Austin just canceled SXSW. Is it safe to think Nationals will go on as planned. Is it safe to do so. I really want to go to Nationals, but I am 71 and concerned.
It is really too bad that USMS fell victim to the hysteria and panic decisions that this virus has wrought via the mass media. The funny (sad) part is that after this is all over in a few weeks, the same people who cancelled all sorts of events and closed businesses for "safety" will proclaim success and take credit for the few deaths caused or lower rate of contagion. Meanwhile, they have frightened an entire nation of trusting souls, ruined an entire season of sports nationwide, erased innumerable opportunities for students nationwide that will never be repeated, and ultimately shown just how easy it is to cow the public sector of the USA into doing the most ridiculous things for a mild viral infection. A new low in our history and we are all complicit.
