This is true, but most of it is still largely speculative and based on small data samples. It's no different to any other large scale event that gets widespread media coverage (Brexit negotiations, occupation of Iraq, Harvey Weinstein trial etc.) News outlets jump on any nugget they can find. This has been amplified with coronavirus because there's a distinct lack of other news taking place worth reporting

I done 35 days straight no beer, probably had 6 beers since then between 18th april - 9th May .Blood pressure plummeted to normal.
One thing I will say from all this there is more to life than spending shit loads on getting plastered. I don't miss the hangovers. Shame it took a pandemic for me to change the way of thinking

Day 6 for me ?
Yeah this is very bad news for the herd immunity theory even if its possible it can take half a decade. Spain got hit hard the first time and those numbers are super low. I got healthy 5-6 weeks ago but are having the same symptoms today again.
Starting to think this will be around for a long time. Will be a society before corona and after corona. WHO started hinting this a few days ago sadly.

So depressing but this is our life now?
What symptoms are you having out of interest?
Hope you feel better soon
Fever, fatigue, muscle aches, pain in the lower part of the throat. Virus seems latent and can blossom out. Hopefully, it will go back for me. But some had this for months and a lot worse so shouldn't complain. But I won't go out much more again. It mainly feels bad that I could infect others.
Thought I was okay and things could return to relative normal. Vacation for my part will be canceled now.

If those stats are true, then does it show that social distancing / lockdown does not work, or at least it would take too long too work.
Gyms being closed is annoying me, if shops can limit numbers then so can gyms.
It could confidently be argued that gyms are an essential service, not only for mental health but physical health which directly reduce certain risk factors of catching/surviving corona and other diseases.

.
people picking up and putting down groceries / things in a supermarket or shop is surely the same risk as people picking up and putting down gym equipment..only difference is gym equipment is more likely to be cleaned after or before use. Absolutely agree with you there

aren't you exhaling much harder (and thus further) in a gym when working out compared to walking through the supermarket?

Fingers crossed your symptoms won't get worse and you won't have it for long...
Nasty virus
Yes stay in, isolate and rest plenty

One way to look at it, still more often then not theres more space to distance in gyms especially if you had to maybe book a slot or only let certain age groups in at one time or something..I personally think there is ways around it

Not really buying those articles yet about herd immunity percentages. Havent seen a single trustable large scale sample test yet.
And off course it will be around for a long time, but we will not live like this for a long time. There will be a society with corona, not before and after unless after means after there is a vaccin. No country can keep us the current measures for much longer. We'll have to adjust some basic life rules and start to get used to living with the risk of catching this virus. Just as we did with other viruses, HIV, the risk of traffic accidents when driving, the risk of living. Life goes on, even with covid19 as one of the risks in life.

Seen a few photos and videos of San An and the sea looks really blue, greenery looking vibrant etc know filters can be deceptive and im missing Ibiza so much that i'm probably adding my own mental filter too!
A bit of recovery time for the planet might be one of the only benefits of this pandemic.

yeah, but ibiza always looks like that in may to be perfectly honest. the balearics usually get a lot of rain in april (it's raining today too) and it's not that hot yet which makes may one of the lushest months in terms of colors always. by july it gets too dry and then it starts turing dusty.

Well several different countries have posted similar results of ~3% - 10% for general population and up to around 20% for hard hit areas. So the indicators are not good for getting the approx 80% for herd immunity.
Of course there is potential 40% that are asymptomatic and don't develop antibodies so might not be included in those results. (But they probs have no immunity either)
