Covid breaking my hopes

People have died throughout history to preserve this freedom. This lockdown is a very slippery slope because it shows just how easily we could lose that freedom.

I agree. Problem is if we open up everything right now (not saying you’re an advocate), the rate of infection will absolutely skyrocket. What happens when a significant portion of essential workers stop going to work for fear of their own health....or loved ones that may be compromised. Food shortages? Not enough hospital workers?
 
The longer a compromised individual delays getting COVID-19, then the higher likelihood an effective treatment and or vaccine will be developed.

Average FDA approval takes 12 years and costs the pharmaceutical company $350 million. The covid vaccine or treatment will go “fast-track” which is 60-days. Does that give you the warm and fuzzies?

Oh and like someone pointed out previously, since it’s a vaccine, you can’t sue the drug company if it causes issues.

What issues? Just do a google search of some of the vaccines that have been recently given to people in Africa.
 
Fauci has been quoted as saying 12-18 months. You're willing to sign up for that?

Treatments will be developed sooner, which will lower the death date. Yes, vaccination is at least 12-18 months out. Even with vaccine, only 40-60% effective on average.

First step though needs to be widespread, regular, random testing, providing actual data as to infection rates by geographical area. If you live in an area with low infection rates, open everything up.

Civil libertarians must be on high alert to protect individual rights and personal liberties. The risks are real.

When society gives up civil liberties in times of crisis, it often takes much much longer to get them back if at all - think 9/11.

BUT I don't think dismissing pandemic and epidemiology experts is the way to do it. This is a false choice. Fighting for one does not mean doing nothing for the other.
 
I don’t think it’s some oddball conspiracy that every healthcare worker and medical profession is in on. It’s a very unique virus that we know very little about. I don’t believe we should all be forced to stay in doors however we should all be cautious and mindful. I trust experts over conspiracy theorists on the internet.
People keep comparing to viruses that we have a ton of knowledge on, treatments, and vaccines for. This is very ignorant and disingenuous.
The problem is you can have it and have no symptoms and it can remain dormant for quite some time. Also it absolutely does not only kill elderly and unhealthy individuals there have been cases of otherwise very healthy and active men and women who have gotten very sick and some even died.

Same goes with the flu.
So do a lot of viruses but they’re not all the same. This is not like the flu. We have a lot of knowledge on the flu. We still don’t know everything about this virus and everyone who gets the flu has symptoms. The flu doesn’t remain dormant. Whatever strain of flu you have doesn’t change from person to person and we don’t have treatment for corona. I’m also unaware of the flu leading to sepsis. Also if people have the flu unless they’re an asshole they stay in order to rest and avoid others.
Also that wasn’t the part where I was comparing it to the flu.
 
Alright what the fuck do I do to workout. My main gym closed and the only other person I know who runs a gym that secretly stayed open finally closed. So what the fuck do I do? I don’t have any weights and currently can’t go drop $300+ for weights. I tried body weight stuff but wholly fuck that takes forever and I feel like it’s doing nothing. I tried doing some stuff with objects around my house but for my safety and honestly not many things where heavy enough I don’t know what to do
for now i rec dumbells. can do alot with them, and eventually a simple bar bench. all you really needIMO

Dormant???

You’re using terms completely wrong which adds to the problem with this virus. It absolutely does not “remain dormant”.

You are either referring to the week-long “incubation” before symptoms show or you mean “not everyone that has the virus has any symptoms”.

And we are learning A LOT about this virus because we have the benefit of China/Asia being through with it and most of Europe. What we learn though is that it’s NOT as dangerous as initially feared.

Stop watching CNN and read about this stuff on your own. You’re brainwashed into believing the hysteria.

its worse than reported imo.....
 
Fastest vaccine ever created was 4 years. Doesnt mean there isnt better technology now that can make it go faster. By "open up" it doesnt mean everything goes back to normal. There is going to be many rules and regulations. Strap in because the ack and forth at worst case scenario could last that 4 years

Having knowledge of it doesn’t seem to change shit about deaths...

CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in the U.S. - STAT

Only thing is china cant be trusted. They lie.
 
The mortality rate will be below 0.1% shortly. Mass testing has shown there to be 50 to 85 times the amount of people already infected, therefore dropping the exaggerated death rate 50 to 85 times.

Opening up the economy and saving lives are not mutually exclusive like the media want you to believe.

Also the states and countries with the most cases and deaths have the strictest quarantine/ social distancing guidelines. I know the state I'm in was one of the first to adopt these draconian measures before the cases spiked and now we nearly have the highest. Didnt work to well.
 
Honestly without a gym, my “gains” have not gone up really. This sucks. I am just staying where i am at. Which is fine. But would of done better with the gym.

bands AMRAP. And 40 lb dumbells. All i have.

I’m about to rent a garage and buy a cage, adjustable dumbbells and a leg curl/extension machine.

Everything is out of stock but I’m gonna get it as soon as it hits the “shelves”.
