Social Distancing

That's the new term you will hear every ten minutes on the news for the next several weeks. A term we will never forget.

Now, how does this term relate to the track? Every rider is supposed to remain a minimum of 3ft away from the other riders. I'll call it Moto Distancing..

I stay atleast 6 feet and avoid public places even when there isn't an epidemic. The general public are gross slobs.

No shit! The DMV and urgent care facilities look like the Zombie apocalypse, and that was well before the CNN-19 virus

I was planning on racing this weekend but with the way this virus is blowing up I am going to give it a miss.

Surprised that tracks are still running events given that from Monday events with more than 500 people are banned in Aus.

Social Distancing?

If you use every other starting gate and make wide passes...

You should be good.

If this holds true I would think the start would be the "key to the race."

Im thinking of rising on Wednesday but now that hospitals might be over stretched...would i even get medical care if something bad happened at the track?

Hate to break it to you guys (Blockhead17) but they're actually advising people that are not sick to stay away from wearing masks and simply take normal precautions, like you would for the Flu. This stupid Virus being a reason for people to start being
"cleanly" is just ridiculous. I've personally changed nothing about my life because I maintain common cleanliness everyday.

If masks don't work then why are they worried about health care works having an adequate supply of them?

Because healthcare workers need them for more than just Cononavirus. It's not like suddenly anything has changed in that regard

Finally something I am good at - staying away from people!

Heck, I don't even get along with my imaginary friend all of the time!

My wife works at the biggest hospital in Boston, over the weekend they were told to do their best to buy as much protective eyewear and protective masks as possible they have at best about a one week supply . Obviously there were no face mask around but I was able to pick up 100 eyewear.
I know a lot of people think this is all bullshit I kind of did three weeks ago as well but really all they are trying to do is flatten the curve to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed when talking about “social distancing“
