Secret gyms and the economics of prohibition
Wow with these comments. You going to the gym is not saving the economy. Yes, we can't shut everything down but you'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'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're not helping "the economy".<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't socially distance<p>- Go to work if you need to.
