Default Coronavirus impacting activities?

2G the sky is falling the sky is falling!! What I do here in the backwoods of AL HAS NOTHING to do with helping mitigate the pandemic in the Bay Area. Maybe if CA did’nt “legalize” the crapping on city streets and the promotion of “free living” for all the homeless, they would not be in the situation they are in. Socialism has unintended consequences!
My advise? LEAVE those areas that are rife with virus! Hunker down somewhere where its not taking over. My home is available for anyone wanting to get away from the mess that is CA, NYC and Chicago.

In the meantime don’t tell me how, when, or where to fly. I an living somewhere where we are not in the epicenter of that mess.

Prediction: come later in the year when this mess is passed you will see a rash of sailplane accidents involving guys who’s skills are rusty as hell.

I was thinking seriously about buying a glider but with the current economic uncertainty have stepped back until things are clearer.

Notably absent is an answer to my question: will you forgo medical care if YOU get sick?

1. I don't live in CA
2. The government advice is to protect the hospitals from being
overloaded and to save lives.
3. It may not matter if you get the virus, it will matter to others.
4. When scientific evidence leads to advice to STAY AT HOME it is
incumbent on everyone to do just that.

The whole point of the restrictions is to save necessary deaths and
serious illness but you and your ilk know better. You don't care about
others, only yourself.
Now we all know exactly what and who you are. Good luck with that.


Here is another "anecdote:" our local hospital has posted ARMED GUARDS at the entrance of the hospital in addition to medical personnel for pre-screening prior to being allowed in to the hospital.

Ain’t gonna get sick there 2g. Live your little sheltered life there, Ive got another glider to tow here. As for being ignorant reguarding the virus, the majority of my family iis in health care including a cousin who works for the CDC. Ill take my info from them not you who apparently believes everything they get from mainline news sources, good luck with that.

Don't think so, 5000 miles is a long way to travel.
