<VV> Corona Virus MK II

[Arlette Pat & Carl Kelsen]

G’day everyone,
I do appreciate that not everyone will share the very REAL concern that I hold for impact that Corona Virus is having on our lives and will increasingly have over coming months if not years ahead!

In the months ahead, we will look back and perhaps I will be proven wrong. I hope I am proven wrong but I don’t think this will be the case.

Major events across the world have, for good reasons been cancelled. In Australia its now illegal for more than two people to be in close proximity. As I understand it, Corona Virus spreads between people with little effort, lives on surfaces for up to 4 days and total social isolation is VERY important.

Many attendees at this years CORSA convention will be over 60 years old and some will have pre-existing medical conditions. Added to this fact, research in Australia has shown that younger people are also at risk.

Legally the CORSA convention could not go ahead if it were being held in Australia. My prediction is that regardless of the view at present, as the total confirmed Corona cases continue increase and spread within the United States and tragically as the death toll in the USA increases over the next few weeks, CORSA will be eventually be forced to cancel this years convention.

Its worth keeping my mind that many more Americans will sadly die from this virus than died as a result of the 9/11 attacks. It’s equally sad, that many Americans can’t see what happening around them.

I have massive fears for my many valued American friends and FIRMLY believe that holding the CORSA convention this year will result in more deaths. Strong words but just take a look at Italy and ask yourself why this would not be repeated in the USA.

The USA now has almost has double the confirm Corona Virus cases of China. Ask yourself where is the USA going to be in 3-4 weeks from now?
