Should BWitcher get infected by COVID-19, then no, I would not expect him to need any treatment (certainly nothing out of the ordinary), and certainly not need a hospital bed. Sadly, with your medical history, James, you may be more at risk. Before you say anything, I do not consider that I am "at risk", but my wife (who has several underlying health conditions, including a compromised immune system), would be.

The trouble is that you seem to believe the blanket panic that has continued to spread. As Mark said, increased testing has increased the number of confirmed infections, but for the vast majority - who are relatively healthy, and not over 80 - it is not a serious issue. I have lost a couple of friends to it, and know several others who have been infected, but again, for most victims, it is nothing more than .a minor complaint.

Here in the US, which as you know, has been affected badly, it is still not the civilisation-threatening affliction that many make it out to be. So far, we've had 194,000 deaths from the virus. That sounds a lot, I agree, but (and I know this will sound harsh) a good number of those would have succumbed to other ailments, particularly underlying ones, this year.

The fact is that over 600,000 Americans a year die from heart disease, and a further 600,000 die from cancer. Even though people may die "from" COVID-19, many will actually be dying from their underlying conditions.

Unfortunately, we've been brainwashed into believing that, if you die while suffering from COVID-19, that means you died FROM it, which is totally untrue. For most of us, it is nothing to worry unduly about - and certainly not worth bringing the world to a standstill for...

Unfortunately, this kind of thinking is why the U.S. looks like a third world country when it comes to our covid 19 deaths which were mostly caused by poor, excuse me, no leadership from our president.

Prague will go ahead according to the club on facebook. They say the Gorzow paddock rumours is all 'fake news'.

All GP events financially are based around revenue from TV and its associated feeds and advertising...its too late to re-arrange all the requirements of the event.....

Funny that as the deaths are the highest in the Democrat states.

Don't let truth get in the way though.

Any chance of BWitcher disappearing back to waffle complete nonsense on his Covid-19 thread, so that we can get on with discussing the Prague rounds. 

Intriguing couple of rounds ahead. Woffy is traditionally strong around Prague - can he come strong and get himself back into contention?  On the other hand, not a track that Zmarzlik seems to like!  But Lindgren seems to be the rider who is pulling out all the stops at the sharp end of meetings, which is critical under the new points system.

As usual you arrive with a personal vendetta. Numerous people discussed it.. and I didn't raise it.

As for complete nonsense, everything I have said is 100% factually correct.

You are right though, let's stick to the meeting.

Glad it is going ahead at Prague, may not be the best race track but does offer something different to the Polish tracks. I agree with you that it's a chance for Woffinden to post some big points although he'll need to be gating well.

Are the Anlas tires still banned?

What "kind of thinking", and what SHOULD we be thinking?

As far as I know, they are banned "until further notice"; there haven't been any statements to the contrary (at least not visible statements).

Bydgoszcz  will be announced today I reckon (last logistical day to do it). 

Not the amount of virus in Czech Republic the issue but the concern that if 1 person gets tested positive over the weekend the Series Finale and PL in Poland are at risk.

Polish Federation dictates again.

Watch this space

 

Well, we're all watching.........
