ggdad1951 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 well, the Frozen Four has announced no fans in attendance for the games, so I won't be heading to Detroit after the Q....now I at a MINIMUM, have to change my flight home....if things aren't on a total lockdown. Quote
Todd B Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 More people die every day in Chicago with some of the stiffest gun laws in the country. Maybe they should have considered to lock down that city years ago. 1 Quote
Merle Coggins Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 The seasonal flu bug has a higher death rate than COVID-19 has. Would you cancel your travel in fear of getting the flu? Unless you are over 70, or have a compromised immune system, or respiratory issues, you aren't in any real danger. 2 Quote

This is getting a bit out of hand, I'll leave my personal feelings as to why off the forum. I know this is going to tank the economy for at least a year or two. 1 Quote

Brent B3B Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 oh no, the Corolla virus has infected the BBQ thread!! better wear a mask Paul! ok, no more responses from me for 14days 1 Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Here in the Seattle area everything is dead.... Schools closed ...restaurants..no big public gatherings allowed here...toilet factory's closed...Purell well we know about that too.... Strangest thing is our freeways ....no more rush hour at all. Down town streets....no crowds anymore. We are the US epicentre of this mess. I stay home and work cleaning winters up. Not traveling anywhere for the time being...SeaTac airport is almost a ghost town. Now the layoffs loom☹ Now back to regular programming folks! Quote
minicooper Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 The only way my B3C is gonna get the "Corolla" virus is if I do a Tacoma frame swap, just sayin'. 1 Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 How'd we get to the Corolla virus? I thought it was the "Toyopet Coronavirus"...?? 3 1 Quote
John-T-53 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 I don't recall this massive of a shutdown and hysteria in 2009 when the swine flu broke out....and killed 12,000 people in the US. WTF. I don't mind the light traffic, though. The freeways around here have been empty all week! 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 I remember 1976 as the first swine flu scare.....Tim Conway and Carol Burnett skit comes to mind Tim with that pig nose as he morphed.....even so...the population was less tuned in to the internet some 11 years ago...grandma and grandpa are often wide open on social media today.....things seem to always sway toward the majority...

pflaming Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 “ oh no, the Corolla virus has infected the BBQ thread!! better wear a mask Paul! “! CV doesn’t frighten me, but “hoof and mouth disease” always a concern at the BBQ. 3 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 saw an info-graphic yesterday....media coverage of this DWARFS ALL other coverage of ALL other health issues COMBINED: 5:1 over the TOTAL modern history of media. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 I haven't cancelled my tickets YET, hoping things settle down in the next few weeks. I just have to cancel of change tickets a few days prior. Knowing Delta, I'll be screwed no matter what, so I'll wait. Quote
48Dodger Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Posted March 15, 2020 The instructions to help slow COVID-19 say no more than 250 people in a gathering up to the end of March. First. The gathering is in April. Second. I don't think we've ever reached 250 attendees. Third. its an outside event that allows for more than the maximum distance from anyone if you choose. Fourth. The majority of individuals at this event are friends and respect the situation. As of this posting, the gig is still on. Fifth. Rain is predicted on the day of the show............frick. sigh.....it may change soon, fingers crossed. Tim aka 48D 2 Quote
