Anyone else see President Trumps Re-Open America plan?
It seems states (here in the U.S) will have discretion to re-open after showing two weeks of decreased new cases. He’s proposing a three phase system that allows for gradual re-openings and guess what?
Gyms are totally in phase 1!

Jesus Mate - that is absolutely bloody horrendous. Have you really got to grips with some body weight stuff that you can do then? Do you have anything else you can use for resistance of any kind?
Nah mate - I'm kind of thinking it's probably time to hang up the weights. Maybe this whole CV thing is a sign to stop knocking myself out day in day out. My wife keeps telling me to enjoy life, especially at my age, so I'm just going to kick back, drink my wine, Gin and Bourbon and maybe forget gym...I've done my time, 37 years, nothing to prove to myself or anyone else.
It's all about what makes you feel the happiest Oz ultimately, but knowing you like I think I do I think after a few weeks off you'll be back again :-) It's in your blood like the rest of us on here. Just see how you feel once they re-open again and try relax in the meantime.
I wrote a long-winded self-centred diatribe and then deleted it. There are so many people doing it tough, sick and dying, and I'm whinging about no exercise and getting fat.
I guess that I have cabin fever since I haven't been able to open the front gate for the last two weeks, and being in my cups (you will just have to look that one up, mate), I was just feeling sorry for myself. Well, at least I know that I can come to the Eroids community and offload to like-minded people. Many don't have that luxury.
I had a shave (was looking scruffy and didn't care), did some exercises, and worked on my Aprilia - a semblance of normalcy, and I'm feeling a little better now.
Anyone else reading this - take care there, and that is a genuine comment - not just a platitude. Take all precautions necessary for your health.
Thanks for the kind words, mate. Britain is taking a hammering, stay safe.
Same situation in my state. Rigid measures.
There is a pass that you can print on the internet and you will have to fill it out every time to get out, only in the circumstances you describe.
Now they're testing an App to monitor your personal data, and trace back in case of infection, all the people you've met before. It's a little crazy.
Yeah - it's crazy, but it's for your and other people's good. I'm not bitching about the restrictions...just sharing what's happening here. Take care there Bro.
The gyms here normally re open on the 03/05 but they will extend it with 14 days i think im so patientaly waiting to hit that cable rack again i even dream about it ....
In my area they will be opening about two weeks after everybody else. I just want to feel that steel in my hands again.
I saw the gyms mentioned on the tv but not in the actual writing. Look guys I don't want to piss on our parade but it is the governors that are actually deciding these things and I think it is safe to say gyms were the first closed and will be the last ones opened.
Rustyhooker^^^true. Our gov wants another 6mo of full closure
They know that Gym's are an absolute breeding ground for germs - When I use to train in one especially during the winter I'd have a cold every other week or whatever else was circulating in there. They really will be the last thing to open, and like many have said how many people they will let in at any one time will have to be very low, then there's the problem of how many people will be dying to get back in there after such a lay off. Even now I say invest in home equipment if you have the space as its going to be a long drawn out affair.
RustyhookerIts nuttu [nothing] though having science based college background and 99% recovery rate with 0.001 mortality. Govmt is screwing the pooch. Ve [be] safe but don't be blinded
"While about 0.1% of people who get the flu die, the coronavirus' global death rate is about 4.7%, based on the current numbers of cases and deaths. However, the death rate of the coronavirus fluctuates constantly and varies strongly by country — in Italy, it was above 11% as of Monday, while it was 1.8% in the US."
Note this is dated March 30 and there has been an increase in deaths since then.
Actually dead rate is higher in the States then reported (not sure how other countries count it). A lot of states only include patient that have tested positive for the virus in there death rate. So only people that have been tested positive and usually die in a hospital. I think California does that. A reason their death numbers are lower.
Other states include patients that have tested positive and deaths related to the covid virus. Meaning people that died from the virus but were not tested and usually die at home. Big difference.
One study just found another 25,000 deaths globally that way. Sure there are much more.
According to the John Hopkins covid map tracker 660,000 have recovered.
https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-compared-seasonal-flu-in-the...
"During the 2018-19 flu season, about 35 million people in the US contracted the flu and about 34,000 died, according to the CDC."
When looking at flu deaths one has to remember this is for a year. The covid numbers that spiked are for pretty much the last month.
StevebI don't think you can quote anything accurate right now. The numbers and the way they count deaths have both changed drastically.
I agree they are not accurate and think it is much higher. There are a lot of variables to this.
But it gives a rough idea to people that think the numbers are very low.
StevebYou can look at all cause mortality and see if that has gone up. It hasn't but that's all deaths combined
TronSpark, he can’t hear you.
You a funny dude Tron. He can see me though. I am scared to go outside and confront the group of midget tranny's protesting me now. Some reason they are all dressed the same as that Lion King dude..lol
But the post wasn't to attack rusty. More for general information for everyone. A lot of people..,esp. ones in states that it hasn't hit yet..,don't know about this stuff or have been given misinformation.
dumbshit. not the place. not the time.
WTF are you talking about?
TronApparently Greg was able to decipher the Rusty code that he tends to unknowingly leave behind in his "comments" to where it's probably taken Greg many years of research to understand exactly what the literal FUCK he's talking about but I would say it's something in a derogatory sense regarding COVID-19 and government...I THINK.
He was spewing some bullshit that is hard to ignore. It insults our intelligence. It's easy to check with tools like worldometers.info/coronavirus , but for some reason it didn't happen
It is one thing to have a valid critique like for instance I don't believe outdoor workers should be prohibited. Or I think we have wasted time and likely did serious harm to our economy. But both of those are fraught with moral peril. But don't insult the memories of 41,000+ dead Americans with bullshit numbers you heard on Info Wars.
TronThis made me laugh. Thank you.
Try shopping for home equipment lol. If you didn't already have it you won't for the time being. lol. Sadly I think a lot of gyms are not going to survive this. Now the regular gym rats will still come running when this os over but how many new people you think they are going to get? It is all bad.
True, I've just noticed a few of the larger equipment stores over here are starting to get one or 2 things back into stock - But then again none of it is the proper stuff we'd buy like barbells and plates. More things like trap bars and expensive dumbell kits. I wonder what is causing them to have such problems in re-stocking? Is it the time needed to manufacture the equipment again or shipping delays in bringing it in from oversea's?
Simple, demand. I couldn't believe how fast kettlebells sold out. I mean everybody.
Please God, open up the gyms!!!!!!
TronThere are no atheist when gyms are closed by the Government. God is the only one that can help us. In whatever sense you believe God is ... A white bearded guy in the sky... Budah.. Allah... a used gym towel.. whatever.. PRAY to it.
Italian gyms have been in phase 1 since mid-March. The government says it will start again from May 4 ... but it will not be easy with the new measures because you will have to avoid crowding ... very difficult in gyms.
They say they're going to increase the controls...Lol
So the Italian Gyms have been open since mid-march then? Or is that how long its been proposed ....
It was proposed and approved a few days earlier. The situation here was in full emergency.
The decree was made official in mid-March, all activities closed. The gyms were the last to close and still are. There will be a restart on 4 May, with the necessary precautions against contagion, but for gyms I see it black.
Now there will be other problems.
In a room where 50 people entered, now only 8 people can enter (safety distance in general). Chaos, friend!
RustyhookerAwesome news!!!
I heard the phases depend on if area was allegedly hard hit in number of cases.

TronIf this is false information I'll hunt you down and kill you. I have a very specific set of Liam Neeson's,
They still have to comply with social distancing though. So if I’m your spotter I’m gonna have to encourage you from 6’ away
RustyhookerSo...not like bench press where spotter tea bags?
Or handing dumbells / Shadowing squats ....
It'll be interesting to see if people stick to that one on the bench stations - can't see it myself!
I don't know if he opened it today I'd probably still give it a few weeks. Just me. Getting back to normal sound's nice though.
Molinin302I'm with you on this, I'm in assisted living management, east coast mid Atlantic without being too specific. Our directives are still getting more stringent as of today. It's too early. Way too early. We've had residents pass away last week and this, whose remains haven't been evaluated yet.
Be safe !!!! I see that stuff on tv. Its nuts in that environment..
Awwwwweeeeeeee SHIIIT!!! I know Trump is opening essential buisness but didn't think gyms be phase one. Here in PA buisness will open on Monday and gradually get better from there I hope? Definitely excited to hit the gym. Thank you for this post bro.
Shit I’m googling it now, I’m east coast US and need my gym n tattoo shop open ASAP life isn’t the same ..... ok not the end of the world spent lots of time with my kids which has been awesome but it’d be nice to hit the gym n get some new ink, my appointment has been rescheduled twice
Edit: read up on it, I like the plan, hopefully my Governor will like it as well lol
RustyhookerNew ink...oh yes!!!
