Secret gyms and the economics of prohibition
Wow with these comments. You going to the gym is not saving the economy. Yes, we can&#x27;t shut everything down but you&#x27;d think the article was about shutting down grocery stores or the stock market. And by not doing your part, your whole community could be stunted for 2 years. Also congratulations for not caring about a 1 in 200 chance of death (pretty high by the way) because you&#x27;re healthy and passing on the risk to some vulnerable person (probably your parents or a school teacher) with a 1 in 10 chance of death. You might be helping your personal economy, but you&#x27;re not helping &quot;the economy&quot;.<p>- give up a few luxuries especially if they involve heavy breathing or eating in close quarters.<p>- Work from home if you can<p>- Socially distance<p>- Wear a mask when you can&#x27;t socially distance<p>- Go to work if you need to. Don&#x27;t go to other people&#x27;s work if you don&#x27;t need to<p>- Support temporary benefits to your fellow citizens as you helpfully avoid going to their place of work.
