    Maybe Illinois lock down orders causing problems?

    No, but also no indication if and when they will be able to open. Certain areas of the state are still dealing with lock downs. A lot of uncertainty for promoters in several states. Not seeing many track schedules for Illinois tracks so far. Just a thought on a possible reason. Anyone who knows more, please weigh in.

    Currently in Illinois you are prohibited to be served a meal or a drink indoors. Worrying about something 5 months away seems pointless.

    Being from Illinois, Covid didn't slow down my racing schedule this past year. Just started a little bit later than normal.

    Yup. And he's been pretty vocal about it. Local police in my town say they won't enforce it.

    I know several places that have tried to stay open. Some have fell victim to the health czars and had a license revoked. I feel sorry for all of them. Also I feel for all the musicians that can't get a gig now because very few places are allowing any live music currently. Recovery for some will be a huge challenge. The legislature hasn't done much in 6 months in Illinois. The governor has dictated all the closures.

    I figure by time I'm eligible to get the vaccine there will be plenty of evidence on the vaccines effectiveness. After all the healthcare workers, firemen, policemen, teachers deservedly get theirs. The nursing home residents, politicians, convicts, athletes get theirs, maybe I'll be able to get in line by June or July.

    Unless you're in one of the vulnerable groups it doesn't make much sense to get a vaccine that is 95% effective for a virus that 99.9% of people survive. Just my opinion.

    I just hope American people as a whole realize we can’t be a hospitality nation. People that manufacture have never been deemed non-essential. If we don’t make anything we are useless to the rest the world.
