There is no stopping Covid-19. It is a Novell virus. It has found a way to jump from animals to humans. And now from human to human. It is a killer. We have no immune response to this monster. The whole purpose of social separation is to slow , not stop, the spread. Our hospitals are overwhelmed we are out of Ppe’s for doctors and nurses. Ventilators , necessary to keep people alive are in short supply If we don’t slow the spread , the whole world will fall into anarchy. The zombie apocalypse will be real Stay home. Protect yourselves and your loved ones. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The city of Oswego has issued a travel ban inside the city limits that would put the launch at Wrights out if business till the travel ban is lifted Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

This seems very simple. If you live in PA stay in Pa. and that goes for any other states. This virus is spread by people moving it from place to place. Stay home The government is being forced to make all the rules and closures because selfish people just don’t get it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Do regular radio checks, but do them on a recreational communications channel, not on 16, 9, 22 or any other restricted channel. Something the authorities find quite aggravating is when a recreational boater calls on an emergency channel requesting a "radio check." Hailing "TowBoatUS" on 68 is an easy way to conduct a check. What channels should you use for regular conversations? Channels 68, 69, 71, 72, and 78A are considered non-commercial channels, and in most areas, 68 and 72 are commonly used by the recreational-boating community. But remember that the VHF is officially for "operational" purposes. This can be as informal as passing on a weather report, but conversations about what the dog chewed up yesterday are inappropriate. Some channels, such as 70, have restricted use, and you can't use them for voice communications. This is a quote from the USCG radio protocol manual. Asking for a radio check on 16 will probably get you a warning from the coast guard to “ move your idle chatter to a recreational frequency “. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

You may have the “ right “ to travel , but is it morally right to potentially spread this virus? Stay home and help stop this thing. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It is mandatory to monitor channel 16. It is the emergency and hailing frequency In general, any vessel equipped with a VHF marine radiotelephone (whether voluntarily or required to) must maintain a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the radiotelephone is not being used to communicate.

The advice is to shelter in place. We ALL pay taxes. Just because someone has big bucks they don’t have the right to endanger others. Stay where you are. Bringing the virus to your summer palace is selfish and irresponsible Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I’m unsure of legality , but imho , it is irresponsible to risk catching and thereby spreading this virus. I intend to wait and hope that they contain and are able to treat this thing. The sooner it’s contained. The sooner we can all get our lives back to normal Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
