Can touching a barbell in the gym get you sick with the coronavirus?

If you're located in a state/city with a lockdown policy, then you are located in a LEFTIST SHITHOLE.

Move out of it ASAP!
Come on man. My State and City is far from the Left.

This is an uneducated and ignorant statement. You're probably the one who's buying up all the toilet paper and hand sanitizer. SMH.

Think before you type dude.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resources for Pharmacists
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resources For Pharmacists

Many pharmacists across the world are working hard to keep up with therapeutic options for coronavirus / SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19. This webpage was created to provide insights and resources for pharmacists helping to manage this pandemic. Take note that updates to the page will be made periodically as permitted and the content here may not be completely up-to-date as the situation is evolving quickly. Also beware that much of the data identified below is of relatively poor quality in terms of utility for determining what should be done in clinical practice.

Additionally, there are many potential COVID-19 therapies, I list several at the bottom, but do not discuss them in depth. Some of these can potentially lessen the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 and help with managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Thus far no antiviral drug has been proven to work against COVID-19 in humans, although many randomized controlled trials are ongoing. Inclusion in this webpage is not an endorsement for use of any of these drugs for COVID-19.
 
A person asked me if covering the 2008 crisis was this grim. No. It was awful. And scary. I left the NYT newsroom shaken on many nights.

But this is far worse. A terrifying, world altering health crisis with a financial crisis strapped to its back and poised to explode.


 
24 hour lock down no later than next week for all of US is my guess. Besides for the must needed essentials, of coure. :)

Interestingly, for the Federal Govt to quarantine, they have to test you and provide the results within a very short window. I read it was 3 days but whatever, it would be short. The below link is from the CDC regarding such matters. Professionally, I always try to go back to USC and CFR to read the rules myself but I think this works...
Legal Authorities for Isolation and Quarantine | Quarantine | CDC

States, however, have differing rights to lock areas down.
 
Solid comment right there
Explain Havah? I understand if you had 10 democrats and 10 republicans in a room voting for massive lock down. You will have all 10 democrats voting hell yes shut it all down. And probably have 5 republicans out of the 10 vote to shut down. I get it.

I just refuse to believe(or I'm a litte naive) our nations safety as being a political decision per say. I'm hoping it's a humane decision in this very difficult and dangerous time.

I am sure I will get shit for saying so but I want our nation to be a united one and not a divided one.

The evolving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic1 is certainly cause for concern. Proper communication and optimal decision-making is an ongoing challenge, as data evolve. The challenge is compounded, however, by exaggerated information. This can lead to inappropriate actions. It is important to differentiate promptly the true epidemic from an epidemic of false claims and potentially harmful actions.
 
On another note. Have someone I know that works at Supermax. He is tested every night before he leaves for the Corona Virus.

He then has to wait until morning for the phone call to let him know if he can or cannot go to work that day.

As pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to accelerate, French Health Minister, Olivier Véran has confused matters by claiming on Twitter that anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or cortisone could aggravate the infection.

However, scientific evidence does not indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) consumption puts patients who otherwise might have mild or asymptomatic infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)—the virus that causes COVID-19—at risk of more severe disease.

People taking NSAIDs for other reasons should not stop doing so for fear of increasing their COVID-19 risk.

Commiefornia / Cattlefornia just issued a whole lockdown. You can even get fined $1000 AND go to jail for going out.

Full Soviet-Stalin / Cuba's Castro / Venezuela Chavez-Maduro style policies.

I hear you. Realistically (and not trying to be cynical) for decades have watched this political crap grow and grow and grow. Within each country and between each country. The only thing many of these guys work at is power. Even the few who want to make things better for all/most/many, they know it requires power and influence.

Just reading posts on this forum, you have people blaming media, leftist, etc. Some virtually speak in terms that unless others are like them, they should just die. It paint bodybuilders in the stereotype of self-centered people who blow kisses at themselves when they pass a mirror.

And it's everywhere. Was talking to a company to get some tax forms they were supposed to send. Got chatting and they didn't care about the virus because they were 40 with kids and no old relatives.

Provided this virus doesn't mutate, it will be a mild pandemic. Imagine if they lost control of Ebola or the earlier SARS. Epidemiologists have been talking about the very real risk of pandemics for decades. So it is surprising that people are surprised.

So ultimately, people like to stick there head in the sand and hope nothing bad happens. And bad things are other peoples problem, not theirs. As long as that attitude exists, there can be no real unity, peace or security. As long as an individuals 'rights' are more important than another individuals 'rights' there will remain problems. When I grew up, one's responsibilities were emphasized over one's rights. To some degree, rights, freedom, liberty are all relative concepts unless one's lives on their own private planet.

It would be interesting to start a thread here for people to post who have this virus. Will they be 'attacked' as leftists? hypochondriacs? lol

Tested every night??? Wow....doctors aren't seeing anyone around here. ERs are not even an option. I drove almost 2 hours to a testing sight that was shut down by being at max capacity within a few hours.
