UK government are not cancelling sporting events at the moment. Their argument seems to be it is actually healthy for the population to build up some immunity to this virus for the future. The issue is to not put elderly or vulnerable people at risk and to slow the spread of the virus in order that the health service don’t have a huge influx all at once.

Thanks Sulland, we‘re all day bombarded by the media and the authorities with info about the virus and now even here there’s a specific thread about it…you could at least put it in the Rally Bar topic; maybe one of these days scientists will find that a couple of bears and a few shots are the best way to prevent the bug
Now seriously, best wishes to everyone on this troubled times; hope you can all live them in a safe and positive way and that Rallysport can be resumed any time soon.Rally addict since 1982

Come on guys, let's face the harsh reality. This is World wide pandemic and we all know what that means. We should be happy if we're able to run Rally Finland as scheduled.

In Belgium all recreative activities are cancelled, schools, bars and restaurants are closed. So no Spa Rally this weekend.

If things are actually as bad as they claim, hundereds of thousands or millions are already infected.
And the situation is bad because they absolutely want to quarantine patients in hospitals. If they would just handle it like a flue and keep everybody at home for a week, there would be no problem.
The whole of belgium is being shut down because 3 sick old people died.
That is not rational, that is clear hysteria.

There is a web page, where you can follow "live" how is the situation in the world: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Quite interesting I must say. We can see how bad the situation is in Italy and also for my surprise in Norway. These two have the highest cases per 1M in Europe. They also say that so far there has been 12 confirmed cases in Mexico and no deaths. Also one graph caught my eye where we can see, that young people mostly survive, if they get the virus.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
