[DeTomaso] Any change in plans for the Fun Rally with the COVID-19 outbreak?

[Thomas Törnblom]

Well, Europeans are banned from entering the US, not sure if UK is 
considered Europeans any more as they are apparently excempt, so if this 
is in effect over the Fun Rally, then you can strike those.

I don't think the virus is any worse that the seasonal flu, the issue 
appears to be that it is a virus that no one is immune to, so it can 
potentially put lots of people to bed causing issues in society.

Sweden now has a ban on gatherings over 500 people.

People are dropping like flies from the ordinary flu, just as they do every year, and nobody bats an eye. According to the CDC, something like 50,000 Americans have died from the regular flu just since September! Where is the panic about that?
