I have always thought of bigmuscle.com as a hookup site for gay musclemen or people who are into gay musclemen. There are plenty of youngish guys, but I would say more of them are middle-aged and older.

You cant. Some are comfortable with the risk. Just lIke some were comfortable with bareback sex before truvada

At least some anabolic steroids enhance the immune response. But a healthy immune response, at least initially, isn't much good against a pathogen it has never encountered.m

The CDC refers to AIDS as a pandemic.

I don't see how it would make a difference. When you're staying in a hotel/motel, AFAIK it is perfectly permissible to have guests in your room. They don't care what you're doing unless its seriously illegal.

They're not actually into all those things. Just casting a wide net.

I like logical well constructed arguments.

There are some amazing guys on IG, who have actually approached me. The conversation takes a very predictable path - almost as though they are reading from the same script. First they follow me, and when I follow back, they message and, ask if I'm gay, and then ask "Tell me about yourself." After a few minutes they ask if I can help them out. That's when they ask for the cash. The first time it happened, I was taken aback. Now I think it's fun. It amazes me though that they want to paid for ten minutes of flirting and dirty talk. it occurred to me the other day that they might all be bots.

Agree completely. It seemed your premise could have been better stated

I appreciate it.

Not surprising. Canadians can think. And they still have a functioning government.

We have an idea. The statisticians tell us that if lockdown had started one week earlier, there would have been 36000 fewer deaths. If lockdown had started two weeks earlier, there would have been 85000 fewer deaths.

Huh, funny . . . pseudoscience is often used that way too.

What is the real world and what are real married people? It seems that the premise of your remark is that gay married couples who may have found an unconventional way to manage their joint finances aren't real married couples.

Agreed. But it should be restarted in a smart way, without gangs of armed militia, fudging or suppression of public health data, and full recognition of the fact that coronavirus is a profoundly infectious agent and that being stupid about things will only put the nation back into lockdown.

I will. I'm reminded of a book title- "Survival of the Wisest."

That may be true, but 100,000 deaths is 100,000 deaths. Within the space of a few weeks, anyone would agree that that is a singular event.

It can run as long as the virus can find hosts to infect. There are more than a few professionals who think this will be an "event" several years in duration. You just said upthread that the pandemic is likely to be recurring. And you're in good company. Many public health professionals think so too.

If you stick with it for even a couple weeks it will start to feel a lot better- 3 or 4 times a week.

Just wait. In mid-March, Alabamans were pretty smug about their numbers and the fact that what was good for large urban centers lie NYC wasn't applicable to Alabamans. Now, Alabama is a hot spot.

I don' t know how to link to content on IG, but the link below is for the profile of my favorite guy on IG. I do one of his workouts nearly every day. https://www.instagram.com/_joeandrews/

One doesnt "catch" heart disease simply by talking to somebody else with heart disease for a few minutes. False equivalence.

And even people who don't need to be hospitalized say that the illness was a mofo, something they never want to go through again.

That's what we're doing too.

Maybe they're lucky. Time will tell. I'm a gym fanatic, but I'll let somebody else be the canary. A gym I occasionally go to in another part of the state sent me their plans for reopening. I think I might I might feel comfortable there: wipes and hand sanitizer at every piece of equipment, temp and symptom checks on entry, air scrubbers with UV, extra cleaning crew, no showers or lockers, no spotting, maximum class sizes, maximum total occupancy, total pieces of equipment reduced to allow social distancing, the list just went on. Who's going to pay for all that? Going to the gym will become a luxury pursuit.
