Reach1 I am concerned , I have chest trouble, my elderly mother has had pneumonia and 2 collapsed lungs , we are also isolating , ,we are well at the mo, but not taking any chances . I was just saying I'm fed up of being worried with them telling us how many people are likely to die and be prepared on losing loved ones sooner than expected! I mean we all know how serious it is , we don't need reminding
As they say, better to be safe than sorry.
I don't know if it's been said already but I've read somewhere that they are forecasting the peak number of case to be around June sometime Which most likely is going to affect most airshows if it is true.

I'm sorry I'm starting about Corona again, but in a positive manner this time :P
Today I read that 70.000 of the 80.000 infected Chinese have already recovered.
Seeing how Europe is a few weeks (or months perhaps) later with the infection, my GUESS is that the same is happening here in a few weeks.
This would mean that RIAT will not be cancelled, as it still 4 months ahead. Sure, Corona will not be completely gone and perhaps they are still going to cancel events for the rest of the year, but at least there is the chance, so stay positive :thumbs:

Do we actually believe the Chinese claims though, they haven't exactly been particularly truthful about the situation so far...

No support from emergency services for large gatherings just announced which must mean all airshows cannot go ahead.

phantom 6 I was quoting Albert Steptoe! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I never want to end up in hospital!! I have lost 3 close members of my family to mis-diagnosis and had to watch them die , gasping for breath and in extreme pain. So personally I don't have any faith .

It was a quote from Albert Steptoe from the show Steptoe & Son I was just trying to be funny

Harold says "You're such a xenophobe"

Albert replies "No I'm not , I just don't like foreigners " ๐Ÿ˜‚.
