  1. You have a much higher chance of getting COVID at work or grocery shopping then traveling.
  2. That's highly debatable. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/05/21/why-governor-andrew-cuomo-praised-coronavirus-response-column/5220164002/ I don't understand this reasoning. I come into contact with about 50 new people a day at my job. I would come into contact with less then 50 people in my entire trip out west. Why is one safer then the other? One is outside, one is inside. Why are Lowes, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, etc... allowed to be open but small shops with less traffic not allowed? None of it makes sense to me. Are the PPP and unemployment going to be extended? We are 27 trillion in debt? Do you understand what that means? Do we let small businesses just fail if another lockdown occurs? 89% of businesses in this country have less then 20 employees. The large businesses that were allowed to stay open have become monopolies. Bezos on his way to becoming the first trillionaire. How does any of this make sense? https://sbecouncil.org/about-us/facts-and-data/ What is the approximate timeline in when this all ends? Do you know? What if a successful vaccine never gets found? Whats the end game? Is this the end game?
  3. Yeah I'm still going either way just took off almost 2 weeks in September. I've been working the entire time and only have used 1 PTO day out of my 23 for the year. I plan to fly into Vegas, rent my car and then be in nature for 2 weeks camping at various places. I'll be more socially distant on vacation then at work, thats for sure. Was thinking something similar to this but with 3-4 days in Yosemite and a stop in San Diego.
  4. Literally insane. I was planning to do a west coast road trip through the mountains in September. It better be lifted by then. How would they even enforce that? If I flew out to Vegas and flew back to NY and they made me quarantine, would I just go home for 2 weeks? Would I be able to still work? What if I drove to a state in which had high cases, but flew out of a state that had low cases. How would they even know. Ridiculous...
  5. It's killing me. Had June 30th set in my calendar for a 3 hour workout session. Now there is no real timeframe...Meanwhile I'm watching instagram stories of my buddies in California and Florida making gains.
  6. I'm really interested in how sports happen this year. https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/wizards/who-has-tested-positive-covid-19-sports-nikola-jokic-novak-djokovic-among-newest-reported Clemson University 28 student-athletes and members of the athletic staff at Clemson have tested positive for the virus, according to college football reporter Bruce Feldman. The Athletic's Grace Raynor reported that 23 of the players were members of the football team. 13 Texas Football Players The University of Texas announced on Thursday that 13 players in the football program tested positive for COVID-19. The announcement came just 10 days after the university brought players back to campus for workouts on June 8.
  7. Prevent what's happening in Arizona, Florida, and Texas.
  8. If stage 4 is next Tuesday that means gyms will start opening up. Will be curious to see the mask rules here as Florida is virtually a non requirement.
  9. Arizona numbers are getting pretty high and quickly. 2,392 cases on 9,062 PCR tests for a positivity rate of 26.3%. Positivity rate was averaging in the 6-7% range several weeks ago. https://ktar.com/story/3284314/arizona-reports-single-day-high-2392-new-coronavirus-cases/
  10. What we all have to look forward to when everything goes back to normal. I wonder if the AC aiding in spreading the virus around example from China relates to this . We really need a vaccine. I bet we see lots of examples of this happening the next few months and quite a few places will likely have to shut down again before being cleared to reopen. Woman, 15 friends test positive for coronavirus after night out at Lynch’s https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/06/15/woman-15-friends-test-positive-for-coronavirus-after-night-out-at-lynchs/
  11. I would like to take the antibody test too. Where can I get this in around Hamburg?
  12. Yeah I have both. One for real fire on the lawn and this one now for the deck.
  13. Picked up one of these for the backyard deck. Anyone here have one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JJDNWHQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  14. Man, this virus can really really mess your body up...it left holes in her lungs...she was in her 20s. https://apnews.com/90f342e73117fc9fa7f2b0e443d40941?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=APHealthScience
  15. Didn't you take the test back in March and test negative? But now you're positive for antibodies. These tests must be really inaccurate.
  16. I don't know if I would be able to do my hikes without hiking shoes. Walking in winter without protection is not good for you either. I never wear shoes when it's summer though.
  17. As soon as I hit 40 I'm taking test supplements. Maybe even the unnatural kind. Arnold looks pretty good for 72.
  18. Crazy story. A friend of mine just got the antibody test results for COVID. She and her husband were both positive. They were really sick in March. She said it did feel like the typical flu but intensified, and lasted for over 10 days. Her baby was a few months old at the time and she was breastfeeding. Her son received antibodies from her while she was fighting it off, helping to prevent him from getting sick.
  19. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-sweden-mortality/sweden-records-first-week-with-no-excess-mortality-since-pandemic-struck-idUSKBN23F1WK For those curious, they've had 4,600 deaths. Comparing populations, that would be the equivalent of almost 150,000 deaths in the US. So their no-lockdown (lockdown-lite -- limits on crowd sizes, etc) seems like a costly choice, but not devastatingly so.
  20. Can't wait. My sister has the medical card due to her chronic migraines. It also helps with anxiety.
  21. Wolf you love snow and cold more than anyone on these forums. You have to move to Buffalo, we have the best food in the world. So many good restaurants here. You will be greatly missed, and appreciate everything you've done for this forum. I'll have to come to jersey shore sometime. I'm kind of sad. You never got hit with a massive LES event while living over there. What was your biggest event? This could be the year! =(
  22. 29k new cases in Brazil, 1337 deaths so far. They exceed the USA in both by a fair number. They didn't start testing until early April.
