Hmm! Stir the AirVenture or Mini AirVenture pot?
We are in the mist of a global pandemic. To date, 90,000 individuals have died in the US, in 85 days. That’s more than 1,000 daily fatalities due to the COVID-19, with no end or cure in sight. Adding to the mess, the virus is not alone as the players include, scientific ignorance, political greed, disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, governmental disorganizations, learning curve, all fueling the highly infectious disease.
The malady continues to spread affecting the very young, young, not so young and old-guys like me. The more the COVID spreads, the more carriers, the more cases, the more deaths. There is a whole lotta uncertainty here.
So, until the potion is found, it looks to me like what’s needed is patience. Patience from the EAAers and others to allow for accelerated R&D solutions and for manufacturing of a vaccine, pills or for mojos to satisfy the anti-vaxxers. Hopefully, the remedy will be found by early 2001, as I see it from a layman’s stance.
So we adapt. I’d recommend emphasizing on EAA online informational and distance learning programs, like on how to build an experimental aircraft or on how to use shop tools, welding, riveting, composites, AutoCAD, machining and so much more. Yes, like an online aviation trade school.
In the meantime, lets cooperate by isolating, distancing, masking, if possible. Promoting mass gatherings is promoting the spread. Oh, Sharing is Not Caring!
