People can always choose to meet outside of the organizers.

I think the entire reaction of cancelling things into the Fall is ludicrous and incredibly frustrating..

I haven’t been on this forum in quite some time, but felt seeing this I have to say something. Maybe none of you know anyone that has been affected by this virus. I have a 75 year old brother with a heart condition out in SanDiego with a few of the signs of the virus and still can not even get tested. If you don’t think this virus is real ask the families of the 109000 + people that have died if it’s real. That’s five times the number of people that died from the flu in a quarter of the time. If you think your missing a car show is such a hardship to help stop this pandemic you have no idea of what is real. God help us all with attitudes like that.

I dont wanna turn this thread into a covid 19 rant.but the numbers of people that died from the virus is over exaggerated. If you died from cancer or a car crashes and you tested positive for covid 19 they listed your cause of death covid 19 related.if you go by the guidelines then there should be no problem with outdoor gatherings.

That’s why the doctors are saying the death count is understated. The 109,000+ are from the virus not heart attacks and car crashes. It’s real and you just better hope it doesn’t affect anyone in your family.

I won't get political either, but my job revolves around clinical research and analysis of that data. This is all a sham. That's not to say people aren't getting sick from it. They are. But we have clearly identified the vulnerable populations and they should be quarantined or take more safety precautions. Healthy people should go about their lives, attend car shows, concerts, movies, and social gatherings. Never in the history of the world has a healthy population been quarantined, because that's not how immunity and fighting infections works. I llkely had, has have a few confirmed people in my family. If you don't have the concerning comorbidities, your body is designed to fight this stuff off.
