this isn’t good at all monday numbers are usually pretty low in dallas. some hospitals didn’t even report and we broke the record
My gym just opened up, thought I'd go check it out. Mostly college age kids, very few wiping down equipment after they used it. Home gym for the foreseeable future it is.
I have no idea why people need to go to a gym during this. Go for a run or a bike ride. Do push ups, sit ups, burpees, dips. Jump rope. Why the need to go to a gym?
conservatives fully adopting this stance on mask honestly just highlights how fucking stupid they were for 3 straight months. They shoulder the blame for taking 125,000 deaths and a new spike to figure it out.
Fauci shouldve lied and said that wearing masks doesnt protect others, it protects yourself. I bet usage would be up 50%.
Im leaning closer to believing that if Trump and Pence would have worn masks from the start we couldve had 100,000 less deaths than now.
President of my Mom's company went on a ventilator yesterday. Today in conference call they were asking for prayers. Stemmed from an in person meeting they had 2 weeks ago with 10 people in a small conference room no one wearing masks. Day after meeting one attendee was severely ill with symptoms. Since meeting nearly everyone in attendance has tested positive.
Mine is opening back with reserved time slots of 1 hour increments, closed for 30 mins of cleaning then open again and so on. I’d do it if it was a legit 24 hour gym and not just called that. They start at 8 am. If they offered a 3-4 or 4-5 slot I’d do it because there wouldn’t be anyone in there and I’d be able to clean and everything. I’d wear a mask and gloves for sure though. I know that they closed all restrooms and everything as well. If I did it, it’d only go one day a week for a specific body part workout to do heavy and the rest of the week do everything else at home and just rotate the day way week.
People in prison without access to weights work out and look like the Incredible Hulk. It just seems like a stupid risk at this point but whatever.
I'd prob do that tbh but my gym can have 60 people in at a time. You're wearing masks but the whole idea of it sounds awful
Take a deck of cards and throw them on the ground. Count up the numbers and do that many push-ups Pretty sure Ray Lewis did that
When we do get the opportunity to go back into the office it's gonna be a requirement that the building is at 20% capacity So pretty much gonna be working from home the rest of 2020 assuming I keep my job
I went once last week. There were six people there and I wiped down everything before and after. I just wanted to see what it was. I went back to see today and the parking lot was mostly packed, so I stayed away. I know a lot of people keep saying to run or work out at home but its 90° and full humidity. I try to get motivated at home but it's so close to my couch. I need to figure it out because I'm not heading back to the gym anytime soon.
I'm doing body weight and resistance bands. It's not ideal. All the adjustable dumbbells have been sold out for months. It sucks
The weights are my issues. I signed up for Beachbody and need to get some bands. I will say the gym felt good and I'm really cheap and hate not using crap I'm paying for, but as I said, im still not using the Beachbody I'm paying for. I really need to figure it out and get motivated quick
Resistance bands and running suck, but Covid is worse. I recently made the transition to working out early in the morning to avoid the heat. My night owl body clock is not happy.
I would learn to machine my own dumbbells from sheet metal before I walk into a gym. This is a great time to get better at running or buy a new piece of equipment to get better at something else; bicycle, stationary equipment, paddleboard, etc.
Currently embracing the heat. It feels like 100 outside so I take my adjustable kettlebell on our back porch area and did my shoulder exercises today for about an hour. After that I came in, wrapped my midsection in Saran Wrap, threw on a hoodie and went for a 30 min jog around the park and finished with 5 mins of jumping rope. Feel like I’m going to die. Edit: in my fantasy gym it would be only me and the gym would be 90 degrees at all time. Never have to step foot in a sauna.
Turner slapped 3 bars onto the wall of shame in Houston for not closing this weekend. Guess they’ll be getting watched by abc now.
I need to embrace it. I was asked to umpire over the weekend and I could have lost at least five pounds working for a couple hours in full gear, but it's so damn hot.
In the before time I was always a morning gym person. I’d go really early to have it be empty and get it over wirh for the day. Now that I can’t lift like I did I figured I’d just make my workouts as hard as I can using what I got.
No, they didn’t offer it when I was in school. Learned the trick from guys I knew who did bodybuilding.
Saw an MD on CNN earlier whose hospital is having good success at keeping ppl alive. Said he is doing things in a completely different manner than 2 months ago. Really focusing on inflammation/clots. I'm sure there are other things involved that weren't covered in the story.
My friend tested positive Thursday or Friday of last week. I reached out to see how he was doing and he said he’s lost all taste and smell now but those are his only symptoms. So weird how this effects different people in such a different way.
All of the alt right that are claiming that mask enforcement is an encroachment on their individual rights.... how do they reconcile this with their pro life views? The whole chanting of “my body my choice” regarding masks is grossly hypocritical... especially considering that masks are effective in protecting those around you from you.
It's been really weird watching people who are otherwise doing things right try to justify going to the gym.
Any thoughts on the mutated strain being more efficient and possibly less deadly? I’m also seeing where hospitals are saying now that they have a gameplan it’s easier to treat people admitted, but with cases rising and deaths seemingly holding steady I can’t help but wonder if there is something to the mutation? Granted I fully understand that even if it’s a less lethal form of the disease numbers of deaths are eventually going to trend up with more infections regardless of its kill rate.
This is me. Before all this I was that guy in the gym that would warm up in sweats and by the time I was halfway through deadlifts looked like I’d just finished patching a tar roof on the equator.
obviously it’s a bit off but i can’t help thinking back on this from may and people scoffed at it. today there were 1450 new cases in harris county May 22, 2020 HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — On Thursday, Gov. Greg Abbott lifted any travel restrictions into the state, the latest way to say Texas is back open. However, as life gets back to normal for many, new data paints Harris County in a troubling light. A model developed by PolicyLab at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia projects that Harris County could go from roughly 200 new COVID-19 cases a day to more than 2,000 by June. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kh...ight/285-d11b86a3-87bd-4d4e-b59c-7e4003a2ab34
Some discussion of this in the other thread. Let's wait and see. Too soon to know if it's changing mortality/morbidity of the virus or just more efficient at spread and therefore "growing out". I would argue that physicians knowing how to treat these patients has a big impact.
Gym Update Day 4: 9-11am, more people than yesterday, but still not more than 8 people in the whole place at any given time. Everyone wore masks at all times except when they were drinking fluids. Don't think I got within ten feet of anybody else. All windows wide open to let in the cool ocean breeze Still far safer than the supermarket
Can we stop with the gym updates? They’re getting as stale as the “went to the store and only 15% were wearing masks!”
