Like most of us, I am not interested in the drivel they call "crap". I want to know all the stuff that affects Kent and our local area.. so this virus does not affect Kent speedway then , but has an effect on all other sports inc speedway in the uk . aye ur right , lol .

The whole point being that, whatever the subject, if it's on the Kent page, it should be related to Kent. But half the stuff is personal comments from one Geordie to another. We should be discussing what we would or would not do if and when Speedway starts up again. What do we expect ? Can we go into a stadium with a 2m distance between all the fans ? In Central Park, I think we could as there are 2000 seats plus loads of other standing areas all round the track, all with good viewing. Little of this is used normally with just a few fans on bend one and very few on the back straight. This would IMO enable 2m distances to be easy to achieve. Even so, at my age I will still be very nervous about taking the risk. Would it be practical and beneficial if ll fans were asked to wear face masks ? And gloves ?.

Not sure where you got that idea from, but I will give you some stats. 91,000 Americans have died from Covid-19. 640,000 Americans die from cancer - every year. 647,000 Americans die from heart disease - every year. The vast majority (over 90%) of deaths from Covid-19 have been over 65 and/or suffering from underlying health conditions. These are not indicators of a disease that is likely to threaten civilisation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were saying that we could all be wiped out, yet even when it is all said and done, it is very unlikely to even be the largest single cause of death...

You are right of course to a certain extent, but does lockdown prevent cancer and heart disease in the same way it does Covid-19 spreading? How many would have died from Covid-19 without strict rules on isolation and distancing? The figures you give are not really comparable.

How many would have died from Covid-19 without strict rules on isolation and distancing? The figures you give are not really comparable. I get what you are saying, but again, for the overwhelming majority of healthy under-65's, infection would not prove fatal. Even though we have "rules" and guidelines here in the US, it is incredible how many people do not follow them, so even if the number were multiplied tenfold, even a hundredfold, that is still a drop in the bucket. When you look at the fact that virus deaths are being exaggerated by "Covid-19" being listed as a cause of death, even when it is clear that they died from other causes, and that a fair percentage of those victims (particularly the elderly and and infirm), would have passed away this year anyway, you should see what I am getting at. Yes, it's very sad when people die, but none of us are going to get off this planet alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now over 60,000 people in the UK alone should have been diagnosed with cancer during this period.. and haven't been. The clock is ticking for them sadly.

Is there anyone out there who wants to talk about Speedway at Central Park ? I hear enough about Covid 19 every time I switch on the telly and am getting a bit fed up with it. It is serious of course, but none the less I'd like to forget it for the moment and discuss Speedway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get on SpeedwayGB every day, on the web for eg. Get on Twitter #speedway, get on Facebook -- all this stuff is out there. This site is NOT the place for news...comment is its strong point. On social media, follow the right people As I'm not savvy enough to be on facebook, twitter or any other communication outlets, I do rely on some of my info from this column which is easy to use for an old fashioned old git like me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
