Socializing What are your guy's takes on gaming during a corona outbreak?

[Zanardi]

I was at a very big private party about a week ago where I kissed 2 girls, and had sex with another one. I've tasted other people's drinks etc.

On one hand, it was foolish. But on the other hand, I guess it was an awesome party!

Keep us updated about the coronavirus.

Best to focus on health/fitness and other projects during this time

Agree. I'll post some online courses for my Uni, play some games, daygame 2-3 times per week...

 

[Mr.Rob]

For someone like me who has never tried approaching during the day why even bother daygaming at this current time especially since i've never had sucess doing it

Or you might find day game is super easy during this time because the few girls out side haven't flirted with a guy in weeks... Maybe it will be the perfect time to get better at day game.

Always try to see the opportunity rather than the scarcity my friend.

Indeed. This is completely anecdotal and I have no real evidence to support it, but I seem to be getting more IOIs from women out on the street and in grocery stores than normal. Will see if I can capitalize as the social isolation gets worse.

As far as I know it can cause permanent damage to the lungs even if you are young. People take this far too lightly.

And potentially cause damage in the balls as well. Absolutely correct we take this too lightly, i went from being totally cool with it, but then read about people that recovered getting reinfected and the long term issues it cause, and now i'm paranoid as fuck. Inb4 tinfoil hat but i dont believe we are getting the full story about the gravity of the virus and situation in general either.

"While this link is yet to be proven [...] The researchers added: “It is theoretically speculated that"

in other words, KJ.

Also there is nothing about this crap causing permanent lunge damage. It causes lung damage yeah, but so does smoking.

or does it...

Lots of helpful comments above. I'm not very worried about if I get the virus - I'm young and in good shape so I'll survive / kick the thing pretty quickly. I'd likely just quarantine myself and stay home if I suspected that I'm showing symptoms. I've been studying the virus for hours today and this is the conclusion I reached.

So, that in mind, most people I'm seeing out in night game and most of the women I'm going for (21-32) aren't in life threatening danger. There's still a good number of people going out since it's the weekend before St. Patrick's day. In few weeks / a month from now... that could be different.

Yet, if that is the case, let's consider this: the girls that are going out who want dick, will really want dick. Just like girls at the club on rainy nights / when there's bad weather. They're out for a purpose if they're disregarding all that to go find a certain something....

The virus has likely mutated, and many young people are getting very sick, and even dying in Italy.

And for perspective... 1.25 million people die in car accidents every year.

I cancelled my trip to Mexico. It's only a matter of time before they close that border as well. I'd rather be stuck with my family in a small town with clean drinking water. When this all blows over I'll take my airline credit and go nomad somewhere. What a pain in the ass. Part of me thinks this is some massive social experiment by the global elite, like a test run, just to get us all functioning like good automatons.

For some reason, it starts seeming more like it. I am actually playing with the idea.

And I am not known for being of the paranoid kind who usually believes in conspiracy theories.

Pain in the ass > paranoid

No reason to be paranoid, but it's good to be wary. Here is another link about permanent lung damage. Lungs could lose 20-30 percent of lung function even after full recovery according to Hong Kong doctors.

Some people who recover from the coronavirus might be left with '20 to 30%' less lung function, and gasping for breath when they walk quickly, Hong Kong doctors said

The Hong Kong Hospital Authority made the discovery after observing the first wave of discharged patients in the city.

However I suspect that a lot of us are going to contract the virus anyway. The Chinese might have controlled it, but I don't believe every government will be as effective.

from your link

10 out of the 12 patients (which is an extremely small sample size to draw any conclusions from in the first place) they studied did not suffer any damage to their lunges whatsoever. The doctor then goes on to recommend what the 2 patients who were affected can do to get their lunges back to its default state: cardio (I would include eating healthy (namely foods rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E) and weightlifting)....which is what you should already be doing.

For what it's worth, I have an education (doctorate degree) in infectious disease. There is no evidence that this virus is engineered in some lab in Wuhan or elsewhere, as we have seen some people allege online. There would be evidence of that in the RNA, which has already been sequenced. There is no reason to think this is anything other than a new Coronavirus strain that jumped from animal to human in one of those bizarre Chinese meat markets, as has happened before with the first SARS strain.

I train 5 days a week for 2 hours a day with a combination of MMA, weightlifting and circuit training. Also I basically avoid any kind of junk food. I have my health very covered.

I get that an "n" of 12 is a very low sample size. And 2 out 12 people with permanent damage makes the odds greatly lower, which is a good thing.

"While it’s too early to establish long-term effects of the disease, scans of nine patients’ lungs “found patterns similar to frosted glass in all of them, suggesting there was organ damage". This is 9 out of 12.

At this phase this is what we got, or what those doctors had as a sample. Even then, this is contrary to your assumption that there is nothing about permanent lung damage "crap".

Velasco I greatly respect your knowledge of game. In that clearly you are a superior source. However I am not going to throw the knowledge of so many experts into the wind or policymakers who are now making biljons of costs in order to fight the spread of this disease.

Then you have nothing to worry about

Permanent (adj) -

1. Lasting or remaining without essential change.
2. Not expected to change in status, condition, or place:

"Tsang added, however, that patients can do cardiovascular exercises, like swimming, the improve their lung capacity over time".

Now you're just arguing semantics. You can very well lose your natural max capacity, but still improve the potential you still have left. In other words improve the 70 or so percent of lung function that is left, but the rest of that potential is gone. That is the message the doctor is conveying.

Please note:

The other doctor here uses the word "irreversable". Sounds pretty permanent to me.

Bro lets just agree to disagree. We are not going to convince eachother. And we don't need to.

 

[Velasco]

improve the 70 or so percent of lung function that is left, but the rest of that potential is gone.

Using your number, that would bring your lungs back to functioning at 94% efficiency (100% - (0.70 * 0.20))

If permanently losing 6% of your lung's full potential is really that important to you (not that you will even notice it), then I guess you are right to be upset over it. And this is of course, assuming you are one of the 16% (2/12) of guys who did suffer damage to their lungs in the first place (if I was really curious, I might want to look up why, did the other 10 patients not suffer any damage to their lungs. and what those 2 patients who did, have in common. Maybe pre-existing conditions that made them vulnerable to getting their lungs damaged? Age? Gender? family history?)

Please note:

An autopsy carried out by a forensic specialist on an 85-year-old victim showed that his lungs had been significantly damaged by the fatal condition.

Are YOU an 85 year old man with an extremely weak immune system lol?

 

[DarkKnight]

Velasco I'm gettin tired of this drawn out conversation. You're the one who claimed the potential for permanent damage is crap. Now that argument has already been refuted. In one above post you are even insinuating that smoking may perhaps not lead to an increased chance of cancer. This I cannot take seriously, nor will I. I'm done debating this.

So as of tomorrow, all bars and nightclubs in NYC will be shutdown.

I cancelled my trip to Mexico. It's only a matter of time before they close that border as well. I'd rather be stuck with my family in a small town with clean drinking water.

I think it is a way for the elites to create economic problems, blame Trump for it, and make way for a corrupt Democrat (Biden) to become president.

In my state too. I'm using this as a perfect excuse to go straight for the "dinner at my place" date with a couple of leads I have. One has already agreed. The other might agree with a little persistence/charm.

My town has a curfew of 9 pm to 6 am, just crazy shit!
