Friend's sister was in the hospital being treated for depression. No visitors due to the pandemic. After she became ill and died, he received her in a sealed body bag, marked "Possible Covid". The hospital never tested her. He had to bury her in that bag, without ever seeing her for the last time.


Treated for depression and died? Was it suicide? Or did she get sick with something else in the hospital?

If you go into a hospital for a non-fatal condition and die, I don’t think you can legally escape declaring a cause of death.

Virus vs depression. I suffer from depression so that's why I pretty much quarantine myself. I still do a lot, currently biking around Pensacola but maintaining social distance. For somebody like me to get the virus would be scary. The depths of depression I would be in with a virus would be scary.

She became ill in the hospital, and died two weeks later. Probably Covid, but the hospital never tested her to confirm whether she had it.

Cuomo has announced gyms can re-open in a week. At 33% capacity, which is of course a total sham. I can't wait for the gym owner to decide what full capacity is..... And... not making this up...... YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES!!!!!!!!

Now, I am not an 'anti-masker', and wear one whenever required without batting an eye. But I do not like them, and do feel somewhat restricted breathing through them like I have my entire career. But the thought of running on a treadmill with one on is just a no-go for me. It would be a disgusting sweaty rag in a few minutes.

Maybe it is just me, but is there anyone here that would go to a gym to workout if you had to wear a mask the entire time?

Maybe a cup style mask where only the edges touch the face. But I haven't tried it.

I sure as hell would.

Gyms still closed here in MI with no reopening in sight.

I’ll be in Vegas this weekend. Seriously considering working out while on vacation (something I NEVER do. Vacation is no time for exercise!!).

I have never considered going to a gym my entire life.
Get outside and get active.
I bike, play golf, do a lot of walking outside, Nintendo ring fit adventure (yes I have plenty of room in the RV to play)

In Nevada they are using the maximum capacity as set by the fire department.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.
