[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to swim. Lots of swimmers but the gym seemed empty while I was there. Gyms have been opened in other states for a month now and are not seeing outbreaks directly related to gyms . Don't go if you are worried. I am not ready to eat inside a restaurant but walking from front desk to pool and out felt like a risk I was willing to take. We will all need to decide for ourselves but with no treatment or vaccine, we may have to accept we will most likely get it unless you never leave your home. I am anxious to see how the virus spreads with all these protests.

In March, I remember Fauci saying we were all going to get it but we need to flatten the curve. It all made sense to me and I assumed the area under the curve was the same. Obviously I do not want to be sick or have a family member get sick, but this may be our new life. We are a very entitled society who expect medical experts to fix everything. I hope a vaccine occurs but can't wait to read how no one wants to get the vaccine because of possible unknown side effects. I would expect cases to increase once we open and have more testing available. Not sure why everyone thinks we could just get rid of it.

Medicine has done a great job at extending our lifespans but it really can't fix everything. I do not feel confident a proven vaccine will be available soon. I am more hoping that treatments become available and the virus mutates so it is not as deadly. I am also one of those people that believes it is much more widespread than we think which makes death rate lower. This is one of the few diseases we now are testing asympomatic cases 'just to to see'. I know some surgeons do blood work before procedures to check for hepatitis, HIV, diabetes, etc  we don't usually just test people to see if they have a flu virus or cold virus with no symptoms. I had a surgery last year and no blood work was done at all. I am in my late 40s and haven't had blood work done in five years. I do think I need to get things checked and was surprised it wasn't ordered. I had general. I consider myself healthy but who knows...I think I need to go get some blood work done now:)[/quote]

I get tested for HIV/STIs and screened for diabetes and hypertension annually although I'm otherwise asymptomatic. This is pretty standard practice. [/quote]
