Paradise Airsports and Wilotree Nationals Suspended for a Year

CDC recommendation

Belinda Boulter|COVID

This news from the US Center for Disease Control:

CDC says Americans should cancel all gatherings of 50 people or more for the next eight weeks

Federal health officials on Sunday said Americans should cancel or postpone events involving 50 or more people for the next eight weeks throughout the United States.

“Large events and mass gatherings can contribute to the spread of COVID-19,” the illness caused by the coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted in a statement on its website. “Examples … include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings.”

If followed, the guidance — the strongest and most sweeping to date from the CDC — is certain to upend and reshape American life for the next two months.

The CDC said its recommendation does not apply to the daily operations of schools, institutes of higher education or businesses — although a slew of schools, colleges and companies nationwide announced plans to shutter or restrict their hours over the weekend.

Belinda is preparing all the steps that we need to refund everyone's entry fees for the Worlds (which has already been suspended) and for these meets. Give us a few days and we will straighten it all out.

We appreciate all the support that we have received from all the pilots. Thanks for all your thoughts and advice. It has helped us deal with this pretty darn weird situation. We look forward to a new year next year hopefully after this is all over.
