All I know is that you said A LOT of wrong things in your posts. Pardon me for trying to save your life...

2G I surely don’t need you to save my life. Yours is one of the ballsyist statements I’ve ever heard on here. Goes along with your advise for me to not land out, not thermal low and to fill my bird with electric gizmo’s cause if I don’t I will die.

If your concern is genuine, that I would surely appreciate. We do have a social consciousness to honor both within our communities and within the smaller subset of our soaring community. But I am afraid I am not picking up the vibe of genuine concern coming from you, only anger toward someone who doesn’t conform to your idea of how one should behave.

As for saying alot of “wrong things in my posts� I think I clearly relayed the bonefied sources of data and logic which supported my reasoning. Once again, if you are living in the midst of an infected area, do whatever you and the govt feel you need to do. I don’t. My county has ZERO cases of covid, my entire state is only reporting 50 cases total! I am loosing zero sleep over my chances of infection or my chances of infecting anyone else thru glider flying. If you don’t accept that so be it.

When I have centered a strong updraft and I am climbing to cloudbase, I am Home. And I am alone. Any issues here?

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.

Cool, thanks. My kids live in LA and their roommates have been coughing for a week. Can I send them to stay with you until this blows over?

Hunkered down in the SF Bay Area,

Uneekc, your recommendations are harmful to everyone.

Andy, yes in all seriousness, they would be welcome, I would put them in quarentine for a week or so in our guest house to make sure symptoms dont show themselves, but yes, I dont blame anyone for wanting to get out of rampent infected areas. Ask those poor folks who were cooped up on that cruise ship just waiting to get infected.

Well Tow, then don’t follow them. And ya better stay the hell outta my thermal while your at it, you may not be safe.

Oh yeah? I've seen a whole gaggle scatter when I've entered a thermal at high speed!

They don't want to be in quarantine - they say that is an overreaction, like all this shutting down restaurants and retail. Hope you don't mind.

LOL! My county (Benton, WA) also had ZERO cases less than a week ago: as of today it has 3 deaths and 11 cases. I repeat, lack of symptoms DOES NOT mean no infection: just go ask your cousin!

BTW, you're welcome.
