And did the 20,000 attendees at the car show produce more deaths?

But, if you decide to "protest".....Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!

With 20,000 people there the chances are that some might be infected....as you know it only takes one of two to spread it to a load more...which will inevitably find its way to some more venerable folks and "possibly" deaths. But of course there could be no folks infected whilst there....who really knows?...I doubt you have track and trace either like we do so tracking a source cant be easy.. It the casual attitude that's put you where you are now. We cant have gathering of more than 30 over here!! BLM riots excepted of course....but they seem to have stopped now!

Love it.....completely true all of it!!….apart from we don't have to legally wear a mask outside (like some mainland European countries) just indoor spaces with crowds so shops etc but excluding bars and restaurants for obvious reasons....but they work under such straight rules that in the 6 weeks pubs have been back open Ive not been able to get into one....either fully booked or just at capacity. Luckily Im a Cricket Club member and we have a big members only (and very cheap!) bar!! That reporter is obviously very pissed off with the whole thing....much like most of us here.....but at least we are getting on top of it now....last Wednesday we had the first day since the end of Feb without a SINGLE covid 19 death....halleluiah!!

Three is still a 98+% survival rate. Even higher if you are under age 70 and healthy. When you have too much testing (that is certainly not accurate) combined with a media that is trying its best to portray things as negatively as possible, of course things sound worse than they really are.

 

[alfaitalia]

True....but with such a big population that tiny % is still a **** load of US citizens…..about 176,000 deaths last count.....yeah I know lots on here don't believe those numbers but at least most places (like us) count them the same way.....so its comparable. That's more than three times the servicemen you lost in 'Nam....yet this seems acceptable to the USA and lots don't seem to care (a least that's how its reported over here....and the residents on this forum seem to back that up).....whereas the residents of other countries are angry with their governments handling of the virus with just a few thousand deaths. Anyway I can see this going political in the wrong forum section....and this has been discussed at length....many, many times!!….so im off back to work!!

This was the settlement from June when Carlisle was trying to reopen. We may not have know the details but this was the result of that lawsuit. I would love to know the politics behind this.

Big Corvette weekend coming up. Fall flea market left this year and that’s it.

You think they will ever know if someone died from being there,it happened n water doesnt flow backwards,it happened people are happy, time foe media to move on

 

[gkent]

I just look at it as a culling of the herd. The US has the highest number of cases on the planet as well as the highest death rate. Keep it up. Cull the herd enough and eventually you won't need wars to keep your economy afloat!

 

[alfaitalia]

Whoa!......little harsh perhaps!. Im hoping there was a hint of irony there!!

 

[khryslerkid]

So did everyone have a good time at the show!

As a retired attorney in PA I followed this pretty closely. Key to why the Carlisle shows happened, and other stuff didn't, Carlisle Events had the motivation and funds to litigate. I learned early on in law school, you get as much justice as you can afford. Not fair, but that's how the system works. I finally quit the game, after working for first the little guy, and later, a corporate employer, when my gag tolerance gave out.

The Commonwealth Court judge applied an equal protection test to the case, basically saying that the gathering at the car show fell under the same standard as the protests (which the governor had endorsed), and that the Health Department couldn't have it both ways. Confidential settlements are the norm in litigation, not something unusual. In my seven years as a general counsel, we had over 100 settlements, but never did a jury trial. The Health Department was on shaky legal ground, and was prudent to settle.

I have attended the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle every year since it started in 1991. This year I was going to take a pass, and run my '69 GTX over the block at Mecum Harrisburg. I think it was meant to be that Mecum got cancelled and I went to Carlisle 30 years in a row. I was pleased to be able support the event, and was amazed how many Ford and Chevy guys came up to me and said we were all in this together trying to keep Carlisle going.

Imagine that money and politics were involved......that almost never happens

That's ironic! Better mention to your friend that if Biden gets elected, no more fossil fuels, which means no more hotrods haha

Viet Nam if you will. It is only 'Nam to the men that served there. Respectful request.
