First off, nah.

Its not covid. It’s the plague from China. Hehe.

My apologies to my daughter, Donald Trump, and everyone else …

Corona – is my favorite beer. Period!

It ain’t no nasty biofarware virus, I’ll say that.

This damned plague -ugh!

But anyway, plague, Chinavirus, whatever, it’s here, now what you’re going to do about it, as I keep asking.

And as bozos globally keep ignoring, and the few people that get it, get it, and that that.

China done spread this.

NOW, what you gonna do?

Run in fear the rest of your life?

Be survielled the rest of your life ?

Put up with government intrusion into your body in the form of panixes that a) don’t work fully, b) aren’t (obviously! duh!) vaccines if you can get the damned thing again after being so called panixated c) have not been tested throughly and been rushed through and you CAN and DO get side effects in many cases that do NOT go away despite what the idiots in white coats say…. ?

Maybe the majority of the globe is willing to do that.

I ain’t

Maybe that stance means I can’t quite travel as openly as I’d like if you get my drift. In countries like PR of See (just an example), not being vaccinated means you can step out of your apartment complex, but you can’t do much other than that.

Being I hardly do much other than that – I prefer my cave – that suits me just fine for now. Hehe.

A fact that incenses my haters no end, and there are plenty!

But anyway … I forgot to add to the above list – QUARANTINES!

Damn near everyone traveling anywhere on whatever documentation or passport is subject to it these days.

I was reading about quarantine in the UK, Taiwan, and a few other places.

The UK system is that you have to quarantine for 14 days, no matter what or where you’re from.

Everyone has to pay.

Taiwan has a different system wherein apparently travelers from high risk countries (the UK is one) do NOT need to pay – but (from what I understand) do NOT have the choice of choosing a quarantine hotel themselves, rather, they have to stay at government approved quarantine facilities.

In either case, you’re cooped up for 14 days STRAIGHT.

Nothing doing.

A guy from the Phillippines who stepped out into the hallway for a sum total of 8 seconds was apparently fined NTD 3500 for it.

Admittedly he did more than just step out – he was sneaking items to someone else’s room (nothing illegal, but still). If he had just stepped out and stepped back in, doubt they would have done what they did – Taiwan is a great, great country (yeah I said it) and the people there and the authorities etc are some of the friendliest ever.

Hong KOng used to be that way too until …

(Hong Kong was even better in my opinion because in many ways, you felt comfortable like you would in the West. Thats one reason I prefer Taiwan over Singapore, by the way!).

But anyway, and either way (and yes, people from countries not classified as high risk do need to quarantine, but at their own expense. Apparently for whatever reason the high risk country travelers – the Taiwanese government pays for it. DOesnt make much sense unless of course those categories of people do NOT have the choice to choose a quarantine hotel).

Pain the ass. Massive one!

Jumping though hoops, which I was recently explaining to my daughter (her online class mentioned it, and then I told her).

Her teacher “seems” to have got the meaning right, but I’m not sure, so I told her.

But either way, should be on the list above.

And if I had to choose, damn!

Being cooped up in a room for 14 days STRAIGHT with officers “calling you” and checking on you daily – if your phone runs out of battery, they’ll show up at your room, hehe – and being tracked via SIM Cards etc …

You cannot leave the room. Room service and housekeeping cannot enter. Any meals etc are left outside the ooor – you open your door – get the meals – and then close again.

In many ways, perfectomundo for a caveman like me!

But I do love my hills, and mountains, and not being allowed to go outdoors for that reason and that alone woudl drive me BONKERS.

The isolation, I’d love it!

Especially with internet access etc – but caveat – in a hotel, yes – in one of those government facilities – no way!

Those are bare bones “prison cell” like facilities, basically. Which is probably the case all over the world.

Anyway, the Taiwanese seem to have done a pretty good of containing this thing ,I dont know.

And I was wondering, how the heck do you stay fit?

I mean, not for me. The average Joe!

Someone wrote about running sprints in his hotel room. How the heck do you do that anyway?

Apparently he did in Australia (wine bottles were a marker).

Some dude in China in a high rise quarantine hotel was doing semi pushups every morning.

And so forth …

But it got me to thinking.

Think about it.

You’re stuck in a room for 14 days, period.

NOthing doing. Can’t go out!

Wouldn’t you go BAT SHIT without a proper workout?

Lets face it, wouldn’t your first (curiously enough in “normal” circumstances it would be the LAST thought for many people) thought i.e. “how can I MOVE about or workout?”

Even those, and there are plenty that dont “care about” gaining weight (right!) will complain first thing you know, that “I can’t workout!” (when they never would have anyway but that isn’t the point, hehe). . .

Remember, no clubs, kettlebells, dumbbells, hotel Jims, or even chinning bars allowed.

THIS is precisely the reason that while I DO have pull-ups in 0 Excuses Fitness, they’re not there in the videos.

I show you how to get it done – barebones, with NOTHING other than you and the floor.

And the results, well, speak for themselves.

THIS is precisly the reason I talk about handstand pushups so much, and bridging.

Both of which can be done ANYWHERE you have a floor and wall!

Or, isometrics . . .

And all of which get you into super shape – give you a workout within 15 minutes or less – or more if you’re stuck staring at a hotel room wall with nothing better to do (or even worse, government quarantine facilities, ugh).

Come to think of it, great time to write books . Hehe. For me, provided I get stuff delivered etc – would be great, and apparently most quarantine facilities around the world allow it.

And if there were some exercises I’d really hit during a quarantine, if I ever go through one?

Hindu squats and handstand pushups for one. No disturbance, in air conditioning … hey! Can’t complain!

And if the hotel has a great view, so much so the better. I’ve heard of some where instructors stand by the pool and quarantined guests exercise on balconies – not in the buff, of course. But if you’re China in Hainan or HuiZhou , well, they do have hot tubs on the balcony. True story – I almost got into one too with a beer!

(Balcony exercise thing, I believe it was a quarantine hotel in Cyprus)

Hot tubs, hot rubs, hot dames, and of course the pantomine that is COVID…

Anyway, this damned virus is a pain in the butt.

We all, of course, know “W.H.O” to thank for it!

And there it is.

Back soon!

Best,
