This weekend there are a few tracks starting to open up for races. Easy question. Is it too soon for local races?

Depends on where you are, so long as it’s not a hard hit place why not race? There’s only two covid-19 patients in my local hospital not like resources are stretched thin here.

I've got two races in May I'm planning to hit up.
Us dirt bike riders really aren't the brightest demographic though...
I didn't vote because IDK

Depends on the area. We have very few cases where I am and the hospital is pretty much empty. I think we'll get back to racing Mid May if everything continues on the current trend.

Perfectly stated. ^^^

Life has to go on. If not, things are going to deteriorate where we have much larger problems. People are going to die of a thousand different things...nobody gets out alive.

I like what this guy says, and I think he is right on. With that said, I think yes.. Go Race, Go Work, even Open the Restaurants. Let people live, work and support their families.

I hate listening to this guy because what he's saying reinforces all of my suspicions about overreacting and what motivations and forces might be behind that. And I've been a model citizen with social distancing and isolation (not super hard when I normally work from home anyway), abiding by all of the requirements and suggestions, wearing a mask in the grocery so I don't freak anyone else out, etc.

I would never say it was a hoax though. I think there is more data coming out that makes the overall death rate very low, but the breadth of victims (of death) is very wide and that's the variable we don't understand yet. Regular healthy people don't fall prey to the flu the way that they can to CV-19. It's a very strange virus that we don't understand yet. I think we're ok with a certain casualty rate if we could quantify it, but we haven't been able to yet.

With all that said I think we should race by June at the latest, unless something goes nuts in the meantime.

One thing I'd like to add though is this virus has killed that many people in 1 month basically. Not over the entire winter. I do agree with alot he said

Totally, it isn't the same. And it isn't the same in a lot of ways. Seems wayyy more infectious. But also less deadly overall, but more deadly for some cohorts that don't die from regular flu.

I still say let's do our best to do 6ft, wash hands a lot, and drop the gate.

And I'm still wiping down my grocery stuff with disinfectant wipes before I let my wife and kids touch them so I am not someone that thinks this stuff is a joke or hoax.

It is for me. I will watch and see where we go in another 2-3 weeks. If we spike, then we will know it was too soon. FWIW, I don't see us gaining in herd immunity any too soon, not with all this hiding out. I'm all for personal choices and responsibility so IDC if it opens. I'll decide when or if I want to take my chances with it. In SoCal here it is L.A. County shitting the bed because a lot of L.A. County is a shit hole. I am a former resident that worked in L.A. County so I know first hand.
The places still blowing up are rehab and assisted living type places.

Bullshit! Fake stats. Hospitals are fudging the numbers to receive government money.

Look at Home Depot and lowes workers as the barometer of opening. Every time I drive by the parking lots are full. Tons of people from all walks of life congregating in 1 place. The workers are exposed to hundreds of people daily. If they aren't losi employees left and right to the Rona then society will be fine opening up.

We have a small two track series here in SC that is starting up this weekend. And the Carolina Outlaw series round 1 is a MotoVated on the 17th- I plan to be on the line. Silver Dollar in Georgia is also getting back to racing in May. I think local racing is feasible, but a national with 10,000+ spectators....I dunno. I think by summer it will be fine in most states.

Excellent video.

It should scare the hell out of people that Google, Farcebook, etc want to control information.

You are seriously going to trust a video posted on a site called Utah gun exchange?
Yeah that’s where all the smart people go for information about the world.. 🤣

It's the content that matters. Experts in their field for 20+ years, using science and actual data rationally...not fear-mongering.


Lets get people back to racing....more importantly, lets get people back to working and living.

No, I thought you were thinking along those lines. Your two comments seem to contradict each other though, so I have no clue where you stand now. I certainly do not think this will magically clear up on may 26th 2020. Somewhere around the same date in 2021 sounds more accurate as far as what doctors and top viral experts are saying.
