Also a Manhattan Beach (California) surfer was given a $1,000 citation after telling a lifeguard, "Go ahead and fucking arrest me", and went in the water despite the beach being closed. The lifeguard called the police, who forced the guy out of the water and gave him a $1,000 citation.

Why?
1) They don't want to contradict their earlier stance of "calling it the Chinese Virus is racist", because they shamed Trump so hard for it. If it turns out that China is still acting badly, that will make people more likely to think such terminology is okay.
2) They want to blame Trump for the problems in the US, and enjoy the narrative that the US is the worst in the world right now, or will be soon (somehow they gloss over Italy during this discussion). If China is still experiencing mass death and a large number of new cases, it makes Trump's actions look less irresponsible.
3) It will remind people that China is the most at fault for all of this, and continues to lie at a time when transparency is key to solving this. The left hates acknowledging that any country outside the US is acting worse than the US, while Trump is in charge.
We just have to completely ignore China. They will not give any useful information, nor will they be honest.
FFS! Jump on YouTube and learn how to stay fit at home. For example...Quote:

Not the same thing. I'm used to a lifting routine and progressively overloading sets to gain muscle and lose fat. These guys, while they look great now, if they continue doing these type of routines, will not grow and most likely lose gains
Its better than nothing, but I didn't spend 2.5-3 hrs in the gym everyday to get "better than nothing" results. I need to lift thingds up and put them down. Only people that lift can understand this..
I have resistance bands and whatnot but that's good for weeks not months as this is where it looks like its heading. Plus gym time was an escape, a time where work didnt matter and I wasn't smoking weed or eating shit. Now, I'm trapped at home doing both.
I fucking need a psychiatrist.

Stop your whining and try something different than your beloved routine to keep your bulk up.Quote:

OSA, how important is fitness in the gay world?
I have heard that's a big deal, and guys who let themselves go a little are at a big disadvantage. Is this true?
For straight guys, it doesn't really hurt us that badly if we aren't fit, or have some belly fat, as long as it's not noticeably bad. This is especially true once guys are over 40, as women kind of expect it to be the case. Also, most women over 40 tend to be much less shallow, and the younger women who like older guys tend to also be less shallow (or are gold diggers), so the unfit guy my age isn't at much of a disadvantage in the dating world.
From what I've observed, though, this wouldn't fly in the gay dating scene. True?
This has probably be said but employers who take a loan to pay workers get that money back,. 1000 deaths in ny, including a child.
The reality is we are too big of a country to think social distancing is going to work. We are simply too free and we are not going to have soldiers walking through the streets with machine guns ordering people back into their house. I have young kids now and I am personally terrified but the reality is the reality. People will stay in for a month, alcohol is going to flow and self isolation is not going to work come three weeks from now, especially after the government sends the checks, people will go out and party.Quote:

New York City has reported its first death of a child to COVID-19, one of hundreds new state fatalities overnight that brought the grim toll to 1,342 by Monday evening, officials said.
The age of the minor wasn't released, but the victim did have an underlying condition
Very sad about the kid, but at least this means parents of healthy kids (like me) don't have to panic.
My worry regarding this virus goes like this:
My parents: A lot of worry
Me: Moderate worry (though I more fear ending up on a ventilator than dying)
Ben: Not worried at all

With that being said, unless you are filthy rich, looking like a fat ass will get you nowhere. You got plenty of cash so you would do ok.
I am lucky to have a great personality and make great first impressions, as evidenced by the Dinner for Shmucks night in Vegas a while back so my body isnt as important, but I of course wont be fucking 10s without one. However, I was on track to a noticeable sixpack and lifting very respectable weight.
I will be trying to visit Vegas in May and as well in September(during my birthday). Please find it in your heart to arrange some sort of comped stay. It would be a mitzvah and considering I am a Cohen, in your best interest for the Jewish afterlife.
TIA

I was in the supermarket and the line was 30-40 deep. Definitely no social distancing there either
Even more ridiculous is this contact tracing. I saw 'experts' on this the last couple days. The idea is if you test positive for Corona, they find who you were around a few days before and ask those people to self quarantine. Do you know how fucking impossible that is with 350M people in the US? Like I said, herd mentality is going to cure this ultimately. It's too late, actually nothing would have really worked.Quote:

Sonatine basically nailed it in his topic line, nothing has changed since January 24th.
I’m calling an in general “bullshit”.
I went to a Tijuana Flats for dinner - got take out for the family. Place is jam packed on Monday nights as it’s “kids eat free” and this is in the middle of suburbia. There were four others there and nobody was within 20 ft of each other. I paid at the counter and. They sent me back out to my car where they delivered curbside. Our cars had 4-5 spaces in between them.
Point being we are far far far far so motherfucking far from where we were three weeks ago.
There are always going to be outliers and people who are just plain fucking stupid. That being said it’s my experiance most people are taking this all reasonably seriously. I’m not seeing “en mass” blatant disrespect to social distancing.
You could argue we need to be stricter - but from what I’m seeing what we are doing is working.
I think this "nationwide lockdown" is going to last longer than a month. The Spanish Flu was around for about three years and the vaccines that they made to defeat it did not work. It simply disappeared.Quote:
The Spanish flu (also known as the 1918 flu pandemic[2]) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic. Lasting from January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people—about a quarter of the world's population at the time.

Get back to me in a month pal. Human nature is what it is. You were in Subuarbia where it is really cool to show you are socially conscious to your neighbors. How about you walk into an underground pool hall in Houston and tell me what you see? You are looking at things right through your own lens, not realizing there are 350M people in this country and 7B on the planet. I want you to be right, I really do, but if there were $100 cruises for a week, people would be lined up by the thousands and take their chances. And forgive me, but why are grocery stores immune? I saw people standing a half a foot between each other, and please spare me that does not happen in your neighborhood.Quote:
