Current Events > Are there numbers for COVID cases at gyms?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im curious to see how theyve been doing. Seems to be the one place I go today and people follow all the rules. As well as disinfecting everything

It's so odd to me to risk permanently destroying your body in exchange for not just doing a lesser workout at home for the time being. The irony of having your lungs destroyed in the pursuit of the perfect body is right there. You'd just be sitting in that hospital bed realizing and coming to terms with the fact your roof has been lowered significantly when you could of easily avoided by just improvising for the time being. Might not seem easy now, but if you're living in that reality, it will seem like the obvious easy route.

Or maybe you get it and are Asymptomatic. That's the gamble. Though I made up that whole scenario, I'd love to see it be the latter. I guess I'm just not a gambler. But I hope you win. I hope everyone wins their gambles. But they're still huge gambles at this stage.

Idk, my way of life at this rate is, Im gonna get it and/or Ive already had it due to my job. Ive been exposed to 9 times, quarantined twice. 12 people I directly work with all had it. The first month we worked with no masks because there wasnt any and it wasnt mandated. I spent an hour on a domestic in an apartment, the lady didnt mention she had tested positive for covid the day before, until the end.

Just going through the motions at this point

Yeah you're missing the larger issue at hand here that a lot of other people in this country are missing as well. There's the chance that you get it and recover perfectly fine. But in the time that you actually figure out that you do have it and are a secret spreader of it who knows how many people you will spread it to before it's figured out. And who knows how many lives you will have affected as a result of this action.

You can give it to fellow people at work who then may pass it to a vulnerable family member. Or pass it to other people involved in with your work who can do the same.

It's not about the fact that you'll most likely be perfectly fine (although there's still evidence that the long term issues can be problematic as well), but it's about the fact that you can harm people's lives without even knowing you're doing it.

I would just stay inside until the concept of death is eliminated.

It looks like numbers are low, but the way of collecting data is flawed.

I cancelled my gym membership and bought a workout bench.

Putting your health in the hands of worker's and customer's ability to reliably disinfect equipment as well as practice safety is a really stupid and naive notion.

I've been going to the gym about 5 days a week since May. Never got sick.

Everyone is wearing masks and keeping to themselves at the gym.

This x1000. Just wait and workout at home in the meantime.

I invested in a home gym myself. So far I've spent $1300. You can spend a lot less though.
