Knoxville Raceway Cancels Remainder of 2020 Racing Season

How many workers tested positive? Send everyone home for 2 weeks and let it rip. It seems ridiculous that they shut down for the year.

There were several sprint car teams & crews, fans and even local residents that have came down with it in the last 2 weeks (it is highly contagious). From my understanding, the city/county was going to shut it down if they did not do it.

Over reaction just like everything else. They should have waited 2 weeks to see what the outbreak looked like then made a decision. So just how many people came down with the virus ? To some if it was 1 then it was time to board up everything and lock yourself in a closet.

So what? How many were false positives? How many were asymptomatic? How many were hospitalized? New cases aren't relevant at all. Only deaths and hospitalizations are, and they are dropping rapidly. Apparently when this thing turns into the common cold, which is a Coronavirus, we're still going to be "counting cases". Or just up until the election.

And they are all home now. It's highly contagious if you spend 15 minutes within 6 feet of a shedder. I've read all the science and been there, done that with the disease. I can trace my own infection back and who did and didn't get it, the incubation time, everything is text book. Panic never solved a problem.

Maybe they shouldn’t be stupid by letting fans in the pits? The stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. 25% capacity in the stands and than let people free for all after the races. Sometimes people need to think, it made no sense.

Someone asked for stats, 52 new cases in Marion County IA the last 2 days, 93 in the last week and 120 since the one and only

330 cases since the beginning. 93 in the last week. They are rising.

Except the tests aren't accurate and the cases are being inflated on purpose all over the country. With the election coming up the BS will become even worse. Again, the media wants you to think rising cases matter, but they won't tell you why. Most people are asymptomatic so do they really matter? Are we going to start counting every flu and cold case too?

Kind of like in the NFL where they had 77 false positives among 11 teams. For sure the numbers can't be trusted.

The general public is not getting the rapid tests that result in false positives.

20% are asymptomatic.

Numbers are up because more idiots are being tested, and those numbers are flaud because of the % of people coming up false positive.
