Reply to comment by Jahooodie in COVID safe gyms/workout spaces? by Alert-Ad4070

You can’t live in society without posing a risk to others. We all spread germs and bacteria which cause illness, and in some cases, death. Data has shown being both masked and vaccinated doesn’t stop transmission either, let alone some HEPA filters within a massive gym. Lock yourself away and never interact with humans again if you’re that concerned.

OP knows the only true answer is to workout at home, within the context that their partner has a health issue. We can’t all wear hazmat suits forever to keep the frailest members of society perfectly preserved.

So no, actually, it’s not exactly a reasonable request, because the answer is self-evident. If you’re afraid of the world, workout at home. Unfortunately life isn’t fair.

They’re not afraid of the world, they’re trying for risk mitigation. It’s okay dudes

It seems kinda wild to posit that trying to reduce risk is bad based on amorphous unknown “data”, good luck out there though

You can reduce the most risk by working out from home. You know this. You’re ignoring it

While true, they’re trying risk mitigation not eliminating it completely.

This existed in a less public way pre COVID, if that’s what you’re on about. Do you have no realtives that have gotten organ transplants, had chemo, ect? Risk mitigation is part of their lives around public germs

No, but that sounds like a great way to keep safe from Covid-19

Well, since I don’t have access to that I’ll be searching for in gym workouts. Thank you though!
