This argument to me sounds as if it hinges aground how driven you are to get out and hunt/compete/train.
I'll freely admit that if I was still hunting, when I was hooked on my adrenalin fix each week, that I'd be taking the advice of vets if the majority said it was ok to go.
Now I'm not in that situation, I'm in the 'better a short term overreaction than an epidemic' camp, and staying home at least until racing restarts.
I am honestly baffled, though, by professionals going out on horses they intend to compete this spring. Why would you?
Because they need to prep said horses for competing, and their vet has told them it’s ok? If you don’t trust your vet enough to follow their advice, you probably need to change vets?
