Pushups are your friend here. Body weight squats and lunges also kick ass. To get your heart rate up, can you jump or will you downstairs neighbors murder you?

They cancelled taekwondo classes but they are still going to do belt testing over the next few days but only in small groups of like 5, fine or no?
If I ran a fitness center and wanted to stay open I’d make people schedule blocks on each machine 24 hours in advance and do a proper cleaning in between. Even better, let people “own” a machine until they’re all owned, thus nobody else is using it - once they’re all owned let people schedule them for the next week and rotate, deep clean in between.
That keeps people from spreading germs somewhat and if the place is well ventilated and you do temperature checks and kick out anyone coughing, you reduce risk of spread a lot.
Also social distance the machines - if they are only two feet apart you go every other.
This is an example of how businesses are going to have to get creative for a period of time. Some will, some won’t I imagine.
i have no idea how people can have read this entire thread and then just casually drop that they went to play poker, like iron, or that they were in the gym like trolly or simplicitus

It may not be that big a deal, but it’s not obvious to me that it won’t. GDP is not everything. The entire world doing anything all at the same time could have crazy unforeseen effects. This is without precedent as they say. You Brits all went to work during The Blitz (in fact many were compelled to). I don’t think it’s patently obvious what work is essential and what isn’t (part of why planned economies sometimes have catastrophic failures).

Yeah found one of the last remaining pull up bars on Amazon. And will do pushups. If they keep the little community gym open downstairs I can use the treadmill. Can probably go up and down the stairs if needed although yeah that might be loud for other people.
I am hopeful this will demonstrate once and for all that having offices is basically a stupid idea in this day and age and people should work from home and only come together to use a communal space for a presentation or a meeting or whatever.
Such a waste of time/money to have dedicated office space.

Right, a place where I’m typically >6ft away from everyone and running on a treadmill that gets routinely sanitized is out of the question. Meanwhile, people are rushing out to CostCo in hordes.
For those of you lost without access to a gym, look for some Baptiste power yoga classes online. It’s a fantastic whole body workout that will kick your ass. Set up a space heater next to you if you really want to sweat. Don’t dismiss the idea just because it has the word “yoga” in it. I thought I’d hate it before I went for the first time last year. Ended up signing up for a 12 month membership and going 4x/week because it is such a great workout.

Please pass these along as you read them - in AUS or anywhere.
The only thing that ultimately stops the disease is when each person to get sick spawns fewer than one more infection on average. That’s either a vaccine, or containment measures, or so many people getting sick that enough people who are exposed have already been infected that the average new infections drop below zero. If the baseline is two new infections per sick person, then you need 50% to get herd immunity. Even if it’s only 1.25, you need 20% of the population immune for the epidemic to die out.
There’s really no middle ground between aggressive containment that prevents sustained transmission and a ton of people getting sick. That’s unfortunate, because we seem very likely to end up targeting that middle ground with containment measures that are heavy-handed, but don’t actually kill the epidemic… Probably the best case is that the people to get sick are mainly the young and healthy (who probably transmit the disease more anyways), and the elderly and otherwise vulnerable restrict themselves heavily until the disease dies out via enough younger folks getting sick.

I meant the Ohio governor. But if she’s the one who actually said the 100k thing then ok. I almost never watch videos. ANGTFT
I made the decision with my law office that I will not be doing any more face to face appointments at the office and everything will be moved to phone. The courthouses are still open here which sucks but trying to mitigate as much as I can.
