    Arnold Classic this weekend, no spectators allowed but all competitors from over 80 countries are OK.
    No screening necessary according to CDC very low probability of contamination.
    Here we go........................................

    Yes, with all that is going on, how can you let people from 80 countries in with zero screening, I will tell you, millions of tax dollars in Columbus.

    Right where I want to be.
    80 competitors plus entourage for each. Lots of unscreened.
    What could go wrong?

    Ohio Dept. of Health says they have it under control, local hotels are going to do extra more thorough cleaning of rooms. I have zero faith in govt.

    So then why do you want them to keep the visitors out or screen them? (scratches head)

    So, the checks aren't completely foolproof, but that sure as heck doesn't mean you don't bother checking at all.
    We don't really even want to go to the "big city" up here because the I-75 freeway is right in the middle of it......which leads straight to one other BIG city airport (more than one, but it's the biggest), where folks are coming and going EVERYWHERE.
    Yeah, let's stick our heads in the sand.....it'll be fine.
    Wife saw a news clip that showed some idiots wearing those cheapy, crappy face masks with the top of it BELOW the nose, resting on their upper lip. :headbang::deadhorse:

    Same here, I stay home and when I go to "work" on my rehab I walk across my property to it. Zero human contact.

    I saw the old Forrest Gump sitting on a park bench meme that said "Suddenly, everyone stopped making fun of preppers.". I thought there was probably a lot of truth to that.

    Well they announced today they are letting in spectators, yesterday they said no spectators contamination odds have gone up drastically IMO.
    The rep. kept repeating that this brings in 54 million to the economy.............................

    Well they wound up doing the right thing last minute, No spectators allowed. Parents and guardians of kids in the lobby only. Spokesman for Arnold was rather upset, making a valid point. Why are no other venues being cancelled, Cavaliers, Blue Jackets etc. They will be refunding all vendors and ticket holders.

    My guess is the Arnold will be in a different city next year.
