I'm not trying to sound negative but I don't see schools all of a sudden opening doors with welcome mats. Let alone stadiums. DCI Board is sounding very much like the Tokyo Olympic committee. The DCI board has to do what they can to try to salvage things, to try to salvage some of the revenue for this year. Its not like this activity is flush with cash, its very conceivable we could lose corps over this. It may be futile in the end if this goes on for a long time. But theyre doing their jobs in at least trying to find some way of salvaging this. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the talk is this might last past April 7th. Until May. But when you see hundreds people jogging and roller blading on the San Francisco Embarcadero on the first day of the shelter in place you know we're in trouble. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're pretty crazy on the other side of bay. I stay away from SF as much as possible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With hope for a safe and vastly improved environment in the coming weeks, current efforts include developing a revised and compressed schedule for the 2020 DCI Summer Tour. to me thats Plan B. they dont want to publicly discuss Plan C 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to the top researchers in the US. We’re looking at almost a year’s worth of recovery ONLY if we enact stringent protocols now. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/03/18/america-united-states-lockdown-coming/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/interview-francis-collins-nih/608221/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s the reason I’ve barely left the house once since Saturday. And that was to get 3v batteries for my thermometer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Euro 2020 has been pushed to 2021. Probably only slightly smaller than the Olympics in terms of crowds, publicity, etc Clearly not a good sign for DCI Edited March 18, 2020 by soccerguy315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately, this is only delaying the inevitable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use to live in SoMa, South of Market for those not in the know, and moved back to Castro last spring. People are out and about doing their daily activities, shopping, walking, roller blading and jogging. Lots of handsome police officers out today too. Love their big smiles as we walked by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
