When I talked to the guy at checkout, he said that people line up on Wednesdays and Fridays in the hope some came in the shipments. They're gone within 20 minutes of the store opening.
The line for guns was pretty long at the sporting goods store. I get that people are scared and want to protect themselves. But with this thing, I think the dumbbells are more effective against the virus than firearms.
In about a year, the secondary market for exercise equipment will be hopping.

I have an exercise bike and acquired a 50 year old weight bench and old school heavy iron weights from my father in law.
It sucked at first, but I kind of like the old school weights. Much more intense workout than machines.
The bike, however, is driving me nuts. I ride until I hit 800 calories, at which point I can't feel my genitals, which is a bit disturbing. (I imagine, however, this would be a good prescription for premature ejaculation. "Ride this bike for 50 minutes before sex... You'll be good to go. Pay the $20 co-pay at the door. Thank you.")
