Once again... you do not disappoint.  Your dr. Story was so funny.  I laughed and then I realized it was the first time today as this has been one of the most stressful In mY life.  I of course could not pull off rolling that story.  It would be so funny for me to even try saying that one.  Oh my!   But the point was made and you can not forget it.

During this covid thing I have not spent a single day in quarantine.  The longest spell I was at home was 48 hours.  And that was because I was just plain whooped!  I needed to rest.  I have been in airports.. hotels... gas stations etc ....etc .  In fact, I have eaten out almost every single day.  In my journeys .... I have encountered a lot of fear. 

I have read your post that people unnecessarily sit by you at the races and that you and your friends joke about it.  Well now.... I also have many people gravitate to me that I do not know.  Because of my spiritual based core ... I feel that God  brought them there for a reason.  YOU never know ... what word of knowledge that you might share ... that God wants them to hear.  God knows what you know and God knows what they need to know.  And yes,  I know that you are not really into that religious thing. And I am ok with that.  But It makes me sad because an angel of God themselves might take that seat and you will have missed out.   Laughing them to scorn with your posse .  Just a thought...  not a condemnation... just a thought..  You never know when angels cross your path.  I think ... I mAy have messed up a few times myself.  Actually...I am quite sure of it.  A time comes to mind.  But hopefully next time I will be perfect.

I  will share the story of how bad... I myself was.  There was a man parked in front of my house off to the side. It’s a fairly large estate and  My house sits down a long lane  threw the trees.  Previously my home and my neighbors had been robbed and the police dogs trailed them to this very location.  Now I approached this man and asked why he was there.  With annoyance mind you.... and he said to me.  I sit hear every morning before I go to work and pray.  Oh my!  Now here is a man telling me that he looks over the property that God has Blessed me with and says his prayers starting his day... every day.  Now.... Was I nice to this one?  No... to my shame I was not.  I literally told him in my firmest... no nonsense tone...  to move it along.  I think I said something like you can pray while your driving  like everyone else.  I will be taking your license plate number because you are a suspicious person.  Oh Boy!  Ok I was a little short of perfect that day. 

So being that you use "anti maskers" and "old people" separately in your posts about the subject, I have one question for you.  How do you explain the, as you call them "old people", crowded all around us at Port on a weekly basis, sans masks???? They don't seem to fit your argument.  And believe me, there are quite a few that sit around us, no masks in sight.  Soo, just curious as you've clearly labed those of us who attend without a mask, the "anti maskers".  How very liberal of you to label all of us that go to the track, by the way.  Oh, and I'm double that "bulletproof" age you mention.

Correct and as some doctors explained it, if they are standing facing you and you are both naked and they pee on your leg, then you get piss on your leg. If you are wearing pants but the doctor is not and they pee on your leg you still get piss on your leg, just a heavily reduced amount and the pants absorbed it. If both you are wearing pants and the doctor pees it just gets all over the doctor.

Everyone can take a little responsibility as you do not know where the person sitting around you at the track has been. Could have stopped at the gas station on the way and who knows who was in said station at that time or all day. Someone could have sneezed in their hand touched a surface and that person touched the same surface and they may have through accident not washed/sanitized their hands after. I think a majority of people are trying their best but we are all human and forgetful at times. A little extra precautions really are not that big of a deal.

Ohio's Governor just tested positive. You can't make this shit up.

If I crap my pants, you smell it. If you crap your pants, I smell it. 

Thanks for verifying my point on why I won't attend races.  I will be 69 next month and manage a couple health risk factors common to the majority of people in my age group.  Your disregard for my concerns and turning them into a political insult confirms why I'm staying away from the tracks.  It's not about me, I am taking the necessary precautions but the concern is what others around me are doing.  I will be back when sanity returns and the threat of contracting something that might kill me just to watch a dirt track race has subsided. 

I'm half your age with no know medical conditions and I'm right there with you. The virus would more than likely show with very little to no symptoms for me. It still doesn't stop the fact that otherwise healthy individual have died or had their assesk kicked, there is still concern about this virus causing some level or organ damage and the biggest is people are just plain assholes. Have some damn compnassion and empathy for your fellow humans.

Ohio's Governor just tested positive. You can't make this shit up.

False alarm. This is common with quick tests for anything. The quick tests are geared to err on the safe side. After a positive result with quick test the more accurrate test which takes longer should b administered. It is the same with anitbiotic and other such tests in the food industry.

You are a super hypocrite and everyone knows it now. You posted about a "chicanoline" van  about a week ago and you don't consider that to be offensive. Typical religious nutjob. Do as I say...Not as I do..

No, it's not well said, at no rate will we pass 400,000 within one year. Math says, we need to average 1000+ deaths for the next 242 days. Not likely!

If muck is offensive, I propose we call them atypically moist, atypically dark, highly fertile, organic material people.  If we can't call what they plant and harvest in (muck) muck, let's call it that.

In my part of the world, there is quite a spike in cases.  But it is the youger crowd that is testing positive.  Most all of them are asympotmatic.  They're being tested becasue they want to, are having a procedure, or some reason other than they think they have covid.  And they surprisingly come back positive.  There is one person hospitlaized with covid (I doubt becasue of covid) in the 4 hospitals in my county today.  The rise in testing has parralelled the rise in cases.  No no one is getting sick and no one is dying though. 

The rules here are 100 people max at outdoor gatherings as long as everyone not from the same household is six feet apart.  Some tracks are still closed, one is jumping through a ton of ridiculous hoops to race, and the rest are all systems normal, packing in thousands every night.  No social distancing and no masks.   There's a new executive directive today regarding enforcement of the orders.  Whitmer is tired of most agencies saying they will not enfore her orders.  So we'll see if anything changes.     

This thing is serious and many people been sick or died from it. With said anyone who believes it has been the cause of death for 155,942 people is as far out in left field as the consiracy pushers are in right field. There is a differance between dying with it and dying of it.

If a person wears a mask and sanitizes regularly and takes care of THEMSELF,  then why do I need to wear a mask?  Again...if people make the CHOICE to protect themselves from the virus, why does it matter what others do?  Can somebody answer that question without copy and pasting a "statistical report" off the internet?  

You really don't have to wear your seat belt and you can probably go as fast as you want. I don't care if you kill yourself but keep innocent people out of your path.
