I'm retired. Biggest difference is no indoor dining and gym closed. I still go jogging every day outside in a nearby park. I bought some dumbbells and a bench and am working out downstairs next to the pool table. On the days I didn't lift at the gym I went to a McDonalds and talked with the other retirees.
It has caused me to alter my routine but I'm dealing with it.

The people running that job site deserve a finger in the eye. No precautions?? Damn that's bullshit. Good luck to you, hope you get square soon..
I live in an age restricted community 55+, many resident are 80 +, and 90+. I was just out to the hardware store most of the people are practing in social distancing.
They use to call old age the Golden Years, I know why Doctors take your saved Gold.
Yes their are a lot of Seniors with under lineing health conditions. But today in the USA there are a lot of the younger generation are ignoring their health, they do not excercise, or eat properly.
Diabetes is on the rise in the younger generation, when I was young a XL size shirt was about the largest sixe you could buy. Today' a XXXXXL is not unusual to find for sale.
Diabetics can look forward to heart disease, stroke, loosing vision, and Dyalisis if you do not get your act together.
Think I kidding about people go to Wal - Mart were the America shop. I like to joke with my weight loss coach at the VA. I know what not to eat, I go to Wal - Mart, find a Big Person in grocery section, looking at what they buy. I don't buy that s***.
BTW I made a life style change, lost almost 38 pounds. I am not I a diet, I change how I eat.:wink:
So sad to read how this virus affect our lifes. I’m not logging on very often anymore, but despite it’s sadness it was nice to read this thread and see how the pool community care for each other.
Stu, please, get some friends to do your shopping for you for the next couple of weeks. Stay away from places with many people.
Here in Norway we are testing a lot, and have few deaths. The country is almost in full lockdown now, business is hurting big and people are being laid off. Luckily we have a large national fund and are willing to spend some of it now, so hopefully that will reduce the damages.
Listen to the advices from the medical authorites. Wash your hands, stay away from large groups of people.
To stay at home for 14 days being bored is a better option than go out and accidentally spread the virus to someone with underlying conditions who might not get to live another 14 days.

Hope you and yours recover. But, this is not an economic meltdown. The economy was strong. This is a virus, a medical emergency. What the Congress is deciding on, is not a stimulus. The economy did not need to be stimulated. It is a virus, a medical emergency.
It came from China, where food preparation standards are apparently non-existent. A lot of people visiting China, and apparently South Korea, brought it here. It's what we have.
Our economy is the strongest that it's ever been, though we could debate about the boom years of the 1950s. This is a virus, spread by people who are nonchalant, don't think they're vulnerable, used to traveling, etc.
Be safe, be healthy. But don't go near other people for the time being.
All the best,

Hi Chris,
I’m sitting at home waiting it out. How much of a hit have I took? Not sure, all my $ is in property and what’s happening to those values isn’t clear yet. Not sure if rents will come in or not.
I’m staying home, healthy (far as I know) and playing by the rules.
I’m not worried, we are all in the same fish tank so-to-speak. Nobody’s the bad guy for not having their job anymore. It’s like the titanic-hopefully we don’t sink tho. Wait and see is my plan.
I’m confident that this isn’t the end of the world and from it the world will recover as a whole. We might lose some people along the way.
That’s my thoughts hope everyone on AZB is ok and can make it through this mess. So we can argue about pool for another 20-30 years!!!

I think one of the reasons that we are seeing a quick and higher rate of "younger" people testing positive is because the "younger" crowd is still "out and about" much more than the "older" crowd.
They are having to "force" younger people to stay inside in some places...i.e., New Orleans.
They're getting the message in L.A., much less social interaction right now. They are starting to realize they are human. My daughter is at USC and they have their own testing facility and protocol. The test is not for the meek, a long swab all the way up into the deep sinus cavity.
Eric,
Just glad you're posting here and safe - not much else to do. God forbid I go to Von's and get sneezed on.
Don't eat any bats,
Chris
