Will the coronavirus delay 2021 sled production?

Might be tough to get key parts delivered to the manufacturers.
Arctic Cat is already closed down.

It might, no one knows for sure because something like this has never happened before.it won't matter much if it's still a problem come next winter and the trails are all closed.

Probably. All non-essential manufacturing are either shutting down or switching to medical supplies. Heck, even distillers are switching to making hand sanitizers. Everybody is taking a hit on this.

Interestingly I called a few local dealers today to ask a few questions about pricing and it was tough to get someone on the phone.
I would've thought with all the people that seem to be staying home the dealerships would be empty.
Good to hear that for sure!

This is not STUPID and is way worse than the Flu. I have friends in the medical field and they are genuinely concerned and are begging the public to listen to the warnings and educate themselves on this pandemic.
This will affect us all. Short term and long term so tighten your seatbelt because its going to be one heck of a ride.

Also no vaccine like with the regular flu and attacks those with any under lying medical issues. My wife is an RN, this is very serious.

This virus came from the animal world and has not been in humans till now. It’s more contagious then the flu due to the fact we have no antibodies for it or medications and it spreads fast. Most of us have had a form of the flu at some point and have some defense if we get it again but not for the Coronavirus. This is why it’s being taken so serious.

And if you're more visual, this is compared to all 2000's pandemics. The graph starting at 1:08 is quite stark and shows that Covid-19 will likely surpass Swine Flu deaths. These are hard facts, not shoot from the hip comments.

Yeah I figured this would get moved...

All I can say is getting parts from California isn't happening cause of close down.

Everyone calm down,we will all get thru this..but here is a fact for you 5,000 people died from the past 2 weeks from the REGULAR FLU..yes the regular flu no vaccine or drugs could help these people either!!!

The thread is still alive just in a different area.
If posts start to get all Doom and Gloom then we will have to see if it survives.
Any uneducated shoot from the hip comments will be deleted.

Want funny? I was looking at alternatives to toilet paper and this came up:

Although it's showing as currently unavailable, it's funny that Amazon has let this one stay.
