Exercise is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health. Among other benefits, regulating physical activity can have a positive effect on your immune system. Exercise increases the activity of certain immune cells called helper T cells, making the immune system response to viruses more robust.

This is particularly relevant now that we are experiencing an outbreak of a novel coronavirus that can lead to a disease called COVID-19 which causes respiratory symptoms similar to the seasonal flu but can progress to more serious conditions like pneumonia. As the virus spreads, more and more infections, hospitalizations and deaths are counted each day in the U.S. and around the world. At this point, it is reasonable to expect that COVID-19 is spreading in our community, so we should all take steps to protect ourselves from infection and do what we can to reduce the risk of serious illness.

Smart advice from the CDC includes avoiding close contact with people who are sick since COVID-19 can be spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The CDC also advises avoiding large crowds where the virus may spread more easily. In fact, many events and gatherings including concerts, sports, meetings and church services have been canceled and some schools are closed. When you are out in public, try to keep a three- to six-foot distance between yourself and others and replace handshakes and hugs with a friendly elbow bump.

The virus can also spread through surfaces, so you can also protect yourself by washing your hands frequently with soap and water and not touching your eyes, nose or mouth. If soap and water is not available, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol is a good alternative. The CDC does not recommend wearing a mask or gloves to protect yourself unless you are sick or are caring for someone who is sick.

Good nutrition is also important for optimal immune system function. Deficiencies of certain nutrients can have a negative effect on immune function, so eating a balanced diet is essential. That said, there is no support for boosting the immune system by taking high doses of vitamins, minerals or other supplements, despite the claims made by supplement companies. In fact, the majority of nutritional supplements have not undergone appropriate testing, and for those supplements that have been tested, the results are not consistent with the claims. It is especially important to note that there are no foods, nutrients or supplements that are effective against specific viruses, including the COVID-19 virus. Any claims that a certain supplement can prevent COVID-19 are false!

Poor sleep habits are associated with suppressed immunity and more frequent illness. High levels of stress can also increase susceptibility to viruses. Stress and poor sleep habits tend to occur together, creating a double negative effect on the immune system. Getting enough sleep should always be a priority, especially now.

A couple of final notes about exercise and the immune system. While moderate exercise can boost the immune system, very vigorous and prolonged exercise can have the opposite effect. You may wonder if it is safe to go to the gym to work out. The COVID-19 virus isnt spread through sweat, but, like any virus, it can be spread through the air and surfaces by infected people, especially in a crowded gym or exercise class. Washing your hands, not touching your face and making sure to wipe down equipment, including weights, is important. That said, this would be a good time to exercise outdoors where the risk of viral spread is lower, and you can get the benefits of exercising in the fresh air and sunshine!

HEALTH AND FITNESS: Exercise and your immune system - Aiken Standard

For nearly five years, New Yorker Amanda Croce has broken a sweat about six times a week at a fitness class. Her preferred instructor is Akin Akman, a former pro tennis player and SoulCycle instructor and now co-founder of AARMY, a boutique fitness program in New York and Los Angeles, launched in 2019. Akman, with his signature deep voice and floppy hair, is among New Yorks top fitness celebrities, a sweat guru who is known as both a trainer and a motivational speaker. As Akin says, there are only good days or great days, Croce said.

But with the coronavirus impacting every aspect of daily life around the world, Croce said goodbye to her regular gym habits as classes shut down and social distancing became the norm for most individuals and businesses attempting to curb the viruss spread and abide by government bans on group gatherings. So on Monday, while socially isolated with her family in Connecticut, Croce opened up her phone to an Instagram Live and started streaming a bootcamp workout led by Akman instead. Its just one of a number of fitness programs and influencers pivoting to remote workouts, and in just under a week, its well on the way to becoming a new normal.

Across the board, virtual workout options have been popping up, from individual trainers offering free classes to studios organizing digital schedules. Check out fitness Instagram or YouTube and youll be bombarded with free content from instructors with avid followings: Rumble Boxings Noah Neiman has a bag-free workout; trainer Jen Selter live-streamed a mat class; Taryn Toomey is offering free at-home version of The Class; Australias super-influencer Kayla Itsines adjusted the routines on her popular program to be home-friendly. Most programs, from Physique 57 to Barrys Bootcamp to Orangetheory, have new free online options from official accounts and popular trainers individually not to mention widely-subscribed preexisting digital programs from Peloton and Nike Training Club.

Croce didnt have any gym equipment, just an old yoga mat thoroughly scratched up by her cat, and a few bricks and bottles of Chardonnay her mom offered her as weights. Still, she came away from the workout buoyant. Everyone was in the same spirit and cheering each other on, even though its through Instagram comments, she said.

Like most other gyms and fitness studios, AARMY closed training centers in New York and Los Angeles over the weekend, prioritizing health and safety in the face of the coronavirus threat, calling it a necessary measure in public statements. But Akman, co-founder and CEO Trey Laird and fellow celebrity trainer Angela Davis decided to take their classes online for the first time, delivering free, live-streamed cycling, bootcamp and specialized workout sessions over social media nearly hourly, starting on Monday, for the foreseeable future.

They are just one group going remote. And theyre reaching bigger audiences: in the first 24 hours, over 18 thousand people had viewed the AARMY classes, according to Laird. (In person, they can host about 60 customers per session; even with each instructor leading five sessions a day, their online reach is exponentially larger.) Recouping the lost incomeclasses start at $38wasnt a consideration at this time, Laird told TIME; they just wanted to get their content out there.

While coronavirus restrictions may be keeping people home, fitness has a role to play in keeping people healthy and happy; its no secret that working out can help manage anxiety. Croce turned to AARMY and other classes to keep her motivated while training for the New York City Marathon, finding the community in particular to be a powerful support. And while thats now out of the question, the online programs are making an effort to fill the gap.

The founders of online fitness site Ob consider what they do almost health work. Katia Pryce of DanceBody calls her classes a daily escape that people are hungry for, even though the ease of an online option doesnt replace the energy vortex of human-to-human connection and the importance of supervision that can be found in her studios in New York, Miami and L.A. (Every instructor said that students should pay close attention to their own bodies and limits while practicing remotely.)

Still, the move to online-only fitness is a shift thats happening very fast. How do you prepare for this? Akman asked, calling TIME from the AARMY facility in Manhattan, to which he was still commuting for filming. Luckily for the gym, AARMY had been planning on launching a digital component this spring. Theyve just expedited the process, and skipped building out a platform to go straight to viewers with the free content. It feels like a time in the world when you just need to put things out to be helpful and positive and inspiring, he said. Clearly, thats hit a nerve: theyve had viewers from countries as far as Spain and Tunisia. Its a nice surprise to see the world connected in a time thats so difficult, Akman added. The experience of the classes is pretty raw, just the instructor in an empty studio shouting encouragement at the screen, and sometimes responding directly to commenters, many of whom hes coached for years.

Spotlight Story

In the Wake of the Coronavirus, Here's Why Americans Are Hoarding Toilet Paper

Our panic buying represents one thing we can control

I started the class grumpy and alone, not wanting to do it, and not feeling accountable. But then it really felt like I was being held accountable, Croce said. The energy coming from the coaches was huge. The message of resilience and getting through tough times and getting through a challenge: thats something we all can use.

While AARMY has had to jump quickly into a new paradigm, some platforms were built for this from the beginning. Entertainment publicity pros Mark Mullett and Ashley Mills launched Ob, an online-only fitness streaming platform, in 2018. It has classes across four categories taught by celebrity instructors, all filmed in their New York studio and capped at 28 minutes. Inspired by the Jane-Fonda-style workouts of eras past, their goal has been to replicate the joy of early exercise videos; the contemporary twist is lighting reminiscent of the works of James Turrell. It had already struck a chord with millennials seeking a sleekly designed remote fitness experience, but amid the coronavirus their services are well-adapted for the moment.

Were very agile from a production and content perspective, Mills told TIME. When she was stuck at home over the weekend with her infant and a five-year-old, she realized they needed to put together kids programming. Within days, they had licensed music from Kidz Bop and released child-friendly exercise videos. And noticing a senior relative also struggling to find fitness options, they mobilized to put out senior workouts by the end of the week, with gentle activities that can be done while seated or with limited range of motion.

Movement right now is not only going to keep us sane, its going to keep our bodies healthy and help with our immunity, Mills said. We feel empowered, we feel of service. Its a terrible situation were all in, but we feel very equipped to serve people in the way that they need it. People are responding: Mullett said they were getting thousands of new viewers daily. Trust us, we wish we were on the phone with you under different circumstances, he said. But if youre looking for silver linings, the fact that people are trying something new and looking inward is pretty interesting.

Still, adapting to this new reality can be exhausting. Professional dancer Katia Pryce founded DanceBody in 2013 and has been a star instructor ever since, with an Instagram following over 35,000. Students turn to her and DanceBody for cardio that mixes fun choreography with a serious workout. (And hit music: she licenses top songs for her dances.)

As her responsibilities as an executive have grown in the past few years, Pryce whittled down her active dancing hours to just a few per day. But now shes broadcasting six to seven live hour-long classes per day, after shutting down her studios for quarantine. Were gonna get really ripped this month! she told TIME. Pryce had freshened up her livestream service with a new app in January, so this timing was actually kind of perfect, she said. Still, its not exactly a dollar for dollar exchange; everyone understands that. Theres a million things online. She called this moment an anxiety diet for small business owners like her working to stay afloat. While the conditions of her salaried employees havent changed, she isnt able to pay contract workers for hours theyre not logging.

To tide her company over, shes trying to fill a niche with specialized dance classes and private virtual sessions. The upside for her business? New dancers who wouldnt normally commit to attending an in-person class are tuning in, including older viewers and men; she estimated online viewership had gone up 30 or 40% in the first three days. Were seeing more guys getting wrangled into it, because now whoever is quarantined in your home is forced to do your workout with you, she said. Standing in front of a mirror in a bright mirror [in the studio] can be kind of intimidating. Now people are really taking the jump. Its not clear how things will shake out when things go back to normal, but for Pryce, its an opportunity to play an important role. Someone recently said to me, This is basically your Super Bowl. Were working harder than we ever have been.

Shes not alone. Akin said today in the middle of the practice, Sometimes challenges make you focus on what you should be doing,' Laird told TIME. It brings clarity, Akman said. For fitness stars and their programs, its a chance to reach new audiences and convince a quarantined and inevitably bored population to commit to new habits. Nothing will replace the community of in-person sessions, Pryce insisted. But even Croce, a class devotee, recognized the benefits of virtual workouts, even after isolation ends; she can imagine tuning in when her schedule doesnt line up with the studio. As for the instructors? We are surviving, Pryce said. But we are hopefully really close to really thriving.

Fitness Instructors Are Adapting a New Home Workout Now - TIME

With gyms closed and access to equipment limited, its hard to get a workout in these days. Luckily, there are plenty of simple exercises you can do from home that can have a positive impact on both your health and your golf game.

TPI Certified performance coach Mike Carroll shared his five favorite at-home exercises that are suitable for golfers of all ages and fitness levels. Even better, none of these moves require special equipment.

This is a lower-body exercise that works on mobility, stability and strength. The narrow stance will reduce your base of support and challenge your stability. In this exercise, youre primarily working your front leg, so keep the majority of your weight centered over the middle of your front foot.

Deadbugs are a great exercise for strengthening your core. You need strength in your midsection to be able to effectively transfer power from your lower body to your upper body in the golf swing. During this exercise, its incredibly important to keep your lower-back flat against the ground to ensure youre working your abs.

Theres a reason push-ups are among Joel Dahmens go-to exercises. When performed correctly, push-ups can be extremely beneficial to your overall strength and to the golf swing. To set up correctly for a push-up, place your hands beneath your shoulders and your feet shoulder-width apart. Then squeeze your core and go to the top of a plank.

Be sure to maintain a neutral spine, as demonstrated by the dowel rod on my back in the below video. Your body should move as one piece with a controlled tempo to ensure you are working the right muscles. Essentially, the push-up is a moving plank. To ensure your push-ups are using your full range of motion, your chest and hips should touch the floor on the way down.If doing push-ups is too difficult, elevate your hands onto the side of a sofa, table or counter top. The higher your hands are, the easier the push-up will be.

When you watch the pros, one of the biggest differences youll notice is how well they can separate their hips from their upper body at the start of the downswing. This separation stretches the torso muscles, loading them with power and helping your swing sequence.

During this exercise, make sure you rotate your hips while keeping your upper body still. This is a great way to improve your mobility, which is required to create that all-important separation. You should feel a big stretch in your obliques, the muscles on the sides of your midsection.

This is an excellent exercise to improve your rotation in the backswing and the flexibility of your trail shoulder. Using a golf club will assist your turn and help you go further than you would otherwise. You should feel a big stretch around the ribcage, mid-back and shoulders during this exercise. This is also a great exercise to do before you play a round or hit the range.

Perform three rounds of 5-10 reps per exercise. For the exercises where you work one side at a time, be sure to perform the exercise on both sides.

Here are five at-home exercises to improve your golf game - Golf.com

WAVY

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) With thousands of enlisted and civilian military staff on and off area bases every working day, the commander of U.S. Navy Region Mid-Atlantic explained the coronavirus pandemic is a single of the largest challenges theyve at any time confronted.

Drastic variations have been made at all 14 bases, such as the 6 in Hampton Roads, according to Rear Adm. Charles Rock.

Till even more notice, visiting excursions are suspended and only mission-vital personnel must be going on foundation.

We have instituted a no-touching plan, Rock reported in a cellphone meeting connect with Friday. Government IDs should be scanned and not handed to staff to stay clear of speak to.

When capable, personnel is inspired to telework to limit the range of personnel bodily current at perform. When at function, management is asking that the Navy actively participate in social distancing.

And clearly it is very complicated for these on a shipboard natural environment to follow social distancing, Rock mentioned.

In get to test to slow the unfold of COVID-19 at sea, Rock said clinical staff is screening all sailors as they occur aboard.

Any individual who has traveled to a region where the outbreak is much more prevalent, any person who has experienced get hold of with a man or woman who contracted COVID-19 and any one who shows signs will promptly be ordered to limit their motion.

If they dwell off-foundation, they will be demanded to self-quarantine for at the very least 14-times.

Those (on-base) sailors, we have arranged or them to go into Navy lodging facilities that meets the CDC tips for isolation, Rock mentioned. includes their have space with no shared frequent parts this sort of as a tub a kitchen area or a laundry.

A 60-day maintain sample for non-mission-crucial vacation, which contains long lasting improve of station orders, short-term and instruction responsibility.

Our priority is the security of our persons and alongside one another I know we will get by way of this really hard time, Rock reported.

Naval commander says health and fitness of personnel and army readiness continue being equally as vital in the course of pandemic - Mash Viral

Gerren Liles returned from a trip to Italy days before the country went into coronavirus lockdown earlier this month. The New York-based Equinox trainer was set to return to work after a 14-day self-quarantine on Monday.

That was the plan, at least.

Thats the day the gyms were closed, Liles told Mens Health. My expectation was that I was going to go back to work. Now, its basically like Im back on vacation.

Liles is among the more fortunate trainers, with a substantial 32.8k Instagram follower count and a solid base in the at-home fitness space as a founding trainer at Mirror, a $1,495 interactive home gym system that streams a variety of different workouts to peoples homes. But thousands of other trainers have had to pivot from one-on-one client work to video chat services like FaceTime and fitness apps to stay connected with their chargesand to keep some income coming in during this pandemic.

Our industry is one that is all about social interaction and a lot of trainers depend on their studios and gyms to train people, Liles said. A lot of trainers will want to keep their clients in the loop and this could inspire trainers to start their own digital or virtual training business, but the hustle is hard for those doing this for the first time.

At least 15 states have closed all gyms in response to the coronavirus, according to International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA). Some counties and municipalities have also moved to close all fitness facilities. Other states like Virginia and Wisconsin have limited gatherings of 10 or more people, which allows gyms to remain open for personal training only.

"The gym industry is being destroyed by this crisis."

In some unfortunate cases, those closures have already amounted to more than a temporary pause in service. There have been real ramifications already for gym employees, in the form of layoffs. IHRSA sent a letter to Congress this week requesting that the fitness industry be included in a future stimulus package to support the more than 425,000 people employed by clubs and studios.

The gym industry is being destroyed by this crisis, IHRSA spokesperson Meredith Poppler said.

Poppler was unable to provide an accurate number for how many fitness professionals are recently out of work, although gyms have quietly or publicly been laying off trainers and instructors in recent days. Anne M. Mahlum, owner and CEO of D.C.-based Solidcore, announced in an email Thursday that her chain of 72 U.S. studios will lay off 98 percent of employees, which includes 137 full-time employees, 97 part-time employees and 397 coaches. The laid off employees will be paid through the end of March.

This is a very fluid situation, added Adam Zeitsiff, president and CEO of Golds Gym, in a statement to Mens Health. Our team members are very important to us and we are doing our best to manage all aspects of our business so we can ensure our gyms are able to reopen as soon as it is safe for our community. This includes our company-owned gyms as well as our locally-owned franchise locations.

Stanley Berry is among the trainers who have gone to Twitter and Instagram to seek to build up a client base that basically disappeared when his Washington, D.C. gym shuttered for at least two weeks. (Berry asked Mens Health not to identify the gym hes worked at for the last three years.)

"I know Im not going to bring as much money because I cant charge normal rates."

A lot of people have been reaching out, Berry said. Im still kind of early, so Im not getting discouraged yet. Ive used FaceTime to introduce myself and train some people. There are lots of folks doing it already. I know Im not going to bring as much money because I cant charge normal rates.

Like many trainers who work for major gym chains, Berry is learning his existing client base is a tough sell.

Theyve already paid for their training at the gym, Berry said. They dont want to have to pay twice.

Another roadblock: gyms typically have policies that bar trainers from training their existing client base outside their workplace. A spokesperson for Life Time, which is paying its trainers at least through March 29, said that trainersother than salaried managersarent allowed to lead clients on their own for legal and liability reasons.

Displaced trainers and instructors have been quick to explore their virtual options in recent days, as have major gym chains. Planet Fitness, for example, has started to stream workouts to members, while Golds Gym has made its GOLDS AMP app free to anyone through May 31.

"I want people to keep working with their trainers or find another way to support them."

Trainerize, developer of an iOS and Android app by the same name used by gyms and trainers to set up workouts for clients, is close to agreeing on a deal that would create 1 million accounts for a major chain, the Vancouver-based companys CEO and co-founder Sharad Mohan told Mens Health. Mohan declined to specify the chain since the deal was not complete.

While nobody expected this kind of shutdown, its no surprise that gyms are seeking to shift clients to at-home workouts, Mohan said. Its natural that online training is taking off. Its always been a nice to have product for gyms to provide to clients. Its now become a must have.

Trainerize has seen steady growth over the years, but new subscriptions are currently triple the daily levels seen before March 10, according to Mohan.

As bleak as the outlook looks currently, one of the biggest names in the business offered struggling trainers some hope.

When there is something big like a Katrina or an earthquake, the gym stopped being part of the routine for some die-hard clients, Beverly Hills-based personal trainer Gunnar Peterson told Mens Health. This is a natural time to shift and make changes. If you, as a trainer, stay alert and aware, you will find that some people who werent training before will use this shutdown as a way to get their health together.

I always try to stay positive. Thats just who I am as a human being. If you lose a couple people, dont panic because youre going to get some new people. Or maybe those who stayed with you are going to bring new people.

Peterson, the director of strength and endurance for the Los Angeles Lakers, added that this is the time for trainers to be frugal and to study up.

Use this time to get better, Peterson said. Maybe you can use this time to not only create an online presence that will not just keep your income coming in but surpass what you were already making. It can open doors.

"Trainers are streaming workouts for free on Instagram and Facebook Live. Send them some money."

As many trainers take that advice and adjust to this pandemic-forced shift in their careers, Liles said hes trying to spread the word to get people to support fitness professionals, including by using crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe or via direct payments through Venmo and PayPal to offer financial assistance.

I dont want people to take what we do for granted because what we do really benefits peoples lives, Liles added. I want people to keep working with their trainers or find another way to support them. A lot of trainers are streaming workouts for free on Instagram and Facebook Live. Send them some money.

Do you want to help? Listen to Liles, and contact your favorite trainer about how you might be able to support them or others in their network who are struggling during this period. Men's Health will look to highlight as many fitness professionals as possible to support the larger fitness community as we make our way through this crisis together.

Mobile Health and Fitness Sensor Industry Value, Cost or Profit 2020-2027 Forecasts - News Times

When she heard that her university campus would be shutting down after spring break due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alexis feared her life could fall apart.

She wasnt able to afford campus housing this semester and is living instead in a nearby homeless shelter. But she depended on her schools health and fitness center for daily showers and her schools library for quiet study time.

My whole life revolves around the university, and the university is closed, said Alexis, a 34-year-old trans woman and student at the University of Eastern Michigan. (A university spokesperson told Vox that campus dining halls are still open for grab and go meals in accordance with a Monday order from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; however, other services like the health center are closed.)

When her school decided to shift to online classes, which meant finding a public space to study and attend classes, she knew that wouldnt be possible in the shelter. She also knew that other public spaces would likely soon close to promote social distancing. She worried she may have to move back home with her father, who doesnt support her transition and doesnt use her name or correct pronouns.

My relationship with my parents is not good, particularly my dad, Alexis said. My parents in general are just not very accepting of me, but [being] trans is kinda like the straw that broke the camels back.

Alexis is one of thousands of LGBTQ college students dealing with campus closures; a 2016 survey of more than 33,000 college students found that 10 percent identified as LGBTQ. But many queer students dont have a safe or supportive place to go home to while campuses struggle to manage the ongoing pandemic. When state and local health officials outlined guidance about closing down spaces where large groups gather, universities across the country were among the first to act in order to try to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, the disease stemming from coronavirus.

My whole life revolves around university, and the university is closed

On March 6, the University of Washington was the first to shut its doors, moving entirely to online classes in a region hit early in the pandemic. Since then, most schools have followed suit. But the closings disproportionately affect LGBTQ students, who are less likely in general to have supportive places to go home to.

As a queer community, we have a long way to go. Oftentimes, for our youth, that means [they have] unfriendly places to go back home to from college because at college at least maybe theyve created a community, a group of friends, a support system, said Shane Windmeyer, founder and executive director of Campus Pride. But sometimes these situations or crises happen where students are asked to go home, and sometimes they dont have a home to go to.

The collective action by institutions of higher learning has triggered a panic among many queer students who have been forced to find alternative housing, medical providers, and even employment.

One of those students was Reed Cooper, a 20-year-old junior attending DePauw University, a private college in Greencastle, Indiana. Cooper lives in on-campus housing and depends on a work-study job for income while he attends school. But the universitys decision to close meant scrambling to find basic accommodations.

There had been rumors circulating between students that our university was going to cancel classes, but it kind of blindsided all of us, he said. Originally, DePauw gave students until March 20 to clear out, but a subsequent email last Friday informed students that they would need to vacate campus by Monday, March 16. It caught everyone off-guard. (Representatives from DePauw didnt return Voxs request for comment.)

I am lucky enough to have a support system in Indianapolis, but I rely on this institution for my therapy, for medical treatment, and my whole support system is on campus, he said. There are other trans people I know on campus that arent lucky enough to have people they can stay with, that have families that have either kicked them out or they have to go back to being in the closet when they get home.

At the same time, Cooper knows that closing campus was the right call to protect vulnerable people from Covid-19. I completely understand the need for taking us off campus because thereve been a lot of cases in the central Indiana area and they dont want to risk a student getting infected. I get that they want to slow the spread of a pandemic. That being said, our university specifically seems to have given no options for [students like us].

Different administrations have taken on different policies. Many schools have allowed international students and students with nowhere else to go to stay on campus. After initial vagueness when answering questions from a student reporter about housing for LGBTQ students, a spokesperson from Boston College, a Jesuit school in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, told Vox that they were able to accommodate all of the LGBTQ students who applied to stay on campus during the outbreak. Nearby Northeastern University in Boston announced last Wednesday that students could also stay on campus if they needed to.

Ultimately, the level of support parents offer their LGBTQ kids dictates the decision-making process for how LGBTQ students handle their campuses shutting down in the wake of the pandemic. While many students are able to find alternative housing, some are forced to go back into the closet in order to move home with their parents.

These situations or crises happen where students are asked to go home, and sometimes they dont have a home to go to

Such is the case for Cal, a 20-year-old gender nonbinary student attending the University of Utah. While Cals parents are not Mormon, they are conservative Christians, and Cal has never come out to them.

I dont think that theyve earned that from me, Cal told Vox. I have repeatedly, time and time again, heard them say things about the queer community in general that did not resound with their quote unconditional love. So that has discouraged me from being completely honest with them.

Before Utah transitioned to online-classes, Cal was living in off-campus housing. It was a very supportive situation, and they attended a support group for trans and nonbinary students on campus.

Cal now finds themself living in their childhood bedroom again, trying to finish out the school year online. Cal is also now unemployed, having lost their on-campus job as a barista and any progress toward becoming a certified lab assistant, which means they cant afford their off-campus housing. They had also planned on starting the application process for graduate school soon, but the shutdown has put those plans on hold as well.

Even with their life unraveling, they still think essentially shutting down the campus was the right call (a university spokesperson told Vox that the school has kept open its residence hall and dining services). Despite the fact that its kind of destroying my life right now, I think that it will be easier for me to recover than somebody who could get the disease and perhaps not survive from it.

In response to the pandemic and subsequent campus closings, some people have taken to offering their homes to LGBTQ students with nowhere else to go. In Washington, DC, locals organized a Google form to assist with housing students who cant remain in student housing at nearby American University.

Windmeyer said that even when universities are strained under emergency circumstances, theres often a queer community if not on, then around, campus thats ready and willing to help. I do think that in times of crisis that asking or making sure that you let people that you trust know your situation, many times through that openness and trust, people are able to come together and help each other, he said.

In other words, queer students are doing what theyve always done in times of crisis: turning to their communities for resources. Thats what Alexis ended up doing. She reached out to a local group offering direct support for students in need when Covid-19 cases first began popping up in Michigan. I was like, Oh, well Ill reach out to them and see what we can do. And they hooked me up with a person who is generous enough to let me stay here.

As millions of students see their lives turned upside-down by a global pandemic, queer and trans students are facing additional challenges. But theyre surviving through solidarity, a lesson that everyone will need to learn to overcome whats ahead.

Gyms across the country are taking precautions to sanitize the facilities in hopes to help prevent the potential spread of the coronavirus.

We did a digital deep-dive, searching for corporate gyms's statements on what they're doing to protect their members. Here's what we found:

LA Fitness: "We want to assure you that we are monitoring further advice from the CDC, that we have in-house staff scheduled daily to regularly clean and disinfect, we have sanitizing stations that include sanitizer for hands and for equipment, and we have ordered and currently await a shipment of additional sanitizers for use at the front desk of all our clubs.

We are monitoring the situation very closely and will continue to follow the guidelines, instructions and recommendations of public health officials and the CDC."

Life Time Fitness: "We are monitoring the evolving situation and following the guidelines of the CDC in all of our clubs and workspaces to keep our members and team members safe, and our spaces clean. This includes:

Wilton restaurants and fitness centers adjust to new rules

WILTON From pizza to fine dining, Wilton restaurants will only be serving up takeout meals for the foreseeable future. And if youre looking to stay in shape, a local Pilates studio will be going online.

On Monday, Gov. Ned Lamont ordered the closing of all restaurants and bars in the state that serve food for eat-in customers.

Only take-out meals and food deliveries will be allowed, in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Bars that do not serve food were ordered to close immediately, with no schedule for reopening in the health crisis. Movie theaters, gyms, fitness centers and studios were ordered to close by 8 p.m.

A number of Wilton restaurants are offering a variety of takeout meals.

Wilton Pizza is offering takeout and if anyone wants curbside service, they will accommodate them. They also deliver.

Under the circumstances, Im relieved they are doing that. Theyve got to limit the spread [of the virus] and if that works Im OK. Its been quiet. Its definitely had an impact, said manager Alfredo LoPresti.

Cactus Rose in Wilton River Park said it is closing today, Tuesday and Wednesday and reopening Thursday for curb service.

Red Rooster Pub, 10 Center Street, is offering takeout service but with a shortened menu, according to owner Tony Ramadani. The shortened menu features Italian dishes, pasta, chicken, pizza, and salad. The plan is to serve daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The hours could be adjusted in the future, Ramadani said.

Pinocchio Pizza, 1 Center Street, is offering its full menu for takeout, according to the owner, Frank Sadrija.

If you are in the mood for fine dining, The Schoolhouse at 34 Cannon Road, is offering a three-course takeout menu. Call 203-834-9816 for more information.

Bianco Rosso Wine Bar & Restaurant at 151 Old Ridgefield Road is closing for lunch, but will open at 4 p.m. for takeout. They are offering dinners for two, four or six people and are looking into the possibility of offering delivery service.

Tusk & Cup coffee shop at 142 Old Ridgefield Road will offer takeout service during regular business hours.

Not surprisingly, Wilton Restaurant Week which was scheduled for March 16 - March 22, offering diners fixed course meals, has been canceled.

We are canceling Restaurant Week but are encouraging the community to order takeout. Many of the restaurants are doing takeout, curbside pickup or delivery themselves or through a third party, said Camille Carriero of the Wilton Chamber of Commerce.

Area gyms were ordered to close.

I knew it was coming but Im very upset, not by the governors choice but upset it has come to this. I want to do whats best for the community and everybodys health, said Mary Beth Young, owner of The Pilates Advantage at 414 Olmstead Hill Road.

This is very stressful but of course Im happy to accommodate these steps for everyone. Im trying to pull together some online videos, I will get the instructors in the studio tomorrow and post them online, she said.

Information will be posted on her website explaining how people can access and pay for the videos.

My main message is, Im walking my walk of wellness and health by posting online so people can do some type of Pilates until we are back open and back to normal. Im a real advocate for health and wellness, she said.

Young said it's been stressful enough to run her own business and give 100 percent. With all of this Ive been spending money on sanitizers, wiping everything down 10 times more than normal, she said.

Anytime Fitness at 84 Danbury Road is also closed until further notice. Lets shut everything down and stay home. The sooner we do that and contain the virus, the sooner we can all re-open, said Cecelia Laskauskas, the gyms manager.
