Yeh they think just cause we refuse to tote the party line we must be ignorant. If they only knew the full worry about this virus they would be ****tin their britches. My cousin who is a researcher with the CDC tells me the part they are holding back on publicizing is the real airborne threat of this virus. Its way more prone to aerisol transferance than most folks know. Along with the ability to stay viable for longer than 3 days on surfaces.

Dan you get the same response from these guys regarding thermalling low, downwind turns, landing out regularly, flying low performance birds, and abject dependance on electronic aids-to-flight (flarm etc) . Discussions regarding any of those five topics is bound to start a forest fire on here lol. I guess we need to ad personal freedoms vs social responsability to that list lol.

That is really not news - many anecdotal accounts have confirmed this as . Nonetheless, they have also determined that it can exist for up to 3 days on hard surfaces:

All I know is that you said A LOT of wrong things in your posts. Pardon me for trying to save your life...

2G I surely don’t need you to save my life. Yours is one of the ballsyist statements I’ve ever heard on here. Goes along with your advise for me to not land out, not thermal low and to fill my bird with electric gizmo’s cause if I don’t I will die.

If your concern is genuine, that I would surely appreciate. We do have a social consciousness to honor both within our communities and within the smaller subset of our soaring community. But I am afraid I am not picking up the vibe of genuine concern coming from you, only anger toward someone who doesn’t conform to your idea of how one should behave.

As for saying alot of “wrong things in my posts” I think I clearly relayed the bonefied sources of data and logic which supported my reasoning. Once again, if you are living in the midst of an infected area, do whatever you and the govt feel you need to do. I don’t. My county has ZERO cases of covid, my entire state is only reporting 50 cases total! I am loosing zero sleep over my chances of infection or my chances of infecting anyone else thru glider flying. If you don’t accept that so be it.
