The question is meant to be rhetorical. BN's opinion would , most likely be 180 deg. out of phase with MY's.

Scale seems to be a problem for you. Comparing a single truck driver to a cat who wants to pack in tens of thousands of people is a bit of a stretch. No, it's a hell of a stretch.

"Pack in tens of thousands" Sounds a bit extreme.

However , not my question..Therefore not an answer.

"Perhaps you will understand this and perhaps you won't. In this context greed is anybody willing to risk the life of another human being for the sake of a GD dollar. Do you understand that?"

Direct quote from BN..hence my question.

thousands of people for opening....test n tune ..A points meet...give me a G.D brake !

If a track opens I feel as though I'm capable of making a good decision as to weather I can attend an open air event safely or not. Heck, I could even wear a mask and gloves. If I had health issues, I'd stay home. I'm comfortable with making decisions for myself.

something to think on:

South Korea has probably the most comprehensive testing yet. As of today, 160 some odd people have re-acquired the virus. Some say it may have gone dormant, hence the "flattening" of the curve. Or a rush to "normalize"?True or not, shouldn't we err on the side of caution?

Before I get hammered on this, this info was from WSJ

[Gregg Luneack]

Quarintine, inforced isolation for a fixed period of time for persons infected
or exposed to a contagious disease.
Tyrany, absolute power arbitrarily or unjustly admistered, a cruel exercise
of power.
You decide?

I work for an "essential" manufacturing company. There are a few thousand employees. Most of us wear masks, some wear gloves too. It has become second nature for me to clean common areas with a bleach/ water blend, wash, wash, wash my hands and use sanitizer often. Need to lotion up too. Folks with medical conditions have been allowed to stay home for 3 weeks. Most of us are pretty good at social distancing, not talking directly at each other, etc, by now. The cafeteria is open, but everything is wrapped up. We have had a couple of COVID-19 cases, but no deaths as far as I know. In the beginning it was sketchy: we didn`t know what to expect and we were all on edge. Everyone is pretty comfortable with work, at this point.
We are looking forward to testing kits, to make sure we are all clear. Social distance, wash, wash, wash. We can beat this.

I am at work and shouldn't be wasting time on the internet but this is the first opportunity I have had to sit since 0630 today and it is now 1615 in the afternoon and I wanted to see what is happening with my racing family. Part of the shelter-in-place is to reduce the risk of spread and reduce the potential contact sources. The other part of shelter-in-place is to reduce the risk of harm to oneself, or others, necessitating the need to enter the health-care system for treatment for an injury that may have been avoidable. Injuries happen, even going to the fridge to grab another beer, but wrenching on or under a car, engaging in racing activities, riding your motorcycle, joy-riding the streets because no one else is on the road and gasoline is a buck-fifty-a-gallon, all increases risk of injury.

No one, and I mean no one, wants to expose themselves to the hospital-setting with the Covid-19 floating around. Sit tight, take it easy, live to race another day. Sure this is wrecking the economy, but it is the best option we have at the moment to contain this.

Trust me, I know.
