2 Weeks post Carlisle

So I am curious. To all those that attended Carlisle this year. Did you or anyone in your group end up with the virus? I am really not trying to start a big debate on the virus and have this get all out of hand and turn into a bunch of BS. My wife and I and all those that I know that attended did not end up with it. Your results may have varied, I hope not but I'm just wondering. So keep it clean and civil and post your results.

No...But I was smart about it using my mask heading into large gatherings...And pulling it down when not around anyone to catch a breather when I could...I noticed quite a few people with no mask in sight...So your question is warranted...

Our group (two couples from two different states) are fine right now. We enjoyed a great break from regular life to be around awesome cars and their admirers. Picked up some cool stuff, too.
I hope this is the case for everyone who attended.

Of the 14 or so in our group everyone is still healthy. We all wore masks when needed and did the social distance thing. To me it was good mentally to take a few days off and enjoy some car related stuff even if we had to "mask up" when near crowds or going into public spaces (Walmart, Sheetz, etc...).

Well, to keep it factual, a better question, did anybody who attended, or cohabitates with someone who did, get a positive COVID test days after Carlisle?

Everything else, is GIGO, and even the current tests are not 100% accurate , before someone feels the need to make that point.

I suspect based on the reporting on this question, and the reluctance of those who might be sick, the results here might only be as valid as the Florida reported infection rates.

Our group of 4 are all fine.

our group of 5 are all fine,wore masks in buildings&around crowds.

Our group of 5 are all fine. We had a great time.

Never touched a mask at the show except for going into the Carlisle store to buy the 2020 van diecast, wore one at Walmart and a bar I went to they required it when walking in the door but not afterwards. I feel the same as normal, but that doesn't necessarily tell me anything...

I was there three days, no mask. Mingled with thousands wearing no mask. Everyone is fine. .

I had guests at the house from multiple states.

I talked with hundreds of people at the show.

No health issues to report.

Zero. Zip. Nada.

For those that missed the show, we had a great time and we hope to see you next year.

Dad and crew checked out all fine so far. I make everyone take temps and oxygen saturation every AM.

I was alone at the show. Talked to many customers and browsers at my stand. No mask. I'm doing fine. So are my wife and son.

please define your version of normal??

Bottom line, nobody gives a crap whether anybody else feels "normal" attending Carlisle and not wearing a mask vs the usefulness of those feeling not "normal". Only person that does, is oneself. Typical "its all about me" sign of the times. Excluding the even hint of humility that one feels "normal" they might just be very lucky or asymptomatic, not overlooking the fact we are approaching in the US nearly 150,000 dead. Carlisle must be a real fountain of health, not one reported headache, sore back, fever, cough, sore throat in the whole bunch. Wonder if the reporting of not "normal" here is a similar timeline to member "Feets" disclosing his COVID diagnosis awhile back?

Doctors can't even define that with me...

Remember in the early days of the Covid they said that heat would kill the virus, it was brutal on Thursday in Carlisle so it must have all died, of course they walked back on that not too long after they said it. There is no concrete definition of this virus, and if there was then they would just re-engineer it...

The wife and I were selling at my vendor's spot all weekend without a mask. I tried to keep a little distance from lookers any buyers when able, but you can't exchange money from a distance.
My wife works in health care and has to be tested weekly. All her tests including the last two since Carlisle have been negative.

Regarding "they", freedom of speech applies, we best choose wisely who the "they"'s are we listen to. And living in Florida, that "heat" thing stunk from the get go.

so like Sheldon? your mother had you tested?

Seems like YOU don’t give a crap about it because YOU weren’t there, which is good! You are a prime example of the “all about me” mentality. So no thanks for your input, very much not worthwhile to the subject. Please crawl back under your rock.


Of many friendly folks that were there no reports of any virus symptoms. Which is good. Thanks for the thread.

...

Pretty much, I just moved my 91 year old mother from her house in Arkansas to a senior living facility in Missouri and she told me to get tested, so I told her I did...

myself and my group (5 of us in total from 3 different states) all have been fine.
Took generally accepted precautions (masks in buildings, wash your hands, maintain some level of distance...although there are a few close talkers out there)

I took the past 2 weeks away from work (worked at home) for the benefit of my co-workers who might freak out knowing I left the state.

Under the Moparts Tent there were a very few that had masks on

I put a mask on for the motel check in ( 15 min ) but no other time on the trip

BUT i was social distanced under the Moparts Tent , everyone was spread out at least the 6-10 feet

The whole group I was with no virus outbreaks

I did wait 13 days when I got back , before I visited my 90 year old mother

BUT with the NEW rules in place since going to Carlisle ( PA ), if I were to go to PA now CT would require a 14 day self quarantine

I don't give a crap about those that only care about themselves, if you can comprehend that.

Thanks for your "input".

...

Seems you don’t give a crap about anything/anybody else so why post on this thread it’s not about you.

It’s about checking in with others who got out to the show to experience life.

I fully comprehend where your coming from, and it sucks!

A fricken men.

Anyone here that hasn't driven over a hundred miles per hour without a helmet and lived to tell about it?

I do have a Corona case to report from Carlisle.

We had coolers at the AAR & T/A Reunion tent.

We provided the coolers, ice and water and they were there for anyone to use.

When I went to drain my cooler for the drive home Sunday afternoon, I opened it up and discover Corona, 18 bottles!

No idea who left it behind, and truth be told it was not a full case of Corona........ but 18 bottles is not bad.

I will make sure every Corona atom is eliminated and returned to the earth in a natural way.

And we all appreciate your supreme sacrifice for the betterment of us all! Gene

Barry, just be sure you aren't playing with those magnets when engaging in, um, the "returning to earth" action after devouring a bunch of those bottles !

So are you disappointed nobody is reporting in sick? Hey, the OP posted a question - you went to Carlisle - how are you doing? We are certainly not seeing a trend of anybody getting sick here, like it or not.

......................

Attended Carlisle with my best friend and roomed with him. Talked with a bunch of folk while I showed my TA, sold some parts to some members that I brought with and shook hands with many people throughout the weekend. Only wore the mask when required; inside the Carlisle store and upon entry into the restaurants and hotel, then I took it off.
So far both of us are fine and to our knowledge not showing any symptoms. Had a great time!

My brother and I were there for Friday & Saturday selling parts, we camped out there, used the showers there, etc. Both fine. Only wore masks for about 5 mins. Had a great time, and people were buying!

My wife and I were there Fri-Sun. It was a blast. No Covid here.

I attended Carlisle with a friend. We shared a room. We met four other friends at the hotel (they had their own rooms). Two of those people were ages 80 and 83.
We wore masks when required. My friend and spent most of the show without a mask. To date none of us have any symptoms. I can’t with absolute certainty say we don’t have it because we haven’t been tested. However, I seriously doubt any of us are asymptomatic.

I am so glad I went especially since the Nationals in Ohio got cancelled. These are my two favorite shows. I really needed something fun to do and I immensely enjoyed the show. It was over all too soon.

I'll throw my two cents in on this unscientific poll. I was there with a group of around 10 people, no one wore a mask. Age range 22 to 65. We all wandered the swap meet, the vendor area, the display cars, etc. I spoke to people about their show cars and had people come speak to me about mine. We ate out at various restaurants, visited local stores, etc. No one has caught COVID since the show.

More unscientific data:

* I, nor anyone in my immediate family, have wore a mask since the outbreak. My son got married in May. We had a mixture of 50+ people from around the USA, no one wore a mask, and no issues.

* I have a cousin who is a germaphobe who wore a N95 mask and gloves while around his 83 yr old mother, and practiced social distancing. She is a shut-in. She caught COVID from him. He's not sure where he got it. She has a compromised immune system, but recovered fully with some anti-biotics and hydroxychloroquine. She was never hospitalized, just took her meds at home.

* My mother and sister who took my Aunt for COVID testing and assist her as a shut-in, do wear a mask, and did not, and have not, caught the COVID from my Aunt or anyone else.


As mentioned above, most people at Carlisle were not wearing masks. At least to my observations. I think that the things I was exposed to in the Army immunize me against most things. That, or my steady eating at Waffle House. I'm not sure which. Maybe both?

Even if someone got covid, how can it be proven it was from Carlisle?
Lets move on!

Amen!!

Maybe related, a few friends played golf last weekend. A fierce thunderstorm interrupted the round. Of the golfers I spoke with days later, all said individually they had not been struck by lightning.

I'm assuming I don't need to state the obvious here.

You seem upset that more people aren’t catching it....

QUITE the contrary ....... It's like playing "Russian roulette" ......... Eventually the 'round' will chamber ................

Or "polish" roulette, having just one empty chamber?

If someone "thinks" I'm or anyone else is upset nobody has replied here they caught COVID at Carlisle, don't be a wimp. just ask me straight up.

I called to ask for a refund or credit for next years event because I wouldn't be attending. I was told i would get a refund in a few weeks, that was over a month ago

All of the refunds are being processed via check and that takes time. You should see it in about 2 weeks.

FYI, the refunds are being processed by the same folks who handle all of the calls, registrations, vending sales, etc. That is usually a staff of 3 and we had one quit earlier this year so we're down to 2 people. In addition to them doing all of the Showfield registrations and booking of vending spaces, this year they are processing refunds (lots of them - remember, they handle the aforementioned for all 10 of our events). On top of all of that, our season has been condensed to the point where we have 3 shows back to back to back right now. Oh, and the number of calls asking if the shows are canceled is astronomical!!!

I apologize for the delay but we are doing our best to keep up with everything. Thank you for understanding and I hope we'll see you next year!!
