Coronavirus / COVID-19 impact on gym

Is it safe to go to the gym given COVID-19?

I don't care about getting it, I'm young so I'll survive, but if I passed it onto my elderly grandmother, it could kill her.

Apparently gyms are high risk places:

For people who don't see their elderly relatives often it's probably fine. But I live with my mum currently, and my mum sees my grandma frequently. So if I got it then it would easily be passed on.

What do you think? I don't want to kill my family members.

Not fitness, stop being a pussy

>IMPACT ON GYM
>NOT FITNESS
How is it possible to be as fucking stupid as you?

I go to the gym every morning and usually there's anywhere between 30-40 people. This morning only 5 people were there including me...
It felt so surreal it freaked me out a bit.
What the fuck am I going to do if this dumbass chink disease shuts down my gym?
But, seriously if you think it would be easily passed on I would either stop the gym or stop seeing your grandma personally I would stop the latter because you can have it and spread it 1-2 weeks before feeling symptoms and you could pick it up from anywhere.

All gyms in Denmark have been shut down, fucking chinks being manlet gains-goblins

>stop seeing your grandma
It's through my mother that I think it could pass on, because I live with my mum, and she sees my grandma regularly. Maybe I should just ask my mum to not see my grandma.

Like I say, I don't care about me getting it, but the elderly can die from getting this illness.

>you can have it and spread it 1-2 weeks before feeling symptoms
Is it that long? But yeah that's what I've suspected although I can't find that specific length of time quoted anywhere, but you're probably right.

I googled that to check and it looks like you're right. Same in Norway.

>Norway closed all schools, nurseries and universities, gyms, swimming pools and buffet restaurants, and banned sports events
>In Denmark, authorities called on shoppers to avoid excessive stockpiling, schools and universities were closed, and indoor events with more than 100 participants were banned. Officials also encouraged bars and nightclubs to close and said libraries, gyms, and museums would close from Friday

>gyms closed in denmark
Fucks sake. How about Sweden then? I assume its about the same?
I'm supposed to go there for work next sunday and stay for a few months.
Right now I've only seen one article mentioning some gym chain called SATS that has shut all of its down. The one I usually go to while I'm there is in a small town owned by an alright bloke, but he's probably going to be forced to close it down as well if this shit continues.
God I fucking hate bugmen.
Tempted to decline the job for my gains.

All gyms in my country are closed for the next 2 weeks. Good thing I still have a set of weights that is almost as much as I use in the gym.

>most places closing gyms for 2 weeks
What are the chances they'll be reopened after the two weeks?
I doubt it for some reason.
China should have been nuked.

No idea about Sweden.

Are you in Denmark or Norway, since they've done it? Also Qatar apparently is closing gyms.

Just wondering if any other countries are doing it.

Who the fuck knows.

I give no shits about getting it personally because I'm young and I'll easily survive it, but I just worry about passing it on to elderly members of my family.

I work from home and havent left the house in over 6 weeks (trust me i hate it).
My bf works at a gym and he came home one day afterwork and i got sick with the nastiest fever and flu i have ever gotten in my life. HE didnt get sick at all.

But im pretty sure he came home with the sickness on him.
Then my dad got sick from me, but he got over the sickness within 4 days. It took me 10 days to get over it. My dad is 54.

I cant say whether it was corona or not, but this happened about 3 weeks ago.

If you get the virus then you’ll lose more gains than if you just did calisthenics

>I give no shits about getting it personally because I'm young and I'll easily survive it
lmao. amazing how many retards think this. The virus is new and its long term effects relatively unstudied. Why risk it just so you can go a shitty gym. Just take a couple weeks off dude.

Norway is about the same as Denmark in to gyms from what my Norwegian friend told me. Scandinavia is pretty much a gains free zone as of right now. Sweden I'm not sure about, but I'll read up on it and get back to you

Slovakia.
We pretty much have most facilities closed with the exception of grocry stores, drug stores and restaurants.
It went into effect this morning and it's planned to be in effect for at least 2 weeks, we'll see afterwards.

All the gyms where i live are shut down by the government :((((((((((.
I'll have to return to calisthenics for a while

t. seething homegymlets

coronavirus is a massive meme just ignore it and carry on. the main issue is retards hoarding everything so you will need to keep a couple of weeks food in your freezer in case your supermarkets run out

Sweden is apparently fucked aswell. How'll we keep our gains brehs..
Translation is roughly: "gym giant SATS closes gyms due to corona"

It can be anything really. I sometime get a fever just by meeting large group of new people. It's like my imunnee system needs to reconfiigure for them. You basically have a 2nd hand experience with meeting those people, so it was only a matter of time.

No, stay at home

This, while bad to catch it Im more concerned about family member catching it from me. Especially my parents which are both over 60. So far even if we triple the death toll, it's still less than annual death due to flu related issues. We'll see what will happen in the next month once it gets warmer, if the spread slows down or remains unchanged.

Swede here. I lift in a cellar gym and we're open as usual. Roiders at my gym have been worrying about the AAS raws from China being contaminated with Corona, lol

>he doesn't workout with mask and filter on

You reckon it's that bad? What country are you in?

Exactly, I don't give a fuck about me, it's my elderly relatives I'm worried about.

Pic related, in 80+ year olds, the death rate is estimated at 15% if you catch it. That's pretty high. My grandmother is in that group, and my mother, who I live with, sees her regularly. So I could pass it to my mother who could pass it to my grandmother.

Yeah I live with my gran so I don't want to catch is and give it to her. She needs daily care as it is. If she caught any flu/cold it wouldn't be good, nevermind this fucking one.

Home workout and washing hands often, hoping for it to pass.

>GYMS CLOSED IN MY COUNTRY TOO NOW

And yet I honestly can't stop laughing at the absurdity of this whole situation. Some retarded ching-chong ding dong tried making skank ass bat soup and now the whole world is falling on its ass. Responsible for millions of pounds in lost gains.

And of course the flu has a vaccine, dunno if your gran has it, but many people do.

While COVID doesn't.

Yeah it's dumb, China needs to regulate its meat industry way better.

This.

Friend of mine and I both met with our DnD group, and about five days later, both came down with a nasty flu. He got over it in two weeks, I got pneumonia from it and am still recovering almost three months later. It's been rough.
Whatever covid19 can do, it's not as bad as what I had. I'm staying active. My family has already quarantined themselves and gone full autismo about the whole thing, so even if one of em gets it, they'll be just fine

trim the hair in your armpit, you disgusting manlet mutt

>my Grandma May die
Holy shit, you do realize we're all gonna die sooner or later?

>The virus is new and its long term effects relatively unstudied.
Lmao corona class flus have been around for decades, and while this one is particularly virulent its symptoms and effects are nearly identical to other corona class flus. Sure it's possible there's some unknown long-term effects but it's less likely.

The main goal is to not overload medical resources while the virus runs its course.

Most of my family is dead, my mom tho she better be ok in these times :(

Do a heavy set of 20 on squats every other day, and do tons of rows and heavy presses on the days in between. Finish off with some sprints if you can. This will strengthen your immune system.

I had the same feeling but it was during mid February. Turns out that it was just empty because it was midday on a weekday but I was a little spooked because I thought corona chan was kicking in for everyone

dont believe the chink bat lie,thats just a cover up

Even if you survive, it is more likely it will permanently damage your respiratory system.

Yes but do you want to be standing at your grandmother's funeral realising you're the one who killed her?

This level of autism.

This virus seems to be pretty deadly to old people though, see here, 15% of 80+ year olds who get it, die from it: I'm just worried about passing it to elderly relatives, I don't want to kill my relatives

What do you guys think - if there's a risk of you passing it to an elderly relative, should you skip the gym?

>just canceled my gym membership
lmao

My gym just limited people indoor max 100. but will stay open for now.
im morning crew anyway so we good

I see the Chinese defense force is on early.

No.

It likely originated in the US as a bioweapon

You should card about getting it. Even if the risk of dying is low it still has much higher morbidity than flu and could cause permanent damage to your lungs, kidneys, and reproductive system.
And when the hospitals get overrun in a few weeks young people will start dying too because they can’t get even the most basic treatments. There are nowhere near enough hospital beds, respirators, or healthcare workers for what’s coming. You’re basically playing Russian roulette and saying “well I’m not worried most of the chambers are empty and even if I get shot I’ll probably only lose a kidney or get a collapsed lung”

It doesn’t matter whether it was man made or not. Makes literally no difference at this point.

For that dear lord, we need to stop this Coronavirus Rumor and Disease, everywhere. We need to save the world until this next week or in three more weeks.

Pray for a miracle if the Coronavirus is lone gone.

why would heavy bench presses and rows strengthen your immune system

this is some broscience bullshit

What the fuck do you even do then at this point? It's likely 80% of the americans will get it, is it better to get it now when the immediate panic sets in to reserve a hospital bed or wait until you get it 2 months from now and hope that society hasn't collapsed.

Saw some article mentioning that as well. Guess its just the big chains right now. Only a matter of time until others follow I reckon.

>Swede here. I lift in a cellar gym and we're open as usual.
Yeah, I'm hoping its gonna be the same where I go.
Its not too big of a town, so there's a chance. Guess I'll email the owner a few days before I'm supposed to leave, if the ferries or whatever are still in action at that point.
Just got back from my home gym in Estonia and they are closed starting tomorrow. Also a very small town. Might as well leave then. Fucking chinks.

I live in Shanghai. My gym has been closed there since January 26th ish.

I came back to Canada and the gym isn't closed, but hearing morons in my gym talking about it has me concerned with how arrogant North Americans are.

Honestly everything should just be shutting the fuck down for two - three weeks but your jewish masters won't stand for it.

>juSt tAke a CouPlE wEKS oF

This shit is gonna go on for months

>IT'S MANMADE
>You're talking shit
>WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER

The risk of young people dying is INCREDIBLY LOW, see the picture here: I'm in my 20s and from that graph it looks like the death rate for my age is like 0.2% or something absurd. So ~99.8% of 20-29 year olds who get it will survive.

I'm only concerned about my elderly relatives like my grandma. She's in the 80+ category, and the death rate there is just under 15%.

I'm proud of the UK for once. The gyms won't close! My gym just sent us an email that they're not closing and are increasing the cleaning. The gym is insanely empty because of all the scared normies. It's heaven in there.

What do you expect? People to avoid the gym for half a year? Based corona isn't going away any time soon, if at all. If you stop now you might as well give up completely.

HOME GYM MASTER RACE

They don't, on the contrary your immune system is usually suppressed after a hard workout, because your body needs to allocate resources to repair the damaged tissue.

Litteraly just hopped on to ask yall this

What the fuck are you gonna do when your gym gets closed because of those fucking yellow nigger chinks?

I don't have a fucking home gym. What the fuck you gonna do, you gonna let all your gainz fade and start over next year? You gonna start doing calisthenics in the park in a pathetic attempt to halt your fading gainz, like a fucking idiot? HUH?!
