Coronavirus and the Lucas races next weekend

[lurker]

The responsible thing to do is shut down all racing events until they get this virus contained.

You might just get your wish.

Just wow.....maybe everyone should rent a bubble and suck their thumb. Oh wait, you can't touch your face or mouth.

Should they postpone until this passes?

No disrespect but you must be an idiot. I got an idea; let's listen to the media blow it way out of proportion.

Nathan calling someone else an idiot.... wow... that sure is like the pot calling the kettle black...

To just pretend it doesn't exist ... is pretty naive. The medical community is taking this very seriously. It's a legitimate concern. With every other strain of flu, there's a vaccination. There is no vaccination for COVID-19 yet. I'm not walking around with a mask on all day, but I'm making sure I don't take any unnecessary risks. It didn't prevent me from going to Smoky Mountain last week and it won't stop me from going to whatever my next public event is either.

If there is nothing to be concerned about then why is the government taking the steps their taking. There is nothing fake about this, It's not fake news it's just news. Just think of the spread had the media not warned us about the virus. Just listen to the health officials and take their advice and not from any politician because, all they do is politicize it which means not getting the truth. Take all precautions you can or would like to.

If you have respiratory issues, or you are over 60, be concerned. But you can't hide from something that probably isn't leaving.

Sounds like you have been listening to the health officials. I Never said for anyone to hide. I never said everyone should stay home. All I'm saying is listen to your health officials and not Politicians and it's not fake news. Just ask the son's and daughter's of the parents they have lost do to this virus if it's fake.

I think you know why many aren't taking the news outlets real seriously right now......about anything.

Over 20,000 people have died from influenza in the US this year. Nobody seems to worried about those numbers.

Keep drinking the Kool Aid. If you don't want to go that's your problem, don't try to get everyone else involved in the propaganda.

The mortality rate for the common flu is 0.1%. The mortality rate for COVID-19 is currently around 3.4% and will probably end up around 1% once more complete numbers are in. So for those of us who are math challenged, that means it looks like this is going to end up around 10 TIMES more deadly than the regular flu. So you can listen to the talking heads on TV who have absolutely no medical expertise tell you that the normal flu is more deadly, but you'd be an idiot to believe them.

It's not nearly as bad as the press is making it out to be, but only a moron would think it's less dangerous than the regular flu.

Google Dr. Anthony Fauci and read what he has to say. He's an actual doctor who specializes in this stuff. He'll tell you not to panic, but don't believe the people who are just blowing this off like it's nothing.

Why would you cancel events for it? If your afraid of it stay home. If not wash your d@mn hands and cover your face when you cough or sneeze.

So does the cdc check their website its not as big a big deal as it's being made out to be. obviously we want to prevent it from spreading. The government is taking steps to protect the economy because people are panicking thanks to the media and in this great digital age we live in. You can read something on Facebook and dump all your stocks seconds later without ever looking up from your phone

Just a simple question. Do you think everything the government does is good or for the good?
