It would seem to me that recreational golf would be a good thing to do in the face of this virus - outdoors and relatively isolated.
I wonder what the recommendations will be and whether courses are at risk of shutting down.
As the rest of society is getting paid to stay home our hard working golf and maintenance professionals deserve the same. So many of us forget as we play our emergency nines that they have lives too.
Rest of society staying home? Certainly not health care providers. Just spoke to someone who spent 12 hours alone in an isolation room with a violent psychotic being tested for CV. Hospital security would not enter room to ensure the safety of the hospital employee.
This thing isn’t fun for health care workers, especially if you have a patient that should be in a psych ward. I’d much rather be cutting grass.
My daughter's significant other works in a hospital -just worked on a heart patient who it turns out, also has CV.
Scary stuff and a lack of tests available has them awaiting their symptons to show before they can get tested-while in quarantine.
I tire of brainwashed people not grasping this is real and that preventative measure being taken are to avoid being Italy(where doctors are literally picking who lives and who dies in a wealthy city), though our first 8 week( lack of tests)third world response has been abysmal and has created the need for mass cancellation/inconvenience, which may precede more draconian measures.
Who gives a shit if a test is "free" if you can't get one in time to prevent more spread; and those waiting to show symptoms, so they can qualify for a rationed test, don't give a crap about a payroll tax credit.
