Sorry I hit F5 so I lost a post so this might seem incomplete because I had to retype it.
I don't mean to lump you in with the buffoons, most of us at this point are very much a victim of stupider people keeping this virus thing dragging far longer than we needed up.
I still will stand by the idea that right now no one should be going to a gym without a mask. Yes, I get it, the government is leaving that choice on the table for you. Its still a poor choice. Yes, we can take precautions, but science is showing more and more that wearing a damn mask indoors is the single best thing we can do to prevent spread of the virus aside simply staying at home. Yes we can take precautions, they help, but they also aren't as effective as just wearing a mask. It might be uncomfortable, it might make you feel like you have to breathe harder, but its so damn effective and we're still so fucked with this virus that it really is just a minor inconvenience compared to the benefits. You might not be able to exercise as hard as normal while adjusting, but again, minor inconvenience.
Really, don't mean to imply you are a buffoon or whatever. Just the government left a bad choice on the table and I would say you took it. You don't have to be dumb to make a bad choice. Its mostly our governments fault for not having proper nationalized restrictions. Especially after 4 months. Temptation sucks.
