I almost bought one of those for my son but the parts availability was questionable at the time. Has that cleared up? My boy is 11 so he breaks his.... A LOT. EDIT: If parts are available i'd rock one of them for myself so me and the boy can bash in the yard. EDIT 2: I was looking at this guy: https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLFWTNL&P=C

I’m personally running under the assumption that everyone is “at risk”.

What about those “at risk” being told to get back to work? I can see this boiling over and there’s too much grey area. Going to cause further problems. What about those who believe they are not “at risk” then suddenly die? Who’s responsible there?

PA will have to open alcohol sales back up to keep their people in check!

WV is a ticking time bomb IMHO and with the flood of PA people over the border to buy booze, there is cause for concern. WV locked down alcohol sales from out of state buyers so now they are flooding Ohio.

Something we can agree on. I can see people getting stir crazy and when warmer days hit, all hell is likely to break loose. EDIT: What do you think would be worse though, setting a date then pushing it back possibly more than once or leaving it open ended in limbo. I could see picking a date then pushing it back multiple times being overall worse as people would get frustrated and stick to the original date no matter what.

Badass

My only thought is that asymptomatic people *could* have had it prior, but without testing, there is no PROOF. Probable? Yes very much so but that doesn’t equate to proof. I believe in raw data more than anything else and at this point it is pure speculation as there was zero testing back then.

How can one be sure he didn’t get it recently and was asymptomatic?

No experience on that one but the reason many recommended traxxas is parts are everywhere so if/when you break it, the fix is usually easy. Plus there are tons of upgrades available all over. Keep that in mind while shopping. If you can’t get parts you’ll end up with a paperweight when you bust something.

I agree. $100 isn’t really enough unless you get a steal of a deal on a used one. I bought my son a traxxas for around $250 and it’s held up to all the abuse an 11 year old can throw at it so far.

But those of us particularly susceptible are interested, and if those who aren’t were unrestricted the death toll is likely to have been extremely higher.

We just had a wave of retirements announced. I’m expecting layoffs will be announced next. :-(

Agreed. If people get too restless they will throw caution to the wind and we’ll have another surge. Edit: not to mention we’ll have overzealous employers forcing people back to work too soon.

I think generally everyone wants to get going again and that can be jumpstarted with testing. I don’t have a Facebook. So no.

I take all the stuff I see with a grain of salt. The health care is aggressive because they are trying to keep people safe, I get that. Others are downplaying everything because they want the economy to restart and get going again. I just with there were more facts and some middle ground out there.

Bit of a drive but over here there’s this place. https://www.coleraingolfcar.com/

Not disagreeing, just stating my family seems to prefer I stay alive. At least that's what they tell me for now.:gabe:

It's easy to write off a million or two people if you feel like it won't be you. If you were for sure one of those million or two people slated to die, no price would be high enough to stop it. If i'm wrong there, feel free to go to your local hospital and volunteer to get people better faster so we all can get back to work.

It's coming, see posts here in this thread for a prime example. Everyone isn't seeing the "millions dead" and overflowing hospitals likely because the lockdowns are doing what they are supposed to do. Since they aren't seeing though, they think it was an overreaction and we need to get going because these lockdowns are just too much. Only time will tell.

I think there is so much pressure to get the economy going again that people are willing to find a reason to look the other way.

Personally, I think this is a great approach for those in a rush to get the economy going. If those are in such a hurry to get things going, go to the hospitals and get in there working to get people better and back out into the workforce. That will build herd immunity that much faster and we all can get back to work sooner. Otherwise, follow the advice and let’s stay the course because I’m not willing to risk my life and health for a damn paycheck. If I get let go over it so be it. This too.
