Coronavirus hits all 50 US states as death toll rises

The deadly coronavirus has now hit all 50 states in the US as West Virginia reported its first case of the infection on Tuesday.

Announcing West Virginia's first Covid-19 patient, Governor Jim Justice said: "We knew this was coming."

New York City said it was considering a lockdown similar to one in the San Francisco Bay area.

There have so far been 108 deaths in the US from coronavirus and more than 6,300 confirmed cases nationwide.

Globally, there are about 200,000 cases and nearly 8,000 people have died.

As the Trump administration seeks a $1tn economic stimulus package, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reportedly warned Republican senators privately on Tuesday evening that if Congress failed to act, US unemployment could hit 20% - almost double the jobless rate during the Great Recession after the 2008 financial crisis.

What is New York City considering?

Mayor Bill de Blasio said he would decide within two days whether to order the city's 8.5 million residents to "shelter in place".

Such a move could largely confine people to their homes, while allowing them to make necessary trips to buy groceries or medicine, walk a dog or exercise as long as they avoid public interaction.

"It's a very, very difficult decision," Mr de Blasio said. "We've never been here before. I have never heard of anything like this in the history of New York City."

Officials in the San Francisco Bay area have already ordered 6.7 million residents to stay home for all but the most crucial outings until 7 April.

What role might the US military play?

US Vice-President Mike Pence said the White House may call on the US military to establish field hospitals in virus hot spots if requested by state governors.

He told a White House news conference on Tuesday that the Army Corps of Engineers could be asked to set up field hospitals, known as Mash (mobile army surgical hospital) units, or help expand existing hospitals.

Pentagon chief Mark Esper said the US military would make available five million respirator masks and up to 2,000 ventilators to the US health department.

He said the military would also open its 14 certified coronavirus labs to test non-military personnel.

What are the other latest US developments?

On Tuesday, Florida joined 11 other states in closing bars and restaurants in one of the most subdued St Patrick's Day celebrations the US has marked in peacetime.

Organisers of the Kentucky Derby - America's longest continuously held sports event - postponed the horse race until September.

It was the latest rite of spring to fall from the calendar because of the coronavirus, along with the Masters golf tournament, the March Madness basketball extravaganza and baseball season.

The country's largest enclosed shopping centre, the Mall of America in Minnesota, said it would close until the end of the month.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were ordered to make fewer arrests to avoid jail crowding where the virus could spread.

Twenty-two people were infected with the respiratory illness at a nursing home in suburban Chicago.

Meanwhile, the US and Canada are reportedly finalising an agreement to suspend non-essential travel between the two countries and are expected to issue a statement in the coming days.

How is President Trump responding?

President Donald Trump - who is seeking re-election in November - told a press briefing on Tuesday afternoon that travel restrictions within the US were on the table.

"You can do a national lockdown," Mr Trump said. "Hopefully, we're not going to need that. It's a very big step."

He also defended his tweet on Monday calling the infection the "Chinese virus", which his critics said was racist.

"It did come from China," he told reporters.

Mr Trump also said on Tuesday of the outbreak: "I've felt that it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."

Last month he struck a more optimistic tone, saying the US coronavirus outbreak "within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero".

One of the benefits of Andriol is that, unlike many other oral steroids, this one is not toxic to the liver because
it does not pass through the liver. Thanks to its lower androgenic rating, Deca is one of the
few steroids men can tolerate – if not better – than testosterone
itself. Deca-Durabolin generally causes less water retention than Testosterone Enanthate at higher doses – but diet and individual response play
a substantial role. Even the most advanced
users are best served with a 12-week cycle length.

The dosages may also change, and the more effects can be gained from both steroids.
For this reason, users of steroids that are known to have
these effects will make use of anti-estrogen drugs known as
aromatase inhibitors. Many of these are cancer medications made
for women and are not always simple to get your hands on. Trying to pull off too much weight
is a common mistake for new gear users. This could be
the best stack ever for cutting – it certainly was for me!

Thus, Dr. Ziegler’s intention wasn’t just to create a compound that
was more anabolic than testosterone but one that
would also be less androgenic. He accomplished this
with Dianabol’s androgenic rating of 60, compared to testosterone’s 100.
Both Dianabol and Winstrol are widely known in the bodybuilding and athletic community for
their performance-enhancing properties.
Testosterone Enanthate is a slow-acting and long-lasting testosterone steroid, so cycles
need to be long enough to allow the steroid to take effect.
Ideally, cycles should be 12 weeks at a minimum with this form of testosterone.
When it comes to muscle growth and bulking, both Anavar and SARMs can be effective.
Anavar is known for its ability to increase lean muscle mass without significant water retention,
which can be appealing to many users. All anabolic steroids
will decrease natural testosterone levels, however anadrol’s adverse effects on T levels are dramatic.

Consequently, the crash from anadrol may be hard, requiring an intensive post
cycle therapy.
The good news is that we now have legal, safe alternatives that provide
most of the benefits of Anavar. Dianobal is a very powerful steroid with many anabolic properties, some of which are similar
to Anabolic Steroids like testosterone and trenbolone.
This question can be frustrating to answer because there are so many factors that come
into play. Once you decide to go ahead with this cycle, do get
in touch with a reliable and experienced dietician who can prescribe a proper diet
to follow during the cycle. This will help
maximize the benefits and maintain your health throughout.

You might see the half-life listed as short as 4.5 days and as
long as 10.5 days. If the choice is still made to use Testosterone Enanthate, dosages for females should remain at the very low end
of 50mg per week or less, and then monitor your response.
It is best to stack Anadrol with its bulking partners
dianabol and deca and test stack or Deca Durabolin. If you’re still not feeling hungry, try
adding some high-quality supplements to your diet. Estrogen is a female
hormone, and when it is present in high levels,
it can cause the breast tissue to grow. In most cases, gynecomastia will resolve on its
own once the person stops taking Anadrol.
Tbol is known for its ability to promote lean muscle mass, strength, and endurance while keeping water retention to a
minimum. Post Cycle Treatment (PCT) is crucial after anabolic steroid use to restore natural testosterone production and balance
hormones. PCT often includes medications and supplements to stimulate
testosterone and lower estrogen levels. Proper PCT helps
prevent side effects like hormonal imbalances, loss of muscle gains, and
other health issues, ensuring long-term recovery and well-being.
Unlike most anabolic steroids that increase sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which can inhibit muscle growth
by binding to testosterone, Win Max actually lowers SHBG levels.
Some common side effects include liver toxicity, acne, hair loss, and increased cholesterol
levels.
The above punishments aren’t just applicable to Dianabol
but to anabolic steroids in general, according to the Controlled Substances Act.

During this ’60s/70s era, bodybuilders could simply go to their doctors and
ask for Dianabol (and other steroids) to get bigger and stronger, and
their request would be granted. Steroids’ adverse effects were not well known, and they were
100% legal. Some people may prefer to stack Dianabol
and Winstrol together to get the best of both worlds,
but this can increase the risk of side effects
and require proper post-cycle therapy. Yet, beware
of its potential malefic effects, ranging from hepatic distress to legal entanglements.
B-AET helps with fat loss by inhibiting cortisol production through the
suppression of the enzyme 11β-HSD1.
