Theoretically, you’re probably close to 180 if you are hitting 125 for 10. You would probably just need to focus on it specifically by lowering the volume and increase the weight. Not that you should, just that you could.
Keep up the great work!

I’m looking to increase my big three and do my first powerlifting meet if my back holds up well. Also getting bigger and closer to looking like a square is good.
I’d like to pay for a few kilos to bench three plates.
I’d like to deadlift 270kg give or take during this corona virus lockdown but I’m not sure how close I am so I by some kilos off you for that later.

Pneumonia means basically an infection in the lungs themselves. It can be due to several things, most common of which is bacteria. Viruses are known to cause pneumonia as well, as is the case with covid-19. A few weeks back, when testing wasn’t widely available, all they knew was that there was an infection that was in the lungs, which lead to the cause of death, hence being signed off as pneumonia. As the information grew and got better, they realized that the pneumonia they couldn’t treat was most likely Covid-19 because it had the same patterns and lab findings then (when it wasn’t tested yet) to now.
Dying from a heart attack (where the heart attack is established as the cause of death) then testing positive, I’d agree with you on that that it shouldn’t be changed to Covid-19, unless he survived the heart attack and deteriorated from pneumonia from Covid-19, then it would be perfectly valid.
Immediate cause of death is the key phrase here. For example, if a patient with stage IV lung cancer died of a proven heart attack, on paper or the death certificate, it would be labelled as:
Immediate cause of death: Heart attack (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction to be exact)
Intermediate cause of death: Diabetes mellitus type 2, hyperlipidemia
Underlying cause of death or Other diseases: Stage IV lung Cancer
The system may vary per country of course, but that’s the general idea as to why some of them will still be ascribed to Covid-19

Got a bit to many beers and dark’n Stormys yesterday.
@whang great description.
The way I understand it, is that it’s the same way it’s measured all over the world.
That is if you’ve been infected with covid19 and died no matter why, almost, then you’re in the statistics. That way it’s easy to compare different strategies all over the world.
On a training related note, I think I’ll recover from yesterdays drinking by doing a Jim Wendler template I’m going to do Jack Shit today. Sitting in the couch feeling sorry for my self.

We’re having out best friends, a couple living 100 m’s from us for easter lunch, couldn’t hold the quarantine any longer. Well recommendations are less than 10 people, so we should be good. Have a setup with an empty chair between us. Lots of hand sanitizer, but I think we’re good. He works at Unicef a lot of it from home the have their temperature taken when entering work.
I’m going to have massive hangovers tomorrow, wish me good luck.

Damn that was a great afternoon and evening.
Today it’s a trip to a nearby forest with the missus, and a long walk, that should do the trick.

This sums up my thoughts almost exactly. Only thing I’d add is that I don’t really put too much thought into whether they are doing the right thing or not. The reason being, if I think they’re doing it wrong, no-one cares. I’m not important, I’m not an expert, no-one is going to come knocking on my door to ask how we should handle this. If I start getting myself all wound up and angry about how things are being handled, the only person I hurt is myself. Just my 2c.

The other thing is that, being human they too will make mistakes.
Times of crisis like this are when a government has to basically go, fuck it, this is the best we can come up with right now so we’re doing it. We’ll make changes as we learn more down the track.
The absolute WORST thing to do would be to take longer to get more information or consider options befor acting, because this is one situation where doing nothing is disastrous.
To be honest, it looks like most countries and populations have figured that out. People are just getting cranky because for the first time in many cases they are finding themselves inconvenienced to further the best interests of everyone.

People are just getting cranky in general. No-ones having a good time of this and in this day and age that means it must be someones fault, ideally someone elses fault. That means the government is doing it wrong, everyone else is doing isolation wrong, everyone is wrong and I’m the victim of it all.

Then there are the ‘this was all a ploy to take our liberties’ brigade.
To whom I say, go outside the Commonwealth, EU or USA. You’ll soon learn what taking liberties away actually looks like.

Yep. Or India, or anywhere in Africa or South America or the Arabian Peninsula.
Not denigrating those areas either, their governments just really don’t mess around when they decide the population is going to do something.
