[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did any local pools suffer an outbreak in 2020?[/quote]
Not in Montgomery County.

However our county leader is so conservative about covid restrictions he would probably ban pool touch pads on account of not wanting multiple people to touch the same surface.  :wink: [/quote]

Ugh.  Beyond bad.  Chlorine kills germs. Geez. [/quote]

Please, for the love of God, stop repeating this.  Surfaces don’t matter and the chlorine is in the water, not the air (where your nose and mouth are 90% of the time in a public pool).[/quote]

And yet transmissions in the swim context at indoor pools (super germy compared to outdoor pools) is pretty much zero (hockey, soccer, baseball, etc cannot say the same at all).

Indoor pools actually have the advantage on environment.  The warm humid  environment is not ideal for the covid-19 virus  And, yes, Chlorine does kill it.  Heavy exhalation is done IN THE WATER with swim.  Outdoor pools have the advantage of large volumes of fresh air - diluting the virus - and sunlight, also kills the virus.  This area has done better than most because of our hot humid summers - transmission occurring in dry air/air conditioned environments.

ALSO, touch contact surfaces has shows NOT to be a significant form of transmission.  That was what was initially thought but this is spread via aerosols.[/quote]
