I might be forced to have to ride nawth and visit JJ, unless Wisconsin closes their borders too.
This post is not meant to offend any of our other good members from south of the Mason-Dixon Line - Just Mike!
OK - I've ignored you long enough Mike. You couldn't find Wisconsin even if you did figure out which way "nawth" is. We don't see many "Johnny Rebs" around here. But if they ever do start showing up we have a plan to blow up all the bridges on north-south highways. We have genetically altered mosquitoes that preferentially attack southerners and leave us alone. And there are secret ingredients in our beer and brats that repel ticks. Seriously, if this clears up I'd be happy to have you as a guest and/or riding partner.
So. many people are looking at this Kung Flu epidemic from a personal viewpoint and not considering how their behavior affects others and the spread of the virus. It looks like this is not a good year for traveling, especially for those of us over 60 (I think they mean chronologic age not mental age). At best I plan to do some local rides and possibly overnight rides where I can camp in the woods and I'll be taking my food with me for a change. Eating in restaurants is a bad idea right now. At worst, I'm staying home and I won't have to buy any new tires.
Historically, entire civilizations have been wiped out by disease. But that was before we had the mobility and inter-connections of continents and regions we now have. An infected person would have to walk hundreds of miles to infect another community. Before he could arrive he'd be dead or cured. Remember the TB events and all the sanitariums?
