COVID -19 check in

[Mad Hatter]

Test, Trace , and Isolate... thats the only real option till a vaccine arrives. Well, same as every where else, our race series is blown for 2020... Small thing really compared to all the rest of the major things that are going down. Racing needs financial backing and its pretty clear we will have none at all for 2020... But, If all goes well, we will go back to club racing at the cheapest track we can find in Sept or Oct.

For some reason that I do not understand, down here in Chile we have a really low mortality rate of 16/million compared to the US with 243/million. And it looks like the US will be in the same range as Europe soon (approx 500/million). But, they still have most of Santiago, the biggest ciy, on Lockdown...can't even do a drive buy to see my car at the shop. Its 15km away but have not seen it in months.

Funny that you can cheer yourself up by thinking that you are much more likely to perish from cancer or a heart attack then this fffing virus. Hope everyone takes care, washes their paws and covers thier mugs when in puplic. Can't wait till this is over for us all!!! Stay healthy!!

Agree, to a point. When we know those most at risk, why do we keep everyone locked down?? The last I looked $1200.00 and unemployment does not pay the bills for many.
Lets protect those at risk and get back to work.
I live in a county larger than Rhode Island. Our "Cases" are mostly folks who came out from the City for care. No deaths. No facilities in crisis. I know no one in the area with the virus. Our zip code has zero cases. Can someone explain why we have lost the ability to decide if we can shake our neighbors hand??

 

[Mad Hatter]

True...If we don't get back to work down soon where will the food come from!! Basic needs are not going away and sadly most of the world does not have reserves of cash to sit idle for months. For me, thats why we have to test and trace as fast as possible, if the threath is low in a area., back to work!!

Looks like hand shakes will be something we can look forward to in the hopefullly not to distant future.

Because you can’t see viruses or wether a person is infected.

Explaining doesn’t guarantee understanding.

This is why containment efforts fail. People who don’t think they’re sick continue to spread it around.

Can we all decide to wash hands, social distance and do what we can to protect our selves and others when we are in public. Like TMSBOSS I live in a small county and we only have 7 cases and no deaths and we have reopened. I don't feel comfortable going out in public. That is my decision. I tested negative on April 15 but with age and an underlining condition it is just not worth the risk. I understand the need to open because when mothers and fathers can't feed and take of their family that could get scary. Desperate people can be dangerous. No matter what you decide this is going to be with us for a while. Stay safe. I do plan to drive my car when I need a smile and I hope you can to.

 

[Grant 302]

I know the risks. We are distancing.

Please explain how you would be ‘distancing’ while ‘deciding’ to handshake.

 

[Grant 302]

What I said was we should be informed and then allowed to decide.

You didn’t say that. And that still doesn’t make any sense.

 

[Mad Hatter]

We should all get to decide what we can do etc, as long as it does not make some one else sick. lucky for me, down here its wear a mask or get a fine. If your Covid positive and are not isolating.. really big fine and forced too isolate period. never mind that wearing a mask is just to decent polite thing to do. Hope you guys keep safe in the US!!

@. The moderators, if this thread gets to political or people are going to whine or complain please turn off the comments. That’s not what this thread is about. If you guys want to rant and rave then find another place. This was to check in on some members that had been quiet on the site And let them know that if they needed anything within reason.

Agreed. I would have clipped it from post #60.

My apologies, did not mean to inject politics!! Hope every ones is healthy and that we can share new racing stories soon!

Thanks to all those who retracted comments to keep this thread from turning into every other discussion on FB. Let's save the "what should be done" debates for social media. Makes more sense for us to keep our tight knit community strong by focusing on what each other is doing to make it through, and maybe extending help where it's needed.

With that said, is there anything I can do to help anyone in here? Either in my region or outside of it?

Can you stand in line at Costco for me?

2020 gt350r Heritage Edition if you can spare the funds. I’ll settle for a regular 2020 350r But has to be performance blue

Who still goes to Costco? We've had several deliveries using their Instacart delivery service. Hell, one order got delivered twice and they told us to just keep it. Of course, that was the the smallest of all the orders If Instacart delivery is available from your Costco, jump on it.
