How best to deal with the Worlds and the coronavirus


Here are some of the things that we are thinking about:

The coronavirus is coming to you.

It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.

It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two.

When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.

Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways.

Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.

They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.

The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.

That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.

Federally funded tests conducted by scientists from several major
institutions indicated that the novel form of coronavirus behind a worldwide
outbreak can survive in the air for several hours.


A study awaiting peer review from scientists at Princeton University, the
University of California-Los Angeles and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
posted online Wednesday indicated that the COVID-19 virus could remain viable in
the air "up to 3 hours post aerosolization," while remaining alive on plastic
and other surfaces for up to three days.

DIAMOND: Well, in his remarks, the president didn't address the
biggest problem - that our domestic health infrastructure is not ready for this,
partly because of his administration. We're still wildly behind on testing that
was botched by the Centers for Disease Control. We don't have enough supplies,
like respirators. Our hospitals and doctors are almost certainly going to face
real challenges as demand spikes. And I think listeners should be clear-eyed
that what's happening in Italy, in Spain, with their hospitals and ICUs totally
slammed, that could happen here, too, in the next two weeks.

Current situation makes it very difficult to plan anything, I have
a feeling it won't be easy to get a ticket for the days straight after the
30-days long ban.  Supposed it won't last longer than that.


Apart from that, it's extremely difficult to find any solution for bringing the
glider from Europe to the US at the moment. So far I couldn't as my flying
tickets got cancelled.


I was considering driving 2200 km from Austria to Moscow and to fly from there
(if there was a ticket) but they are closing the borders between the countries
now, so this option won't have too much chance probably.

We are very sorry to announce that the "Lake County Balloon
Festival" is being cancelled along with every other event of this size or
larger at request from Governor De Santis.


We know many of you planned your vacations around this event. We are all going
through the same thing together. Looking ahead the weather looks spectacular so
we are staying open and offering 1/2 price flights to anyone who wants to come
out and experience hang gliding or dragonfly rides. We are taking steps to make
sure everyone in a clean and safe environment to experience flying or just sit
back by the lake or under a tree and watch the show. If you would like to book a
flight just give us a call or send us a message. We look forward to seeing you
all soon.

We will see how it goes in the next few weeks, but the fact that
there is a mandatory quarantine if I go abroad, might affect my decision to come
down.

Glad you guys are on top of this.  Some guidance on procedures
while at park during comp will be very helpful, especially if posted in
advance.  I’ll likely have to make a case to family regarding risk of coming and
that would help, also can’t imagine I’ll be only one needing to make case to
others.
