Default Coronavirus impacting activities?

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.

I am guessing/assuming.....I may be incorrect....

Sounds like some are likely to need to watch.....

Soylent green....soylent green
Or Logans run....
Both are 1970's era movies......both sorta fit the concept of, "you get old, you die" sorta thang....

Wait until you hit this point in time....

Keep in mind, most "old folks" either paid/helped pay for you to fly early on, or support flying where you are...
Yes, I have heard from a few "20 something's" that current virus is a "boomer doomer".....I plan to be around to annoy some youngers for a few more decades....as Monty Python would say..."I'm not dead yet!!!"... much to the chagrin of my 20 something kidlets....

LOL! My county (Benton, WA) also had ZERO cases less than a week ago: as of today it has 3 deaths and 11 cases. I repeat, lack of symptoms DOES NOT mean no infection: just go ask your cousin!

BTW, you're welcome.

Tom, you are banging your head against a thick wall mate. There are
those in this world who will refuse to do what they are asked to do, find
excuses why they know better and just carry on despite the harm that
they may do to others. I believe you have a name for them over your
side of the pond.
They are insignificant little people in all ways except the harm they do
to others, best to ignore them completely and hope Darwinism will
eventually prevail.

Yeh we have a name for them, there called to Independant, the Free, the Innovators, the Leaders, the Winners, the Self Sufficient. Sounds like some here have lost the capacity for independent thought or action, oh well, nothing new....see it in the air all the time, the inability to make a decision, the freely think for ones self...... ya better just keep following the other guy.

I guess it transfers to the ground.....oh wait, this is a chicken vs egg thing, which came first? ..... ya must feel real insecure without your social “flarm” in operation........better keep following...baah..baah...baah
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Hey there “Mate”, must sound kinda familiar to you “down” under 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑.....what’s that you say? No personal gun ownership allowed?.....”baah baah baah”.

I always knew LAMB chops were tasty, yeh follow the herd, feels real secure doesn’t it...but it usually leads to an “inclosure” and...... whats that I see at the end of the trail?.....oh I know what that is.........its the slaughter house.....Oh now thats a funny sound ....kinda makes a dull “THUNK...THUNK” sound........ ever hear of a livestock stun gun?.....gee I think the “stunning” is already in full operation, it must have started years ago.

Well I guess all I can say is, enjoy the trail while your on it, lots of pretty views, feels real secure and stable under your little hooves, and plenty of people directing you along your happy way.
