      - Yes in bulk at Costco -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 12:49
      - It’s just starting to show up everywhere. Once our current supplies dwindle it’s on the list to try. -- nm - spamlet May 19, 12:46
- That has to be fake?! -- nm - Loyola May 19, 12:21 4

Where do gyms weight room aerobic machines fit into the range of risks -- nm - zeitgeist May 19, 12:04 14
- Generally not great, though it depends on size and nature. Here is what my health club says they are doing/going to do. It's pretty comprehensive. - pmb May 19, 12:41 1
  - I don't care how great something sounds, you will still have a human employee (or several) responsible for it. So then it comes down to how much faith - Spawn May 19, 12:45
- In California, they are in Phase 3 which places them just below concerts and sporting events -- nm - con_carne May 19, 12:35

- Even just thinking about going to a gym could give you corona. -- nm - Loyola May 19, 12:09 1

  - It seems a number of universities are. NYU jumped out at me since it's in Manhattan. -- nm - ty97 May 19, 12:00 13
    - Bait-and-switch. -- nm - Spawn May 19, 12:01
    - Manhattan is ahead of the rest of us, in terms of timeline. -- nm - loosilu May 19, 12:01 11
      - The question is about further waves or spikes though, I would think if those occur, we would again be vulnerable. - ty97 May 19, 12:02 10
        
        I wonder what percentage of NYU students are from out of town? -- nm - loosilu May 19, 12:04 9
        
        I would guess most since it's so competitive? - ty97 May 19, 12:06 8
        
        Exactly. It's not a local college like CUNY. They even have international students. -- nm - loosilu May 19, 12:10 4
        
        there is a local college called CUNY? does Groiny know about this?! -- nm - Pippy - Fairy Retriever May 19, 12:23 3
        
        There are many universities that are CUNY. 😂 - Krusty May 19, 12:54
        
        ha ha, it's pronounced with a hard U, so I never thought of that. -- nm - loosilu May 19, 12:30
        
        Major in Linguistics. -- nm - Spawn May 19, 12:25

        19% international. -- nm - loosilu May 19, 12:12
        
        Thanks! -- nm - loosilu May 19, 12:11

- David & Kim are the two Blue votes in their county -- nm - budice May 19, 11:46 23
  - There’s 4 of us. -- nm - Will Hunting May 19, 11:57 3
    - Are you all technically county or city? We're actually city. -- nm - David May 19, 12:00 2
      - Oh, we are County. No liquor stores. -- nm - Will Hunting May 19, 12:03 1
        
        You hick. -- nm - David May 19, 12:19
  - It's discouraging sometimes. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 19, 11:55
  - But their house will still be red b/c the cats vote GOP. -- nm - Open Baron May 19, 11:50 15
    - Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside. - David May 19, 11:54 14
      - Don't shoot the messenger. But you might be able to sway them if you promise to abolish the tuna tax. -- nm - Open Baron May 19, 11:58 13
        
        Or just have Kelly stand at the front door so the one cat can’t get to a polling station. - Will Hunting May 19, 12:04 12
        
        Olive tells Kelly hi! -- nm - David May 19, 12:18 11
        
        I'm in this boat too. While I'm happy the BIL + SIL+ niece are moving close by - they are bringing two cats!! - Pippy - Fairy Retriever May 19, 12:20 9
        
        My downstairs neighbor Siamese cats moved away. :( - Open Baron May 19, 12:26 5
        
        :( - I love that Siamese "talk". -- nm - Pippy - Fairy Retriever May 19, 12:27 4
        
        Our black cats are chatterboxes. Multiple vets have said they suspect black cats have Siamese ancestry. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 19, 12:32 3
        
        *blink* I am confused. A litter of cats will have black cats, striped cats, etc. Are they saying the siblings vary *that* much, and that color - Spawn May 19, 12:50 1
        
        Each kitten in a litter could have a different father. -- nm - jnine May 19, 13:26
        
        ooo good to know - my next one will be black - Pippy - Fairy Retriever May 19, 12:34
        
        We're joking about the fact that we really do have a cat that is afraid of Kelly. - David May 19, 12:25 2
        
        that is so odd -- nm - Pippy - Fairy Retriever May 19, 12:27 1
        
        I'm just waiting for Hunting to incriminate himself in this subthread. -- nm - David May 19, 12:32
        
        I doubt that very much. ;P -- nm - Dark Callisto May 19, 12:19
  - We certainly didn't vote for Kane. -- nm - David May 19, 11:47
  - I am sure they will be suppressed. -- nm - Spawn May 19, 11:47

      - Where the hell did he get 30 million bells? -- nm - John B May 19, 11:42 1
        
        First thing he does in any new game is make bank. -- nm - Spawn May 19, 11:45
      - Did you sit him down and explain that this is how lottery winners and lottery draft picks get into financial trouble? -- nm - Open Baron May 19, 11:41 1
        
        No, that's Henny this is Crown -- nm - budice May 19, 11:42
  - Ohhh, virtual turnips. Well that's very different. Nevermind. -- nm - Roseanne Roseannadanna May 19, 11:37
- Yes. I know 169 isn’t amazing. -- nm - Qale May 19, 11:36 4
  - I was just throwing it out there for anyone that wanted to wait, I'll let you know in the morning where we're at. -- nm - John B May 19, 11:39 3
    - I don’t have a position in turnips this week. -- nm - Qale May 19, 11:44
    - Let me know. I don't have a ton but I'll certainly take a bigger amount if it's there! -- nm - Dark Callisto May 19, 11:42 1
      - Will do, i'll check it at 8 when the Nooklings open. -- nm - John B May 19, 11:44

Maricopa County in Arizona is a traditionally GOP county. In 2016, it went 47-44 for Trump. Democrat Mark Kelly leads his GOP - Will Hunting May 19, 11:31 3
- Yup. See below -- nm - JackDawson May 19, 12:01

If you're outside walking/riding/exercising, do you wear a mask? - JaxSean May 19, 11:26 36
- On my nightly walk with my dog I do not, but I also rarely see more than a couple of people and I keep my distance -- nm - decline May 19, 12:06
- No. -- nm - loosilu May 19, 12:00
- Yes because there are kids everywhere. -- nm - David May 19, 11:55 3
  - Grubby little germ machines... -- nm - Dark Callisto May 19, 11:55 2
    - None of them wear masks in the park where I walk my dog, even though their parents do. A couple kept riding right next to me and then touched me and I - jnine May 19, 14:42
    - It's probably for the best that we aren't parents. -- nm - David May 19, 11:59
- Usually. But I don't if i am out at, like, 7am. But after dinner walk? Definitely. It is respectful to others. -- nm* - Andie May 19, 11:50 1
  - Wearing a mask is really protecting others more than yourself. Other people in masks protect you. -- nm - Andie May 19, 11:59
- If I'm outside of my apartment I'm wearing a mask. I take it off on empty blocks for a breather but put it on before I reach the next - Krusty May 19, 11:48
- no. there's few enough people out and about that its easy to keep distance. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 19, 11:47
- ever see someone vaping outside, see the HUGE cloud of exhaust? -- nm - zeitgeist May 19, 11:47
- Yes. The Commonwealth requires it. -- nm* - Diva May 19, 11:41
- Not at the moment, no. -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 11:41
- Naw. But we rarely see anyone on our walks and those we do see, we keep that 6 foot distance. -- nm - John B May 19, 11:33
- I don't if I'm out walking. But if I see a runner coming towards me, I resent having to breathe in his vapour cloud after he's passed. -- nm - Loyola May 19, 11:33
- I do, but I live in Manhattan -- nm - ty97 May 19, 11:33
- This doc provides a time/respiration exposure calc that would probably suggest passing people outdoors isn't a high risk. - Max May 19, 11:33 1
  - this is really cool. -- nm - amanda May 19, 11:39
- I do. It's hard, I look at it as strengthening my lungs. Yesterday I walked in the sand at the beach and then up the ramps to the pier and it was not - jnine May 19, 11:32
- No. Only when I am going to enclosed public spaces. I can always avoid other walkers. -- nm - Qale May 19, 11:32
- No, but have to admit, if I pass anyone real close I hold my breath. -- nm - Meg May 19, 11:31 1
  - Yeah, I do this as well. -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 11:32
- Of course. LA County-wide, we have to mask up as soon as we leave the house or car. It's hard, but definitely a thing you get used to. -- nm - con_carne May 19, 11:31 1
  - I don't run or bike, but I walk a lot -- nm - con_carne May 19, 11:33
- I have one available, if it was a busy sidewalk I would, I use a neck gaiter with a paper towel (which actually has some protective filtering) -- nm - zeitgeist May 19, 11:31
- No.I just give people a wide berth on the paths. -- nm - Open Baron May 19, 11:30
- we don't -- nm - Beaker May 19, 11:30
- No. From everything I've seen, someone would have to almost literally sneeze on you outside to transmit. - spamlet May 19, 11:29 7
  - Recognize that having a mask on naturally means you're touching your face less. -- nm - con_carne May 19, 11:48 3
    - If I leave my house and don't touch anything outside, touching my face doesn't matter, right? -- nm - spamlet May 19, 12:12 1
      - Spam, it's probably fine for you to be a Firefox Health Expert because you're smart. But we start getting problems when ordinary yahoos start thinking - con_carne May 19, 12:41
    - I put gloves on the other day to shop ( its a hot debate on yes/no) but it really made me realize how much I touch my face/mask. - Pippy - Fairy Retriever May 19, 11:51
  - one guy goes out bar hopping in so korea and 150 new cases are traced back to him -- nm - zeitgeist May 19, 11:32 2
    - Part of the calculation is the length of the exposure and the airflow. Being inside with someone for a long time is a big difference. -- nm - spamlet May 19, 11:35
    - That is very different than just walking about. You know he was Oppa Gangnam Style. -- nm* - Qale May 19, 11:33
- No. I have it on in the stores and I have an instant headache, I can't imagine exercising in one - Pippy - Fairy Retriever May 19, 11:27

    - Sure. I know Sean Conover from Tampa is one lol - JaxSean May 19, 11:50 4
      - Rodney Mullin is from Gainesville and Jamie Foy is from Deerfield Beach -- nm - Krusty May 19, 12:07 2

    - I could even see him being Giant(Ant)man in this context. -- nm - Spawn May 19, 11:38
