I'm taking 3 scoops of preworkout for that first lift in the gym. Going to an all time lifting session.

Hopefully there is some truth to the warm weather having a positive impact on the spread and we see a gradual decline all summer. But I feel like its inevitable that cases go up as we reopen.

So gyms, movie threatres, schools, will be phase 4?

How long does each phase last? 2 weeks?

Phase One: Starting May 15th Central New York, Finger Lakes, Mohawk Valley, North Country and Southern Tier are allowed to reopen Construction Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting Retail - (Limited to curbside or in-store pickup or drop off) Manufacturing Wholesale Trade Phase Two: Not Open Professional Services Retail Administrative Support Real Estate / Rental & Leasing Phase Three: Not Open Restaurants / Food Services Phase Four: Not Open Arts / Entertainment / Recreation Education

I would take no fans for the entire season and then fans for the playoff game. Can you imagine the price of those tickets? The playoff game wouldn't be until January, I think we have fans by then.

What about contact tracing? I thought that was the one we were missing?

Western NY hits 6 of 7! https://www.wkbw.com/news/coronavirus/wny-takes-another-step-closer-to-reopening?fbclid=IwAR3ZIdWxRLKj6xQFrkWPG5KI-zsW6B51fq-lCen1SwruHC1hk20ogDIf0O0

How is this data tracked? Satellites? Seems way too niche to be accurate to me.

- mid April, Georgia notices it has peaked - Georgia decides to open in order to give local businesses a chance to survive this if they want - experts have a field day - "in a few weeks it's going to be a blood bath" - "this is a mass human sacrifice" - "what are they doing" - "there will be bodies in the streets" - even evil orange man says way too soon - 3-weeks have passed - hospitalizations are the lowest they've been since early April - ventilators in use are way down, so much so that most hospitals have gotten back to elective surgeries - no major spike of new cases yet - cases actually have gone down 12% - death rate is down

Antibody tests reveal coronavirus might have arrived in WA in December https://mynorthwest.com/1875726/report-antibody-test-coronavirus-washington-december/

Have been looking up how many people die in USA from various factors and came across the stat from CDC that smoking kills 1315 people per day in just the USA. That's insane. I wonder what it was in the 80s/90s? 2-3K+? https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/tobacco_related_mortality/index.htm

Had a client come in today that didn't receive PPP money and are hoping to get it before the 2nd round drys up. If he doesn't a 3 generation business is going to go out of business.

This is really interesting. Since the coronavirus is a similar strain to the common cold the majority of us may already be immune to it. This recent paper surprisingly demonstrated that non-exposed Covid individuals had reactive T cells to various regions of SARS-CoV2 including the spike protein. The possibility exists that prior exposure to colds caused by other coronaviruses may confer some T cell cross-reactive immunity to Covid. Some are speculating (not in this paper) those with T cell responses may be the asymptomatic people walking around. Alex Sette, the last author in this Cell paper is highly regarded in his field of epitope mapping and T cell immunology. I used to work for him. He is quite brilliant. https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0092-8674(20)30610-3

The thing is we may never get a vaccine. It is far from a guarantee and if I had to wager a percentage I would say its more likely we don't get a vaccine, and if we do its not effective or has worst side effects then the actual virus. So we either hope for the virus to mutate into a less contagious and less deadly virus which is definitely possible as viruses are constantly mutating or we develop herd immunity. Or another possible option is develop treatment for the symptoms, a band aid to help people get through the worst symptoms.

So border opens in time for July 4th you think? Around that time?

Lots of juicers in Cali and Florida though. Hard to compare.

No timetable given for WNY reopening https://wben.radio.com/articles/no-timetable-given-for-wny-reopening?fbclid=IwAR3R_zfRToOacIBunP46q_tJfBSaIUFIpXeuZkLt377Z5ycyDqMFkTxo9Uk

@Luke_Mages New York is a pretty healthy state in comparison to most, I'm quite surprised by this. https://www.consumerprotect.com/hot-topics/worst-eating-and-exercise-habits-in-america/

Yeah I highly doubt we get to phase 4 before Sep 1st. And then flu season starts in conjunction with COVID. We may never see an open gym again. Our only hope is what Wisconsin did. They are now fully open. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/13/politics/wisconsin-supreme-court-strikes-down-stay-at-home-order/index.html
