Good fucking luck. I couldn't even keep my kids in laced up shoes when they were two, never mind a cloth mask.

The good news for us is only I go out. Stay at home mom with two kids means they never leave

Reactivation is not reinfection. That's just a journalist not understanding basic science.Article states you cannot get reinfected.
Coronavirus: Scientists conclude people cannot be infected twice
A total of 277 patients in the country were believed to have fallen ill for a second time, as had patients in China and Japan.news.sky.com
That headline is dangerous and doesn't match the content of the article at all.

Even when we get good ones, not really much point. At best you can scratch that itch of wanting to know if you had it or not, at worst it will give you a false sense of security.

In that it impacts population centers first before it reaches the people who live where there's more hogs (both feral and domestic) than people, yes.
If you can get the Abbott Labs test through Quest, you'll get good info (assuming they're truthful about the 100% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity). For me, those are good enough odds that I'd consider myself safe both personally and as a carrier.

They use two different tests. I'm not sure how you can ensure you get the Abbott version. I was planning on calling my local office.

Dig around. One of the articles mentioned Quest using the Abbott labs test. The Abbott uses the full blood draw and not the finger stick.They use two different tests. I'm not sure how you can ensure you get the Abbott version. I was planning on calling my local office.

No chance. Who is going to wear a mask in the gym? These type of exec orders are ridiculous.
gonna get that veil in Aladdin movie, the see thru lingerie one. Its the only way to comply and still be able to breathe and also not having something effecting your face area.

I don't think people will be clamoring for the gym any time soon. But maybe I'm wrong

Ya all the gym bros I know are chomping at the bit to get back and we still have two more weeks until they open up. Probably a much different attitude about down here in the south than people near all the hot spots on the east coast.
This was last weekend at a local lake. No one was social distancing for shit.

Don't get me wrong, working out in my home "gym" sucks, but people at the gym absolutely suck at cleaning up after themselves. I'm not even sure what those spray bottles even have in them anyways. Will be awhile before I head back in

I'm ready for the gym to be open. Really, REALLY ready for the gym to be open.
Though I don't go to a cardio queen gym where everything is crammed into tight quarters and there are 1500 members. It'll still be real easy to social distance at my gym, there are days where I can't even get a spot because I'm the only one in there (besides the 110 lb chick at the desk), I'll just wipe down whatever equipment I use before as well as after.

Ya I'm not in any hurry either, but the herd animals are getting restless and I bet the gyms in my area will be as packed as they allow them to be when the order is lifted.
