The emphasis should not be on the 98% that likely would survive, but on the total, including the Viet Nam veterans that gave their all.
Echo Charlie Out.

I am a Viet Nam era veteran (U.S. Navy from 1967-1971 on a nuclear submarine and 2 submarine rescue ships). I have never smoked, but I am 73 years old and I have asthma; otherwise, I am in excellent health. Due to my age and underlying condition, if I were to get this disease, the consequences most likely would be dire. Be safe everyone, I hope to see you at a race at some point this season!

You're welcome Bruce; you and I are in complete agreement regarding COVID-19 and several other things that I won't mention here.

I will call it what I prefer to call it which is COVID 19.

First off, thank you for your service. I wasn't in the service, but worked for the Post Office. My 1st few years was in the military mail section. We handle most of the mail going to the service men and women around the world. I hope all got everything that was sent to them, a few packages didn't make it. That was from 68 until 71 or there abouts.

I am 70 and have had asthma (mostly in my youth but some issues in adulthood). That being said I am very careful when I get out. Most of my food is brought to me by my daughter and her husband. I am very grateful for that. I do go for some fun food on occasion (ice cream and such). Being on house arrest (as I call it) is frustrating, but I get it. I pray daily and enjoy talking with people when I am out. We keep our distance and all seem to be doing quite well.

Common sense applies to anything that we do in these times. Unfortunately, many people don't have that and thus are possibly putting others in danger. I, for one, am willing to stay close to home and wait it out. Good luck to all and stay safe and healthy. Prayers to you all.

South Dakota has a governor that understands the constitution, unlike some others. And I am not a republican.

To each his own, stay home if you want. I am 74, have RA, a cancer and SEPSIS survivor, even with that I intend to live my life as normal as possible.

Let's get to racing. Fresh air, a gentle breeze and sunshine is a hellave lot better then being couped up in stale house!

Not all of the Governors seem to understand the constitution or care. One of my favorite quotes lately is from New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy saying in regards to a question regarding the constitution .. " That's above my pay grade.."

Looks as though the NASCAR teams are heading back to work...racing in May with no spectators is the plan. Could NHRA be far behind ?
