Summit opening??

[Tracker1]

We order take out from our favorite restaurants - they are delivering - just to support them, and we love their food.

History will be kind to Gov. DeWine, he is a voice of reason and sanity and obviously cares about the people he governs.

I do agree that going to a test & tune session at a strip and grabbing your time slip is really no different than entering a McDonalds or Starbucks drive-thru (both of which I have done in the last week). But full-on events? C'mon. That is playing with fire.

Agree...a test & tune is great if there's a way to prevent bad behavior.

Numidia dragway is opening on 5/1 with or without the governments blessing. I spoke to a lot of businesses that are still open because they are considered essential and they said they can get by with everything c!osed for two months but at month three they will be in trouble. We are entering month two.

I finally had the time to sit down and watch the video that started this thread. I can't say I disagree with him and some things he hinted at does make you wonder. I'm hoping things get back to normal at the projected May 1st date that Governor Ducey stated for Arizona when this first started. I'd hate to see this extended further.

Or re-bound and issue a Quarantine again later on down the line too.I know social distancing sucks for all of us,but I'd rather stay the course & do this NOW,then have to go through all this again in a few more months.Not to mention the tremendous strain that would put on our already strained Healthcare workers/Hospitals if we did.

The social distancing doesn't bother me so much, some might say I've practiced that for 40 years, lol. My cars have practiced social distancing for decades, I always park out in the boonies

What I'd like to see is things get back to normal. A lot of strangeness going on right now.

True stuff, but like many things it benefits from the advantage of hindsight which we are just now starting to get to. What if the lethality of Covid-19 turned out to be much more than we know now or originally anticipated? So we didn't close the schools, the kids got sick and say 25% of them died? Would that have been acceptable? We would have developed the herd immunity, but lost much of a generation. I'm sure we would have told our folks in government good job done, let's go to the races! We still don't fully understand the morphology of this disease. Why some get it with few symptoms and others, not just the old, get it and degrade rapidly to death. There are still folks out there that say its just another seasonal flu. To generalize a disease based on previous types of similar strains seems kind of foolhardy, but he does have the Phd!

I guess I'm one that hasn't been all that worried about it. I haven't even had a flu shot in 25 years, and never had the flu. I rarely even get a mild head cold, maybe once every 2-3 years. My wife and son are about the same. We just rarely ever get sick, we're pretty healthy people that practice good hygiene and stay in shape.
I would guess the elderly and people with underlying health conditions would be most at risk so I can understand the need for some of this social distancing, but it just hasn't been very consistent, least not here anyway.

I work from home anyway so I'm not around people much to begin with unless I have visitors or I run errands. My wife works for the government and military contracts so she's not shutting down. About the only person it's really changed here is my son, as he is finishing his college year at home on line and he doesn't mind that at all.

George Carlin had a funny skit many years ago about germs and immune systems that sounded very similar to this, lol.
