I can get a great workout in my room with an 8 pack of large water. Curls, chest, shoulders you name it. Then, some rubber pullies for other exercises. Sit ups, push ups, I actually work up a nice sweat in an hour. Not perfect, but better then sitting with a lousy excuse the gyms are closed. ...or posting girly-man whines on internet forums like the OP.

There are numerous references, throughout the WWW that the coronavirus could be spread by touch. And this possibility is taken seriously enough for shops to be closed down and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected if an infected person is known to have visited it. Why do that if this possibility was not true? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NanLaew Posted January 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2021 20 minutes ago, Peter Denis said: The virus is not transmitted by touching surfaces, or garments in your post. It is an airborne virus, and it can stay alive for some time on a surface but the risk that you would touch sufficient still active particles and then touch your nose or eyes, resulting in you getting infected, is negligible. Infections have been positively identified as being transmitted by the virus surviving on the hard surfaces of packaged, deep frozen processed foodstuffs that have been imported from completely separate countries. There's a very good reason why one of the vaccines requires storage between -60°C and -80°C. The WHO and every health authority states it can stay alive on hard surfaces for over 70 hours so it isn't negligible. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will soon turn 72 and no I don't want Covid but the steps they are taking are just plain stupid. 94% of all Covid deaths are from people with comorbidities. My mother in law died they say from Covid. She was 96 and in failing health. Senator Elizabeth Warren's brother "died from Covid" He was 86 had cancer and was in a rehabilitation home to recuperate from pneumonia before he contracted pneumonia. If he had contracted TB would you say he died from TB? If he contracted the flu and died would you say he died from the flu? Any person who has significant health problems and contracts any other disease is at increased risk for significant complications and/or death because of their underlying health conditions. That is true for Malaria, Dengue Fever, Influenza, Bacterial Infections, Blood Clots, Phenomena and the list goes on. The reality is that 95% of people who contract Covid exhibit symptoms if any at all that are so mild that they don't even require hospitalization. Covid is serious but don't make it out to have the same lethality as the venom from a Komodo Dragon. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the word 'condescending' in relation to Moonlover's post, because he claimed that non-essential shops like clothing shops are closed for reason of the covid-virus sticking on the garments and thus transmitting by touch. That particular risk is absolutely neglible. And so I resented his 'condescending' grand finale - Got It? after that incorrect explanation of his.

No and No. They would say he died from "complications" to his existing cancer and pneumonia. Additionally since they are not performing autopsies on these people for all you and I know these people died from their existing health problems. You are only assuming that Covid made those conditions worse. Using your logic a person with No signs of Covid but is infected gets into an automobile accident and suffers head trauma and later dies. His death was Covid because the antibodies were in his system? No he died because of his other injuries just like the majority of people do not die from Covid, they die with Covid and the Covid just like the flu, sepsis, a stroke, malaria, dengue fever etc may have worsened their existing health problems. The person with serious heart disease who dies while having Covid died from his heart disease and its complications not from Covid. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s time to learn to LIVE WITH IT and stop shutting down everything because you are afraid of a flu virus with a 99% survival rate. Somehow shutting down gyms, yet optional construction work that is certainly non essential gets to keep on going. Not even my condo building has their fitness center open despite the fact that their is zero cases within a good 30km from here, but somehow crowded shopping malls, MASSAGE PARLORS, and Parks get to stay open. Pure incompetence. Be thankful you don't live in the US where you would be sent to a reeducation camp for such thoughts. The shutdown is part of the new world order, Comrade.
