Due to the virus, the Jegs Sportsnationals / D 3 points meet scheduled for July may be in trouble....Today the NCAA stated that all BB tournament games will be played without spectators in the stands....I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg.....

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

We will still be fine we have no spectators in the stands usually lol

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

Its not just play time that will be affected. Any large gathering of people. I work for a large corporation, upwards of 7,000 at my location. What do you suppose would happen if one employee was diagnosed with COVID -19? Optimistically speaking, I read where nine pharmaceutical companies are working on a vaccine. PC or not, I pray it happens quickly. Like it or not, its capitalism at its best.

My sister is a Prof at Xavier in Cinci and she sent me a message saying they are on spring break but starting on next monday they will be teaching online with no people in classes. Those such as her who have taught microbiology are "scratching their heads" wondering if maybe this is a stretch.

Wife and I were leaving on a high school group cruise this Saturday but it has been cancelled. Norwegian is giving credits good thru 12/22 so maybe later the if the companies make it. Hate to see what a monthly payment on a cruise ship is.

A miracle Cure is coming when they realize how much money is being lost

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

And somehow I was led to believe that our taxes were subsidizing big pharma?

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

No money no cure, now that's Capitalism at its finest!

MJ, you are absolutely right and I can't believe this post was moved. There will always be naysayers until people start dying in their neck of the woods. nhra is now powerless to stop any local, state or the Federal Government agency from cancelling any of its events . You can believe that at least some races will be cancelled. None of us want to deal with this pandemic but it is here now and we have to take it head on. In the short term nhra should release a statement as to their plans of dealing with this virus. Good luck to everyone and be safe.

You sound like the perfect guy to volunteer at your local hospital when the virus arrives in your area.

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

With the NBA shutting down there will be a domino effect with the NHL, MLB and even NASCAR likely to follow suit. I’d suspect NHRA will start canceling after the Gators. The good news is this will all pass. We’re going through exactly what smaller groups endure via tornadoes, hurricanes etc. and resilience will prevail.

Bruce,
Sounds like a job for you, you seem to know it all, go for it. I will keep doing what I do and not worry about it, just flew to North Dakota 3 days ago and feel fine.

On the contrary! I only have questions but you seem to be convinced of your invincibility of the Coronavirus. I think you would be well suited for helping folks if needed. Fly on brother.

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

No I just don't sit around worrying about stuff I have no control over, I am good with my god, and will keep doing what I do and not stree over it.

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

Unlike a "natural disaster", which you can plan and/or engineer for, how do you keep yourself safe during a global pandemic? You don't necessarily have to "freak out", but wouldn't it be a good idea to follow the guidance of the medical community and at least give yourself a fighting chance? And if that means staying away, temporarily, from large crowds of people who have the very real potential of spreading the CoVid-19 virus, so be it. This IS going to pass, eventually, because that's how pandemics work. And most, but NOT ALL of us, will come through it just fine. Take the recommended precautions because it matters for all of us.


In so far as the vaccine that is being developed - if OUR tax dollars are being used to research and produce it, why should a private company make a profit on it? Shouldn't the common good out way corporate greed?

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

Sure beats the hell out of communism. Don't you think?

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

Bruce, Me and my Wife do a lot of volunteer work for our church and if called we will do what ever we can, what do you do, spread fear and hopelessness

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

Not at all. I have spent years volunteering at a handicapped Adults Workshop. Sorry the truth about the spread of the Coronavirus causes you to be fearful and to feel hopeless.

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

You seem to be the one that is feeling fearful, I could care less, I am going on with my daily life like usual. But you seem to know better, your arrogance is all over this forum

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

Those were your words cowboy. I am totally all set for this mess. Have projects set up that will keep me busy for months. Now go have a talk with your God and tell him how nasty you have been.

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

I am just having fun with you Bruce because you always take the bait, although if I live as close to the swamp as you do I would have a plan also, I live in the woods not around a bunch of snowflake goverment workers, LOL I win. Be safe

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

Nice try at backpedaling.

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

You may have a little TDS, but you will get over it hopefully.

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
 

That's the thing about suckers, they never know when the game is over. Sucker!

Re: Ohio bans large gatherings of groups...
