The US does not exist in a vacuum. A second point...AS long as your country has idiots who think that they are ""Immune because of their religious beliefs " you will have a huge problem, when the second wave arrives. Be assured that it will come.
Nice. You put down the U.S. and the religious folks who reside there. Anyone else you want to insult? How about the Chinese Communists who are the actual guilty party? And now it's coming out that the virus did come out of that lab in Wuhan?

As for "world wide vaccine" that's BS. Most people will develop herd immunity to the virus - in fact millions already have. In about three months, we'll have great treatments to get people recovered in 3-4 days.

And yes, in about six to nine months there will be a variety of vaccines in widespread testing.

The gyms will all come back next year.

The best I have heard is an emergency vaccine might be provided to healthcare workers in the fall of 2020. A vaccine for the rest of us is not expected to be available before the spring of 2021.


I have not heard of "great treatments to get people recovered in 3-4 days." Can you please cite your sources?

Weight machines, treadmills, bikes, Stairclimbers, etc. are much easier. I think people could sign up online to workout with people given time slots and lots of disinfectant to wipe down equipment before and after.

As an avid basketball player, I realize it is one of the worst sports for this virus, and I don't seen anyone playing games for many months.

I do think pools could reopen on a limited basis for swimming laps. I swim laps at my local Y and I don't see why they couldn't have people sign up for time slots with one person to a lane.
I was going to the gym until mid-March when my gym closed, which was done about 3 days before some level of local government mandated gym closures. My fitness level isn't at the level it was when the gyms closed, even though I have been doing YouTube workout videos. It's not the same. I'm likely to be back at some point when it opens, but I'm not sure now if that's an immediate thing.

I live in an apartment with a pool. The pool is currently closed. It is possible to swim laps in the pool, which I do regularly from May-September. Given that it is April, I'm sensing that Coronavirus will impact my ability to swim laps this summer.

I play tennis. I had not played since about mid-February when the virus hit. I'm in no rush to play tennis again. The social distancing is achieved with players on the opposite sides of the court, but the touching of the ball is a concern. I can imagine playing tennis in medical latex gloves to not be fun at all.

I want to be back in the gym most but I'll do it in a measured way.

I have a pull-up bar in the garage so my workouts now are a combination of pull-ups and pushups. It is better than nothing but not much better.

I had been working at hard until mid-March, and was stronger than I had been in a couple years. I have quickly lost the strength.

I looked it up to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Doesn't look promising so far but there are obviouls many variable such as dosage and when to use it.

SO basically, I didn't waste money making my own home gym?

CNN, Newsweek, and theconversation are anti-Trump liberal websites. Trump is pushing hcq. Therefore, they try to paint it as ineffective. I don't know what medrxiv is but the "official" party line by the medical establishment is to poo-poo anything that's not scientifically proven.

However there are thousands of docs around the world reporting good results from it. Look up Zev Zelenko M.D. who has treated over 1,500 patients in New York, for example.

You can believe the liberal media, or you can get the cure. Pick one.

It appears they have used this combination a lot in New York City so I'll be interested in what gets reported there.

It will likely not be for months (maybe even a year), until there is a vaccine. Of course, this is subject to change. I could see openings in the late summer/fall. Operations will definitely change though. Gyms will likely be loaded with disinfectant wipes and spray. There will be requirements to wipe down equipment before and after use (double cleaning). There will likely be ventilation, engineering changes.
