    Not yet on the FUN site, but I also heard this from a trusted source.

    looks like online coin buying will continue to do well, just as online shopping for food is now

    We all are. Most of us have been good citizens and have done our part to stop the spread. IMHO large gatherings will only undo all the suffering we have already put in. Think long game.

    I'm that sure you're probably right. I've been being very careful, so far. I worry about all of the small businesses suffering, too.....MANY will not make it..... :'(

    We all are. If you're low risk then attend at your risk. I guarantee that someone there WILL have it and not know it. I also guarantee that someone there will leave WITH it and not know it. You breathe in what they exhaust. The more closely packed you are the more likely you are to get it. Better to be sick OF it than to be sick FROM it.

    I know. I just found out today that my nephew, his wife, and their 18-month old son all tested positive for COVID-19. The wife is suffering from pneumonia, but is still at home, for now. Her description on Facebook of what she is going thru rattled me a lot - she feels pretty terrible. Those who think this only hits the elderly badly, please note she celebrated her 39th birthday last week. Her son has a fever but I haven't heard more.

    I mentioned this in a thread weeks ago and was told that it wasn't and people said not according to the website etc...hmm, sure it wasn't officially cancelled when I said it but ummm, well, now there is this thread.

    Well said Mark. I personally don't plan on going to a show until there is a vaccine or a cure.

    I probably would not really care that much but since I am 60 years old and have Diabetes well I am prime candidate to have the worse outcome. So I make sure to wear my masks and follow all the strict social distancing cause I do not want to become a statistic. I want to make it at least another 30+ years! Good grief what would that look like? o:)

    I'd rather not have people suffering the effects of this hideous virus until they have concrete remedies to prevent more infections as we are seeing mainly in the cities. An older sister tested positive twice, and now tested symptom and covid free . There is freedom to go about all the activities you may like but also freedom from illness, I would rather have the latter.

    You saw what happened in the churches that opened across the country. Priests and such are dying in Texas and the south. Me, I'm for science, common sense and living. I've got plenty of freedom in my daily routine, thank you very much. Peace Roy

    I guess some are willing to take that chance that COVID-19 will cancel their life.

    Being in the high risk age group (no underlying conditions), I take reasonable precautions as recommended. Businesses are opening up now here, and we did not have a major infection/body count at all. I will go back to instructing when the range reopens...No doubt they will have guidelines for distancing and masks. I surely do not want to wear a mask for eight hours straight (yes, I know nurses and doctors do). Cheers, RickO

    Yes, but then you couldn't see all that nice carpeting I bought.

    Life goes on. And we all die, with or without coins and coin shows. Maybe next year.

    Along the Atlantic coast, the lack of a coastal blackout served to silhouette Allied shipping and thus expose them to German submarine attack. Coastal communities resisted the imposition of a blackout for amenity reasons, citing potential damage to tourism. The result was a disastrous loss of shipping, dubbed by German submariners as the "Second Happy Time".
