    You guys who are panicking over this virus need to get a grip. No matter how much y0u want it otherwise,
    this virus will kill about the same number of people the flu does every year. This is not the apocalypse.
    Try to quell your panic, it looks unseemly. You're racers, for God's sake.

    There's nothing political there, just some people seem convinced that this has to be some science fiction movie
    where the human race is threatened and it just ain't gonna happen. Shades of Y2K.

    Remember, there's only 2 roads out of this place. Could get congested.

    I really hope you are correct, but I'm seeing more and more info coming out that's not painting a very cheery picture. Again, don't keep thinking this is "just the flu", it really isn't. The flu doesn't do this to people....

    If you're old, you're immunocompromised, you have co-morbidities I get it....you might die, fine. But this here is a valid concern....this is for the rest of the people who have mild or asymptomatic conditions yet the virus is still deteriorating the lung tissue. Not the flu bro.

    Pasadena.


    Panicking? I'm going to GTFO of LA for a while because I can, it's going to be a working vacation. Hopefully get the family used to living somewhere else. Maybe we'll stay.

    Either swift state action works to contain the pandemic, or the pandemic spreads exponentially absent or in spite of such measures, the healthcare system collapses and we institute utterly draconian measures. Yes most of us will live regardless, but we're heading for global economic collapse.

  9. I just saw a family of 4 in London Heathrow that looked like they were going into space.

    They were in full Tyvek (plastic) suits, with the hoods on, plus boot covers over their shoes, and they were all wearing masks AND goggles.

    They aren’t fucking around. :crackup:

    I was gonna get their picture but the airport is like a ghost town. So everyone stands out.

    Yeah but why? They have better health care and testing. At least that’s what I’ve been told.

    That article is two weeks old. And with the difference in behavior of the virus between what we saw in China and what we see in Italy and the resulting death rate, its very likley that the strain we see in Italy is far more destructive and deadly than the one in China. Mutations matter.

    I think the panic has a little bit to do with the fact that people don't want to face their own mortality. The propaganda machine had people convinced about how advanced society is now and I think most people have been coddled into thinking that for the most part we've got this figured out and nothing can happen that we can't control. I mean for fucksake they got people thinking we can affect global warming if you just pay more taxes.

    I have always said that people seemed entirely too obsessed with hanging on to whatever this is instead of treating it as a rite of passage.

    Times like these remind us that we ain't in the driver's seat.

    I've been saying for a while we need a big natural disaster or something similar to give the current generation of whiny spoiled bitches a harden the fuck up dose of reality. I guess this is it.

    Except it's going to backfire and make them even more dependent. It's all they know.

  20. I’ve got enough good gas and 2T oil to last a bit, if it all shuts down we can still ride at least. Around my house it’s wake up. Do school work. Go play outside. We are killing the virus and making a blanket of 2t smoke to stop the virus. Well that and we are isolating to our hood which is not densely populated. Time to go spread pine straw. Only 120 bales left before next 200 arrive Monday.
