I'm seeing meets in Europe with thousands of fans sitting next to each other, and nobody wearing masks

People are waking up. Everyone is going to to be exposed within a year no matter what they do so why cower in fear?

It’ll all change in the USA after the elections.

You do realize that the Covid 19 problem is now on a lot lower level than in the US thanks to a lot of mask wearing and following orders.

Of course that is not possible in the Freedom loving US of A.

Because of that Sports keeps to be cancelled until 2023.

Remember, it's all for your Freedom.

Where do you think it will go? It will be there as soon as you get near to someone. Everyone has been or will have been exposed within a year. Masks and distancing are to slow the spread, not decrease it.

Where exactly are these meets?

The stands I saw in Monaco were not that crowded. People spread out.. and its outdoors, yes?

I could not really tell, from the little I saw about mask use.

Also, Monaco has, um, 146 total cases of COVID-19.

So please, what other meets had "thousands of fans"?

Only a few thousand people live in Monaco full time. Another ~20,000 "live there" for financial purposes and aren't in town year round.

You have to live a Half year +1 day in Monaco minimum. If not, you get fined for tax evasion from the country you escaped from.

Do people understand that there have been more deaths from Covid in Europe than the US?

I said this would happen. Because the us didn't shut down fully and for long enough there won't be races there for a long time for most Americans. In Europe where they took steps to control covid19, they're having races. Spout political bs all you want, it won't change reality.

Did Music City not count? How about the other 5 meets that have happened over the past 3 weeks?

The meet in Finland this week had stands pretty full and almost no masks. Looked like any other meet that you would have seen in Europe last year.

I've been saying it for the past few weeks. South Dakota is fully open and has been with almost no masks or social distancing. The city of deadwood is packed with tourists, they've had rodeos with fans. Mount Rushmore is a zoo, not just at the trump 4th of July. Despite people coming from a wide range of states there has not been mass breakouts. They did not catch the hysteria. They had a couple breakouts in food plants. People have gotten sick. But they decided not to tank the economy any more than neccessary for a virus with a similar fatality rate to the flu.

Much higher than flu and far more long-term consequences for many.

What are you talking about? Most of California was shutdown for the better part of 5 months and still is. Most businesses were closed, no in-dining restaurants, no school. The same was true for many states. What did Europe do differently?

Why does Europe have more Covid deaths than the US if they did it right? I would love to hear your explanation.

What?

Let me try one:

More miles are to build your base, not increase it.

Repeating yourself doesn't make you correct. There is just as much if not more racing going on in the US as Europe.

The total deaths in Europe are greater than the total deaths in the US. Or do you have trouble reading actual government statistics?
