The Doctor may be erring on the side of caution. But the Health Dept may step in and order it because she was working in an area with a bunch of people.

rmaynard 14,893 #54 Posted March 21, 2020 I always go back and reread my posts before hitting the send button, because invariably the spelling or a complete word will have changed. Even then, like some cruel hoax, hitting the send button evokes a gremlin that changes things yet again. I feel your pain. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #55 Posted March 23, 2020 One big difference between this virus and the flu is that there is no effective cure for this virus. None. If the virus is still running wild and the country is basically shut down in June the Show will the least of our concerns. By that time many of our older members (myself include) might not be here. All of us will probably have buried a family member or close friend. Many members will be having serious financial problems. Tractor shows will not be a priority. For those of you who insist on going anywhere you want and do whatever you want,stay away from any of your elderly or sickly family members or friends. If you insist on seeing them apologize for killing them. You won't be able to visit them in the hospital or go to their funeral so do it in advance. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,739 #58 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Like to hear that Mike.. I fear our big local only GT show in Portage WI in July is going to canceled as well as our other must attend shows. If it does I'm going to have a show here at the ranch. Might just be me and @Achto and a few others in attendance but we'll still have line ups, good eats & booze cruzes!

A dear friend just passed away today (not from coronavirus), there will not be a funeral service or memorial service until the all clear has been sounded, can't even visit his widow as she is in a nursing facility. 11 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,494 #61 Posted March 24, 2020 I was thinking the same thing guys. Maybe a show with all the horses out in the field. Might even have to camp out with them and have a campfire to keep them warm. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,767 #65 Posted March 27, 2020 Pa. has over 2200 confirmed cases with over 1000 new confirmed cases in the past two days with 22 fatalities. With 29 cases, our County is under mandatory lock down starting at 8PM today. We did get some groceries yesterday, but there was no TP, bottled water, or milk. Guess tomorrow we'll boil water and look for some soft leaves. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone so concerned about TP. You Know in Many countries they don't worry about TP They Use a wash cloth or there Left Hand(middle east). When I was Visiting My wife's sister Family Up In Quebec No TP In the house Only a Bidet and a wash cloth & I got the dirtiest looks Like I was unclean from them when I brought out a role of TP from My truck Heck the Romans Used a sponge On a stick. So if I run Out of TP I am Not worried can always use a wash cloth and we do Have a Bidet In the House Last owners Put it In. But I would Have to be desperate to sit On it . Funny I am a former snake eater always had a Case worth Of TP in My Deployment bag 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericj 1,576 #75 Posted April 21, 2020 As some of you know I am on the board of directors for the WHCC. It is with deep sadness that I can confirm that the board decided to day to cancel the show for 2020. The fair board recemended tat we cancel. They are not letting groups of more then 50 people use the grounds. Adams county is sparsley populated so it may get released early for larger group meeting, but where you live may not be released by then. We are trying to look out for all of our members and their saftey. We are all gonna miss the show, but these are unpresidented times we are in right now. I'm afraid that there are not going to be many shows this summer and maybe even into the fall. I'm sorry about the spelling errors, I'm working out of town right now and using my wifes old laptop and can't get spell check to work for me. everyone stay safe out there eric j 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
