    Was pretty busy for a Wednesday last night. Some people in latex gloves, but mostly business as usual from what I could see.
    That is hilarious - if they have the virus on the glove or their hands it's exactly the same issue of they touch their face.

    I think I mentioned in another thread there was a guy at my gym wearing latex gloves and no other protection

    I've never missed a show, and my dad hasn't missed one since the 70's (he actually won a car in 1989). I imagine the crowds are way smaller this year too.

    They were small enough to get into the C8 corvette and poke around as much as you like, same with the Taycan, which most people didn't seem to care about.

    I decided not to go yesterday... not paying $13 to go around touching things that 100s of people touched right before me... that's worse than public toilets.

    I bet it's cleaner this year than it has been in past years. Everyone washing their hands more often, much less fecal coli form about I am sure.

    This was my thinking as well. Way less people + most people are paranoid, so more are probably washing their hands. You're probably more likely to catch something when nobody is taking precautions and there are a lot more people there, but that is just a guess.

    Who really knows. I think there is an equal chance of catching it in any public place right now given what we have heard/seen this past week.

    ORRRR... it's all the people that don't care that are going lol... I work in an office and I'm still in awe at people not washing their hands properly, still catch people not even using soap, just running their hands under the water for a brief second then walking out.

    You just proved my point. You have just as good of odds as catching it from the dirty people at your office.

    Surprised it hasn't been cancelled actually with all the other news coming out today with major sports and other conferences being cancelled. Maybe it will soon.

    I think public transport might be the single most risky thing you can do in the city right now and I haven't even heard rumors of that being suspended.

    they say you can get a refund due to it being shut down but can't seem to figure out how. Does anybody know how to go about this?
