I live in CT about an hour from NYC.
From the replies, staying away from the gym seems like the responsible thing to do right now.

I live in a socialist bubble city so yeah I trust them enough to follow their instructions, lol.
I would say yes. You can do a lot of exercises without the benefit of weights, not sure what your routine is however.
I wonder how many times Trump has asked why we can't just firebomb COVID-19 like we did the Motaba virus?
I am getting increasingly worried about A) my upcoming wedding and B) our planned honeymoon (which is already paid for). We have tickets to goto Anaheim, goto Disneyland and the beach. I am starting to really think that we need to cancel or it is going to get cancelled by Disneyland soon. I have no doubt they will refund us, but the plane tickets, hotels, etc I am getting more worried about. Any ideas on what to do?
Definitely not enough. It's kind of strange here in Seattle. While many people are definitely staying home from work, nothing else is actively being done. Still not sure why my kids are in school right now. I understand playing it safe but everything seems to be inevitably getting worse.

Up to you.
I'm still going in London. Who knows when this will end? I can't not exercise.
If everyone else avoid the gym and you're by yourself I'd still go. Maybe it's not at that point yet but I think it'll get close.
The problem with all of us waiting for a local case before we start isolating is, some of us will be that case. We'll get the ball rolling for our friends and neighbours.
I was actually wondering about this. Couldn't a person in theory sue another person for giving them the coronavirus in the U.S. Since we like to pretend healthcare is a private matter rather than a public one. What is stopping someone for suing other people for getting them sick? Just shows how completely fucking stupid the U.S. healthcare system is.
Bare minimum the ban on large gatherings here in WA should be statewide. That is what proactive means, you don't wait for things to get bad in those areas before you take action.
My office just had us cancel the convention we were going to attend this weekend and we're supposed to exercise "extreme judgement" for any social events we attend both professionally and personally until further notice.
University of Washington Medical is imposing new visitation rules for patients at UWMC, Harborview, Valley Medical, etc. Looks like my wife will be able to be there and stay with me, but that's it. One visitor per patient.
hmmm i see both sides of this of yes and no.
i've been going for the past few weeks and the staff have been more diligent cleaning down stations when no one is using that station. because, face it, a LOT of people dont clean the station after they use it. With that in mind, you should always have been wiping Before and After using equipment. should have been a normal habit if worried about catching colds/flu. so i think if you do this now, then you're already keeping yourself away from germs as such.
if you never have and your gym is really busy, dont go. your mind will be too distracted and your gym time will be wasted.
Why is The SHRM conference in San Diego not cancelled for June. Ridiculous.
thousands of people all gathered together in a hotel no fkn thank you. Ridiculous.

My office seems to have adopted the "lets wait for the first person to get sick and it's too late" approach to work from home. We are extremely well equipped for remote work and our industry is very well suited to work from home. Why we are putting peoples lives at risk so we can still have in person meetings instead of webex meetings is beyond me.
More tests yield more results? You really have to compare it to how many tests were done to get an accurate picture.
Like, I'm convinced it's much more prevalent in the US than the numbers currently show, and it isn't some stupid conspiracy of the Idiot Administration to keep numbers low to look good. It's just that they are so incompetent in terms of being ready to handle any of this that we don't have the testing capacity actually needed.
Cleveland, OH here; the St. Patricks Day Parade has been cancelled today, and I heard through the grapevine that University Hospitals, one of NE Ohio's largest hospital system, is suspending any events for the next 90 days.
I think thats probably the most shocking news as in my head i was kind of thinking, oh this might all blow over in a month or so, but...i mean, I don't know how long we're looking at here.

Who knows. I'm still going but am diligently washing my hands and avoiding touching my face. I bought a yoga mat so I can start working out at home, however. Considering switching over next week if things keep getting worse.
My partner's office is doing the same thing and it's infuriating. They all have laptops and they all can work from home...but they aren't.
I'm going home as soon as my school officially moves classes online, but they're still dragging their feet despite a case in the county
Problem is that home is close to Tampa, and March Madness/Wrestlemania are still planned.
Feels like I'm kinda just fucked either way

With the coronavirus outbreak, hospitals must take additional precautions, says healthcare system's president.

I knew this was coming, but fuuuuck.
One of the key factors here is how variable of an incubation time it has, and how long people are actually contagious even if they're asymptomatic.
Yeah US testing needs to be a lot higher than it currently is.
My mother in-law is a huge germophobe and has a cache of hand sanitizer, she sent us a care package yesterday. In the meantime we were able to snag some pocket-bac from bath and body works but it has glitter in it. Better than nothing though!
I think a dentist visit isn't a huge deal. Solo or small meetings in controlled environments, in my opinion, are not worth avoiding yet.
Tests are not new cases, they are discovered cases, and every time a new case is discovered, you should imagine that one new person has been in contact with at least one other person, who is yet to be discovered.
And that person is interacting with at least one more, until they are discovered. And so on, and so on, and so on.
And some people get symptoms so mild they can interact with people for the full 14 days as an incubator. And never become a statistic. Until the people they infected become a discovered cases, but now it is impossible to source back to an origin.
This is already a huge mess everywhere :(

go get your teeth filled. Don't want a toothache in the middle of a crises when your office is closed down.
So is it possible to just go about your day for 14 days as a carrier and show no symptoms whatsoever? Genuinely curious if somebody could contract it, stroll around like normal, and then be done with it while infected many people.
I would go unless you are in an area with a lot of cases. If you avoid it nowyou may later regret it if it starts to hurt. I hate the dentist too and I would go.
I'd get that sorted out ASAP. In a few weeks you might have appalling toothache and the dentist will be a far greater risk by then.
Yes. Apparently approx 50% of people aren't showing symptoms.
Yes. Or have symptoms that lead someone to believe, "Eh, this is just a mild cold."

To the three of you that responded to me ... I'm not sure if that makes me feel any better or any worse.
Edit: I'd like to see my parents again ... but being a potential phantom carrier is a horrible thing to reconcile with mentally. Maybe we'll be at a point where testing is readily available globally?

I'm so happy I started my anxiety medication a month ago.
