CNN saying that the medical people told the President that the death toll could be more than 2 million, if people returned to normal activities too soon. If all of us practice social distancing the death toll is estimated at 100,000. In his news conference today, he did an about face on his comments about trying to get people to return to work by Easter. I think the President gets some pretty crazy ideas from the usual sources and then the medical people have to talk him down. Thank God for them. The nation owes them a lot.

Wondering
SHOULD THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPEN WITH NO TRACKS RUNNING
 WILL WE MAINTAIN THIS FORUM FOR OPEN DISCUSSIONS PERHAPS ON ANY TOPIC WE WISH TO PRESENT & SHARE HOPEFULLY YES ~  WE'VE COME SO FAR FOR SO LONG TOGETHER WE CANNOT LET A VIRUS COME BETWEEN US  PERHAPS IF WE HAVE NO RACING TO TALK ABOUT ~ THOSE OF US WHO HAVE A HORSE ~ COULD SHARE ANECDOTES OR ANYTHING HORSE RELATED

I imagine that we will continue to discuss things although there may be those that think some of us, that will go unnamed might be a little too loquacious. I am of course talking about myself here. Don't know why I tend to go overboard with my opinions on here. Maybe it's because I live alone and don't have much contact with others of the human kind or maybe it's simply that regular face to face conversation moves too quickly for me to keep up and with the internet I have more opportunity to organize my thoughts. If you met me in person, you probably would think me very reticent. Even though I want to continue to talk here about whatever the subject is, my fervent wish is that none of us or our loved ones will succumb to this virus.
As for racing shutting down, I have been thinking about that all morning and whether it is realistic to think that Oaklawn and other venues will be able to continue on in the face of this virus. The virus has proceeded here a little slower than other places, but sounds to me like it might be peaking about the time proposed for the Arkansas Derby. Hope I am wrong about that or on second thought maybe that would be good. Not that I want to miss the Derby, but hopefully, that might mean that our long nightmare is coming to an end?

You reticent Cal? If so keep it up. Totally enjoy reading your posts. Real Quiet is not just a screen name. It's a fact.

Hey Ruff, as obtuse as you are in a friendly, kindly, quirky way you are much easier to understand than the man sitting in the Oval office . That's as political as I will get here. Some who are friends of mine on FB I'm sure are tired of me defending the sanity of most intelligent people re: the national leadership we don't have.
 Stay safe all and follow the rules set forth by your local government leaders. This will pass, hopefully sooner than later.
