I guess the plan is no longer waiting for it to disappear

in April.

While this may be a good idea - It may not have been the President’s place to suggest this.

Oh well. He could cure the Covid 19 tomorrow. And still take hits over not doing it sooner.

It’s a reasonable suggestion. Naturally, some here are going to lambast our Conservative President for making suggestion.

If the CV is around in July, the economy will be in deep recession, and Trump will have to start making plans for the transition to President Elect Biden.

I’m cancelling all jogging or outside exercise for the next 15 years.

I don’t want to take any chances.

Just to be REALLY safe, i’m stopping indoor exercising too.

The IOC and Japan have already been discussing this.

Remember how after 911, we sold our freedom for safety?

9/11 brought us the TSA. One of the worst attacks ever on our freedoms.

Maybe the Coronavirus will remove that evil.

Only problem with this is ... The Coronavirus would have to decimate the airline industry to a heap of smoking ahses so that there would be no more TSA.

Because the American people in time of deep distress can’t wait to hand the reins of power to a drooling brain-dead mannequin.

If I wasn’t concerned about it for the current time, I really am not concerned about it 5 months later.

Let the games go on. Wait a bit more then make an update and possible PP.

I think it’s pretty much a given.

You sure aren’t going to have Olympic Qualifying which pretty much would have started this month.

[Maybe the Coronavirus will remove that evil.]

I doubt that. I predict it would make travel even more difficult. One more level of “screening”.

In addition to the intrusive pat-down from the TSA, you’re going to have to pull down your pants and get a thermometer shoved up your rear to check for fever before proceeding to your flight.
