<p>We don't need to have a discussion about accessing
the grounds. It's simple. I call them again and see
if accessibility has changed. End of discussion.
Starting Monday, they are having a drive thru COVID 19
testing entering at Gate 12. Access may be no further
than the parking area, but maybe there is an opening
here. I'll let everyone know what they say when I
call them this week concerning access. I don't think
there is much need for a Board of Directors meeting
early or a business meeting for that matter. The only
thing to report will be whether we access or not.
There is nothing we can do related to our facility
without access. We can talk about it until we are
blue in the face, but it changes nothing until we have
access. Editorial comment: IMHO, <font size="3"
face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font
style="background-color: inherit;" size="2"
face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Newsom
has taken unnecessarily draconian measures.
He's not directly involved with our access to
the grounds, but there's no good reason 5-10
of us can't access the grounds on a Friday
evening. If Newsom does what he says, there
will be massive personal and business
bankruptcies across the state. Like I said,
IMHO. <br clear="none">

<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;">Guys, I do not want to
be a downer, but for this summer at least, the
probability of structured events of more than 10
or maybe 20 or at most 50 people is probably
very unlikely. The fair is hundreds of thousands
total, tens of thousands per day, it is not
going to happen.</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;">I went over this topic
on the NMRA Coast Division meetup last Saturday
and with the Coast Division Board before we
cancelled the June 7th Coast Division
event/auction in San Leandro. The key is the
answer Governor Newsome gives below to the
reporter's question during his opening up press
conference on April 14 about how much things
will "look different" this year for summer
events and schools in the fall. The text below
is from the transcript of the press conference
(my highlights in bold). Read the highlighted
parts ("negligible at best", "hundreds,
thousands, …….. is not in the cards", and "
June, July, August, it is unlikely"). Now decide
how much we want to bet there will be
300,000-500,000 people over 18 days at the
fairgrounds starting in mid-June....... there
are major concerns about having 30 kids in a
classroom in the fall. How do you social
distance at a county fair? Plus, how many of you
would be excited about taking your families to
the fair this summer? I personally would bet
there is zero chance of a fair this year,
probably not any realistic chance for either of
the Good Guys summer events as well. Hopefully,
by the fall, there will be some realistic and
proven high positive outcome treatment options
so larger events can return. </span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;">As to access to the
ACCRS facility on the Fairgrounds to retrieve
members personal property, unfortunately left
there due to the unanticipated velocity and
radical closure impacts of the pandemic
shut-down, we should discuss how we can
potentially get access next week during our
Friday Night meetup standing. I am going to
propose we use next Friday Zoom Meetup as our
on-line business meeting. If there is a desire
to have a pre-general meetup ACCRS board meetup
we can do that. </span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;">Unfortunately, based on
the Newsome stuff below and the relative large
size of events the fair must host for practical
profitability and to justify opening and having
staff return exceeding what the governor is
anticipating, I personally doubt they will open
the fairgrounds this summer at all. Therefore,
if ACCRS members want to gain access to the
building to get items, we should develop an
"access proposal" for Gary to present to the
fair. Perhaps we can propose "staggering" our
individual access to the building over an
extended period of days/weeks (we can credit the
governor) so social distancing or sharing common
spaces would not be an issue with access to the
closed space. Ask to have some time(s) so Gary
can assign a slot to a member to get in for 30
minutes or an hour to access their property. We
can do two or three pre-set times every week if
enough member want access. See if they will
agree to a proposal. Probably a one shot access
for each of us though. Bring your thoughts
Friday.</span></font></div>

<div style="padding-left:36pt;"><font size="2"
face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Hi
governor. So I understand that you’re not giving
a key timeline of when these things are going to
change, but more broadly you’ve outlined pretty
radical changes in what our daily life looks
like in California, even as we start to lift
these orders. So we’ve got some pretty big
holidays coming up into the summer, Memorial
day, July 4th, I mean, walk me through, if
things go to plan, if we’re able to meet some of
these measures, how do those big holidays, how
does the summer look different for Californians?
And following on that how does the school year
in the fall look different for California
students if we meet all these measures and we’re
able to start doing some of what you’ve talked
about?</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span
style="font-size:11pt;">Governor Gavin Newsom:
(50:17)</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;"><font size="2"
face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11pt;">I
appreciate it. Thank you for the question
because you’ve also offered me an opportunity to
say something that I wasn’t clear about in the
initial presentation, and that is as it relates
to mass gatherings. The <b>prospect of mass
gatherings is negligible at best until we get
to herd immunity and we get to a vaccine</b>.
So <b>large scale events that bring in
hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of
strangers all together across every
conceivable difference, health and otherwise
is not in the cards</b> based upon our current
guidelines and current expectations, things can
change radically, and we of course can have
therapeutics at scale, the kind of community
testing at scale, the serology tests at scale
and capacity to get vaccines earlier than we
anticipated. That can change that dynamic. So I
want to caution my own words in that context,
but when you <b>suggest June, July, August, it
is unlikely</b>.</span></font></div>

(52:03)</span></font></div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;"><font size="2"
face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11pt;">As I
mentioned to you, we’ve got these teams of
people and some of them are more built out than
others. The area that we will be building out
much more robustly is the school space to very
specifically answer that question. We have
hypothecated, since you want to offer that lens
perhaps of imagination, let me hypothecate with
you <b>scenarios where in physically
constrained environments where practicing
physical distancing within the school come
this fall may be challenged, we can
conceivably stagger the individual students to
come in as cohorts in the morning, some in the
afternoon</b>.</span></font></div>
