[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way I would go into my gym to work out if other people are there without masks.[/quote]

Don't but it's allowed if people are 10' apart. It stinks for smaller places but I can't work out with a mask on![/quote]

Particles can go as far as 20+ feet so 10' is an arbitrary number when breathing heavily.

They can open whatever they want but I am not going![/quote]

At some point, you're going to have to address your agoraphobia. Because whatever you're dealing with mentally does not correspond to actual risk. [/quote]

DP. But there is an actual risk here if the room isn’t very large (e.g. a class). There are people exhaling forcefully with no masks, and the particles have nowhere to go which means they will be hanging around in that room, and you are in there for more than a few min. Yikes.

We all need to remember that many things are opening due to economic pressure rather than safety, and make smart decisions. [/quote]

There are a few posters who belittle anyone who points out the obvious risk of exposure in an indoor gym.  Are you gym owners by any chance?  If you’re going into a yoga or solidcore studio you just need to hope none of your fellow classmates are infected. It’s not practical to wear masks, and this is exactly the type of setting that scientists have determined to be high risk for transmission (indoors, no masks, fairly close proximity to others over extended period).  There are so many comparatively low risk ways to exercise outside - why risk it?[/quote]
