Anyone worried if Corona virus keeps spreading the gyms will shut down?

Had to go out for a few hours for my job today, and for full disclosure I was wearing a mask. But, just as an observation, today looked like a normal Friday in Virginia compared to the previous 7-8 Friday’s I’ve had to go out for my job. I think I saw 1 person in a mask out of hundreds, tons of traffic, no social distancing, etc. I hope I’m wrong, but I have a feeling VA’s COVID cases will jump dramatically if people aren’t reigned in a little. For the record, I’m not necessarily against opening up; I’m just against wide open. Today was wide open.

My experience in FLA.
I'm on the same page as you are with regard to taking it slow. Nobody seems to understand how that works.
 
What’s wrong with wearing a mask?

If everyone took just basic precautions we could have a semi-normal Memorial Day to enjoy public spaces outdoors, etc. But the 20% of people that seemingly won’t listen is going to keep us in this half-lockdowned half-pandemic state for a long time

Yes.
It sounds at first glance as a money grab for their stock value. I’m a pessimist.

No human trials.
We can hope though.

Yeah, no human trials yet but I’m still hopeful. In my opinion, the lockdown isn’t only useful to slow the spread and prevent hospital burden but is giving researchers time to learn more. We could rush opening too fast and cause thousands of extra deaths, or just take it slow and maybe we find definite proof that this virus has everything to do with vitamin D deficiency (just an example for the point I’m trying to make) or that this antibody treatment is 100% the cure. I don’t understand why in the general public (not necessarily here) everyone is camped too far on either side “lockdown/social distance forever!!! vs. wide open economy bad economy killz more than everything ohhh nozzz!!!111”...as I typed that I remembered how we do it with religion and politics, so never mind. Answered my own question 😂😂😂

I can see it now, a person riding a crowded subway sets off a light...person hurries and exits subway. police are unable to find. fbi puts on most wanted list.

I actually think this might be a good thing, depends on HOW it is used.

Looking like end time Biblical prophecy to me
-Forced vaccine/Tattoo(Mark of beast) which will only allow you to be able to get food ad supplies. Without it, you're denied
- Shutting down privately owned businesses and small businesses so everyone is forced to go corporate aka Satan
- Closing churches. less people will gain this information and most importantly the gospel
- Anyone who takes the mark worships the beast and loses their salvation completely

Sorry , I trust God, not them. This is an agenda

I pray you'll all realize this
 
quite the stretch there.
 
Whuh?

If anything the mark of the beast is on a building in NY.
666 5th Avenue... (Trump Plaza)

That's a stretch.

I don’t buy it of course, but it’s orders of magnitude more compelling and well-researched than your claims.

After my preworkout, I really like this way of thinking. After my workout, not so much. Feeling pretty jaded. I don't think this is the end end. Fortunately or unfortunately.

You mean the guy who's building is literally at 666 5th avenue?
Would the 'mark' happen to be a "MAGA" or "KAG" hat?

What 'mark' are you talking about?
Please be more specific.

Could be tbh. I don't ever put a president or political leader above Jesus. I'm neither Republican nor Democrat

Guess the gyms are now open in South Florida

I'm trying to keep my sanity. Here in CT, we are potentially looking at June 20th. I was fine at first, but over the last week or so, It has been really getting at me. Personally, the gym is my escape. I love working out, but I love just focusing on my workout for 1-1.5 hours and nothing else.

To make things worse, our Gov. said that barbershops and salons would open on 5/20. Today, he pushed it back until 6/1 since that is what RI is doing. However, malls are going to open on Wednesday, go figure. I was hoping getting y hair cut would make me feel a little better and normal, but that was taken away at the last minute.

Did you read the article on the Anti-Christ I posted earlier? I don’t buy any of it, of course, but the guy did put a lot of effort into it, and it makes more sense than the “Bill Gates and 5G are the Anti-Christ” nonsense for sure.

Agree man, this is awful. Date keeps getting pushed back for me too....Gyms won’t even open right away and still when they do, it’ll be a clusterfukk !!

Also, got on a scale for the first time in a while....I’m down 12 fukking pounds 🤦‍♂️
(I know it’s not all muscle loss, still feels brutal)

In the states that are taking a while to re-open, even with limits, I think this is going to occur. At least with small business. I think it is difficult for these people to watch their business get run into the ground while other states are open.

I think if the entire country had a set date versus leaving it up to the states, then we would have less defiance.

I disagree, no matter what they do at least 20% of population will be defiant, imo.

It's about an hour from me. Give them credit for opening.

Now Governor Murphy who is by far one of the biggest dip shits of All time, maybe ever, was supposed to be on a conference call today with several gym owners and local business owners to hear their proposal on new safety protocols.

This guy no showed the conference call. Everyone was very optimistic about it being there were hundreds of people on the beaches and boardwalks this past weekend with basically no distancing at All.

I feel so stuck. Im getting ancy, i work and come home, like many many others right now.

10 minutes from me but not a member. I really hope they have started a trend in the right direction. As far as i know, they had a conference call with our congressmen and they said they are taking gyms opening seriously. Only time will tell
 
Oddly enough, I've been so preocupied with working out and losing weight since this all began, I've avoided the booze cabinet completely. Believe me, working remotely had me wondering why I hadn't had some nice Bloody Mary's, or Sakatinis... I'm just too damned busy to drink.

I've got about 3 more weeks to go with this cut, then I'm going to have that Sakatini, or maybe I'll have that special James Bond Martini... I'm open to ideas. I'll start a new thread about this in General Chat, and link from here.

Defiance is now a huge X-factor IMO. It will likely lead to backtracking of the phased reopening schedule in many states. Things are heating up again in my hospital. A few positives and a slew of symptomatic PUIs were slamming us today.

As the weather has gotten better, people have already been traveling across our border from Massachusetts and other fairly local states that have a much higher degree of infections than ourselves. It’s just going to get worse as these people ignore the 14 day self quarantine order to visit their summer camps. It’s an honor system that has already obviously failed, as people are also coming to visit their family here and have subsequently made them sick.

People coming from states with confirmed high prevalence act in their own best interest, and without regard for the detriment it will have on our citizens and pivotal reopening process. In the next coming months, out of state visitors will have to be completely prohibited if we are to have any hope of making progress in the right direction.

it is same here in my small city, we are right on the border with Illinois. we have opened up they haven't, parking lots are full of vehicles with Illinois plates.

I predict that by this time next week cases here will have at least tripled, stores aren't limiting people inside and hardly anyone is wearing masks.

Other than to mask depression, I don’t understand why people are reportedly drinking more since the stay at home orders went into effect. When I drink (which is very seldom in recent years), the last thing I want to do is chill at my house. I like to go out to see people and do things. Or do things to people, and also have them do things to me..

True. I saw a video of a guy walking down his block on recycling day, and every single house had bottles of booze.. it was surreal. This whole Covid-19 has people going overboard with the drinking. Or are they just used to drinking that much when they go out, and can't right now? If so, no wonder we are a country filled with such unhealthy gluts.

But, I rarely drink in the first place; however I hate drinking out. It's expensive and I'm cheap. I drink while I'm feeling creative (artist)... Of course I'm an introvert. (mostly)
 
Everyone is drinking in their front yards sitting in their driveways and hanging out. Getting to know the neighbors and having a good time. Social distancing and no drinking and driving. But again we all have 3+ kids per house so good times.
