The LVZC in Belgium (organization of all gliding clubs in Belgium) wrote a letter to all clubs to stop all activities for at least a month. The season is starting in 2 weeks, going to be very busy with check rides when we can finally operate again.


at least! - there is little logic in closing for a month. If a cessation of a group activity is deemed necessary then it will have to be for several months. There is no way this is going to be disappearing in a month in any European country.


It disappears when R0 goes below 1.0 and stays there.

It seems terribly unlikely that social distancing alone will do that. Development of herd immunity is likely the only long term solution, and that either means a successful vaccine or an awful lot of people getting sick.

Get some sun / make some vitamin D. Even if you think that's quackery, it'll still feel good :-).

And sleep. Being short on sleep will kill ya or let the bugs kill ya.
