No way. I walk about 4 miles per day outside and could not imagine doing it with a mask. Sounds like a Cuomo idea. OTOH, bu this time of the year gyms are down to low numbers so that capacity thing might work out. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 217 Posts: 22942 | I have a nephew going off to a military academy for college. They solved the viral problem by requiring all incoming students to quarantine for 14 days before arriving. His entire family is doing it with him before he leaves home. They live rather remotely in NH. Since it is run somewhat like the military, especially for freshmen, I believe the whole first year is total lockdown. Classes and campus life only. They take all cell phones away. I wouldn't be surprised if you get sent home for the entire year if you show up with covid. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Which academy? (But, yeah the military is pretty strict about COVID-19, right now if you ever tested positive you are barred from joining for life, that will probably change eventually as it becomes more controlled, but right now it is considered a permanent disqualifier). Honestly though, this may be a good year to join a military academy, as PT standards and mass formations are going to be far more limited (so I would imagine far less opportunities to be hazed as a freshman). |

That is interesting, I would imagine the winters are rough in Vermont. I never realized that is where ROTC originated. |

Never heard of it. I have toured Annapolis and the Academy for the Coast guard in New London, CT. I hope your son or daughter enjoys the experience. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

Its shocking that they think Fauci is a criminal. Yea Doctors almost always have bad news. It is what it is. With this virus, yea , all the news is bad. It's like Trumpers cant deal with negative news during his administration and automatically brand Fauci a criminal. The disconnect from reality is stunning when you see it in real life rather then in cyberspace. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Heck, if Trump appointed Roger Stone to head the Corona Virus task force I wouldn't actually be too stunned at this point. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |
