<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This Virus is just starting to ramp up. With the lack of testing it is not clear how wide spread it is. I’m 81 years old and clearly in the high risk group for serious repercussions if contracted. For younger
people playing the odds may be ok. Pattern has rule after rule designed to prevent us from hurting or killing each other so we are used to looking out for our participants. So for me it’s a no brainer to agree with state governors, professional team owners
and reputable doctors to maximizing social distancing as a means to protect each other from a highly potential harm. Therefor I vote for #4 or have a seminar the day before the first available contest were ever that may be.
