According to The New York Times, police in each location have been bombarded with calls and reports of drones with blinking lights and wingspans of six feet hovering over their homes and open fields, prompting a federal investigation.

“In terms of aircraft flying at night and not being identified, this is a first for me personally,” Sheriff James Brueggeman of Perkins County, Neb. told the publication, detailing how some residents have wanted to shoot them down. “I think it’s kind of a joke, but you have to remember the part of the country we live in. People here don’t like their privacy to be invaded.”
The drones are not breaking any laws but are making people feel anxious and nervous on its motive. "These drones have made residents in our community very nervous and anxious," Sheriff Todd Combs of Colorado's Yuma County said in a Facebook post. "People do not like the unknown as it upsets the balance of our lives. I will tell you right up front, I do not have a lot of answers for you at this time. I wish I did, but I do not."
Colorado's Sen. Cory Gardner is working with the FAA to get to the bottom of the issue.
