Canada US Border

[Bob Gullett]

Just announced. Closed at least another 30 days. Sucks!

Yeah it sucks and it doesn't. Not going to Indy sucks, Not having our Covid numbers spike is great.

What are our Canadian friends hearing about when the border could possibly reopen? I’m hearing rumblings it could possibly stretch several months into 2021. Have some great memories of going to Mission BC and hoping all of you can rejoin the fray next year. Additionally, I had planned trips this year (motorcycle to Alaska for the second time and RV on Vancouver Island for a month) that had to be scrapped but both require a lot of planning. PM if you prefer...thanks.

I just read that the major youth hockey association in the Toronto area is shut down through the rest of 2020 due to spiking case numbers is Ontario, so the border probably isn’t opening anytime soon.

I did some calculations and this should explain why the borders will be close for a while.
World population 1919 1.7 billion. World population now 7.8 billion.
600 million infected 60 million deaths. 119 million infected 1.1 deaths
The world has been able to control the number of deaths by the number 6. What nobody tells you is that our main enemy is CYTOKINE STORM to our immune system and we are responsible for it(our body goes to war against us) Politicians from all groups have been using fear to separate all of us, to what end I don't know but if you want to live just do the simple thing, clean your hands, wear a mask at this time and don't let your immune system get rundown(work to death, wearing shorts and tee shirts in the middle of winter.lol and for goodness sake don't spread it by being belligerent toward others by not taking proper care. It could have been real worse and could still get worse.my two cents.

I talked to a truck driver today and asked him when the boarder might reopen and he said they are not even talking about it till January and maybe opening June or July of next summer. Sucks for all racers north of boarder till mid season 2021.

Steve, wished you lived here, and you could be a liberal democrat. And your healthcare is so wonderful in Canada.......not.

I can't speak for Steve, but as much as I love going to your country (Brainerd, Fargo, Earlville, Cordova, Vegas, Phoenix etc.), I am very satisfied with healthcare north of the border. I have no problem with keeping the crossings shut until your elections and your own issues with Covid have been resolved. In the meantime, plenty of tracks up this way.

Sounds like the Canadian government has also shut the boarder down until next year sometime or maybe if the number of cases start to decrease in the US .

The Canadian side seems to be seeing a small spike in Covid cases as well. We'll all get through this!
