Covid-19 Pandemic (Corona Virus)

[Sulland]

The Covid-19 Virus are now declared a world wide Pandemic by the UN.

European countries now goes more or less into a periode of lock-down.
My country just stopped the following services to try to prevemt spread of the virus.

• All kindergartens,schools, universities have locked doors.
• All sports are stopped, also training with groups.
• avoid all physical contact with other people. If needed keep distance to others at 1-2 meters.
• People comimg into Norway via airplane or train, will if they come from areas with corona virus, be returned directly.
• Norwegians are to stop all travel abroad from today 1800.
• All norwegians will if possible work from home via internet.
• All in all the largest number of restrictions for Norwegians since World War ll.
• this is a national dugnad from all norwegians to minimize the spread of Covid-19, to protect the most vounrable in the population.
• Assessmemt: 2,2 million of 5 million Norwegians could be infected by the virus, if nothing is done!
• Most people will not feel much, some will have some small issues, some will be taken to hospital, many that have other cronic illness could have large issues, many old and sick people will die.

Many countries are doing the same.

So this will affect also all sport where many people are gathered.
Stock markets are cracking, and implications will be huge for the whole world as it looks now.

Looks like this will be a great factor in 2020, and maybe for years to come, depending how bad this turns out to be.
So lets see what this does to Rally in the 2020 season, but my assememt is that it will be very limited, since rallies will be cancelled..
