This dumbAZZ hillbilly has seen the media report almost 5500 deaths in the state of New York. I am paying attention. On the other hand, in other remote states the number of deaths is very low ??....As far as NHRA is concerned, I don’t believe the local governments gave them any choice. I commend the way NHRA handled this pandemic....#HOPE TO BE HERE NEXT YEAR

The total for New York is now 6,268. They are using refrigerator trucks in parking lots to store the dead bodies.

NHRA did the only thing it could do.

I don't really see why we couldn't run division races. There's no spectators to speak of so there shouldn't be a problem with social distancing. I mean hell they're letting people play golf around here.

One reason is in NJ, they have closed race tracks, and until the state says otherwise, we can't race. That's why the Atco races are cancelled

While people understand that this virus is very contagious, and that self quarantine seems to have really helped, you still have to ask the question is it going to be as deadly as the common flu we have every year along with the H1N1, and all the other viruses we have lived with.
According to the cdc.gov site more than 60,000 deaths in the 2019/2020 are the estimate.

While at one time it was estimated that more then 2,000,000 deaths might be attributed to the Covid-19 virus. Those estimates continue to drop significantly from day to day and will continue, thank God.

My daughter is a Nurse Practitioner in Broward County Florida, in charge of a Critical Care Unit, we worry about her 24/7, so far so good, she has been given the chance to join a "study group" where the Medical Staff will be given Hydroxychloroquine w/Zinc. Her problem is a previous medical issue and has to be certain it will not harm or overload her liver and other organs.

Use Common sense and stay safe.

People like your wife and people who have lupus are now facing shortages of the medication they need.

It is more than people taking drugs that probably don't work. This also affects others who need those drugs for other proven treatments.

Now in this n.j. joint you can't even go to a park for a walk. There is a county park by my house that used to be a dairy farm, atleast 100 acres +, dictator murphy has closed all state & county parks. Yesterday morning I drove up to have a look and there were barricades to keep you out and atleast 2 county park ranger trucks sitting there in the rain just watching. Where I live it is still country and you feel it is all about kontrol.John Kissel

They have closed all the dragstrip here as well Duane but that's what I'm saying these outdoor events where people are not on top of each other could be done. Just my opinion, there have already been some private "test" sessions at Galot done with limited people aloud.
