Colsacre Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 How can anyone stop racing from going ahead. What grounds would they use? Covid 19 is not spread by animals or birds. Most clubs have small numbers of people at marking etc so no large gatherings of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shasha Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Maybe race old birds with ybs? A dont know just thinking out loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter swanston Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 OK let’s all ignore the scientific advice and wander off to the marking stations from our secluded homes should be alright only about 15 guys there.OR MAYBE NOT.

JCN Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Can race mark pigeons with 3/4 people even at that wouldn't say they have to be in close contact. Sensible precautions in place and everyone should be safe.Antibacterial cleaning products for wiping down equipment and masks worn by everyone in premises.

If the emergency bills become law, party politics are being dropped and all parties are working together, so it is a very small if, then the police and army could be used to enforce the government guidelines. I've never served in the forces, but know some who have, and it is my understanding they will follow orders and they will enforce the will of the government. Perhaps better if we just follow the current advice and stop overthinking the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
