If a cessation of a group activity is deemed necessary then it will have to be for several months. There is no way this is going to be disappearing in a month in any European country. |

It disappears when R0 goes below 1.0 and stays there. It seems terribly unlikely that social distancing alone will do that. Development of herd immunity is likely the only long term solution, and that either means a successful vaccine or an awful lot of people getting sick. Get some sun / make some vitamin D. Even if you think that's quackery, it'll still feel good :-). T8 |

You're much more likely to pick up an infection at the grocery store than outdoors at a glider field.
Wouldn't hurt to wipe controls when changing pilots. The most suspect location will be the clubhouse and other interior spaces. There's a good chance this new virus will become endemic. |
