Coronavirus Closures

[Eggman]

Damn. All the bars, restaurants and gyms in DC have been ordered closed. I assume this is happening all over the USA?

[+ keroscenefire]

Yeah..happened in Denver. Restaurants can still do take out and delivery but that's it.

Same in nyc, nj, and ct. All those “coronavirus won’t stop us” posts on IG over the weekend didn’t age well.

California is heading in that direction....

In Las Vegas, the Wynn and MGM casino hotels have all closed temporarily. No word yet on Caesars and other casinos on the Strip. The Strip casinos have never closed before, not for 9/11, the Great Recession, or any other reason. I don't think the Fremont Street casinos even closed for the World Wars (the Strip casinos were all built after WWII).

Dallas: Eateries, bars, clubs, theaters, gyms, closed-confined spaces... As of midnight tonight, all closed until further notice.

 

It's the cities who are saying 'we haven't had a reported case and are fine with using wipes on doorknobs' that are the problem. They think it won't happen to them. It will. That's how a pandemic works.

 

We need to slow people down now.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this show.

George Washington University in DC has told the students not to come back after spring break, the rest of the semester will be taught online. And they've cancelled graduation. The Naval Academy hasn't gone that far yet, but my son will be home for an extra two weeks and they've hinted graduation may not happen.

 

My older son's girlfriend who's at GW Law says the rumor is that everyone has to leaved the dorms because they may be needed for overflow of the hospital.

[Eggman]

Old GW grad here. Hard to imagine the dorms being used for hospital overflow. Sad.

I stopped going to the gym 2 weeks ago. It'll be interesting to see if my monthly payment is automatically deducted from my account depending on how long they're closed.

If you didn't put a freeze on it, they can (contractually) still bill you.

 

Be proactive. Never wait for someone else to make the first move, especially when it comes to your money

In DC, Sport and Health notified members that it is reimbursing for the time paid for during the gym closure.

Here at our "active adult" community, there is a small gym in the community center, and there are rarely more than one or two people in it at any one time. I went to it last Friday, and there were eight people! I'm sure they were trying to avoid the dangers of the commercial gyms they usually go to, but there was less social distancing here than at World Gym. My spouse usually uses the treadmill and stationary bike at the gym here, but now it feels so crowded that he is going to stay away and just take long walks instead.

No gym ...time to dig the old Wii Fit out of the attic. Our restaurants and bars in LA officially closed last night..I need to go to the market I am hoping the. crazed crowds have died down. How crazy is this shit?

The French Open Tennis Tournament is postponed until late September early October 2020.

 

The tournament takes place in Paris.

If and when this is over there will be an explosion of events taking place. Should be interesting times.
