Jackson County gyms unhappy with reopening guidelines

@Logic Police I prefer being addicted to exercising and lifting weights because it builds physical strength and mental toughness. In a sense, it gives me the courage to deal with reality. Drugs are okay, I suppose. But I'm not trying to run away from reality.

@@bobingalls4643 I definitely want to thank the government for keeping the gyms closed. I haven't gotten the virus but I am in the worst shape of my life with the added bonus of my immunity being gone due to the inactivity and my allergies are keeping me perpetually sick. Thanks, it's really been worth it.

[@Josh-c5k8q]

Don’t go to the gym if you’re scared of getting sick or getting your family sick. How hard is that?

[@mikem9270]

Because if you get infected you run the risk of infecting others when you go grocery shopping or going to any essential businesses. If you're not an idiot and follow the guidelines then you should be fine however, we live in a world full of idiots.

[@Raz0rIG]

@@mikem9270 Plenty of doctors say the opposite to what the media has been feeding you. They cherry pick doctors that go with their agenda. If you give up your freedoms for security, you deserve neither. If you just think about it logically the responses that the media is feeding you doesn't make sense because it contradicts what they are trying to portray. An example is the flu number comparisons. If you take the total number of covid cases vs the ratio of deaths that gives you the fatality rate. So the media tries to up the numbers of reporting the cases trying to portray of how infectious and dangerous it is, yet if you have 1 death to 1000 vs 1 death to a million cases that's a lot less lethal isn't it? So if we take what the media said based on their own words, the virus isn't actually as harmful as they would like for us to believe because they were short sighted and didn't double check their logic on reporting. If you have a common cold that infects millions every year and 30-40,000 die every year that's not a very significant statistic in terms of lethality. Nevertheless those deaths are real but statistically and naturally we don't overreact to that because we understand the risks. If you were to take safety to the extreme, you would never even drive your car EVER because of the small risk that you take every time you drive, you could run into some crazy driver or accident thats no fault of your own, but you take that risk anyways because you deem it insignificant. The point is don't be a hypocrite and condemn others for assessing the risk factors for themselves when you do the very same thing when it comes to everyday things like driving or going to work. You might argue that going out is going to infect others and infringe on their right to live because you infected them but I'd just flip it around back to you and say well you could potentially make a mistake and kill someone in a car accident. You could potentially harm someone on accident, is it proven that you were sick, is it proven that you were careless in the car accident? Can you see the parallels? The point is the case studies are incomplete on the numbers and there are plenty of evidence to the contrary that shows that lockdowns are ineffective and ACTUALLY counter productive and harmful.

[@elainesalvador8011]

So will people be required to wear Masks? We breathe harder when we're exercising, some people cough as a result. How well will the person who used the equipment before you wipe it down, what about the disinfectant bottles, will they be wiped down after each person touched it? Too many variables for me.

Liquor stores are open which causes depression, domestic violence, etc but gyms that improve peoples behavior are closed?

[@Momo_8k]

I totally agree with what you said, but offer some counter points. In regards to alcohol restriction, we learned that lesson about prohibiting alcohol in the 20's. And to your point regarding causation, if liquor stores closed, you've cut off the supply to those who are addicted, while also providing no other means for them to cope. The fact that alcohol consumption goes along with the things you've mentioned are true; but could depression and domestic violence possibly be even worse if you took it away altogether? When compared to an alcoholic or even someone dependent on alcohol, I would argue that someone committed to health and wellness has a higher level of mental fortitude, drive and willpower. On the mental health scale, they are more apt to cope with a loss of their gym and should be able to more easily adapt.

[@Ganbarizer]

Liquor stores are cleaner than gyms by far. I used to go to gyms. Hardly saw anyone wipe down the equipment they just sweated all over after they were done. People breathing hard and releasing droplets into the air. Everything is packed closely together. I can see why they’re still closed.

@@TEMUJINARTS Shut the fuck up idiot. Do you shop at Walmart or other supermarkets? Everything you buy has been touched by several people. Every package and box has been infected. Supermarkets are probably the dirtiest places on earth. Someone will touch meat from the meat section. Then go over to the produce department and use the same hands to grab some fruit. Then use those dirty hands to look at the clothes or toys. Then grab a couple bottles of sodas. Then the people place their items on the scanner, which is covered in bacteria and viruses. Then you place the groceries in the car, grab the steering wheel to drive home. Oh, and you probably looked at your cell phone a dozen times while shopping. I've also seen people drop food on the floor and place it back on the shelf. Yeah, and you are worried about the gym. At least there are restrooms at the gym where you can wash up.

[@stevefrancischetti7675]

You are exactly right.Its the people that dont go to gyms who dont understand the way gyms have moved up the playing field on cleanliness,such as wiping down equipment when done and sanitizing.

It is what it is. If you don't like it, then cancel your membership, and go train elsewhere. This could be a worst situation where gyms are closed indefinitely, or many commercial gyms go out of business. Finding gym equipment now is hard due to low stock and increased prices. A lot of gym equipment companies have shifted some of their manufacturing capabilities to help out with the pandemic such as creating face shields, masks, etc, so it's like playing the lottery in ordering a power rack, bench, etc.

This is crazy, only 10 people. Are there any county commissioners in Jackson County who ever worked out in their lives.

Whether it's Elderberry, Echinacea for 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, zinc, the vitamins we all know about, it has to be a combination of things.....just like work out supplements there is a way to boost your immune system. Not a cure, it just helps. I never hear anything of this in the discussion. Foundational to this is Barley Green. And there are 173 people in Jackson County who've tested positive and how many have recovered. How many are not out in the general population. I went to my gym and it was not packed but we were training hard and wiped down all of our equipments, even the dumbbells. It was like living through a bio-apocalypse but we did it.

Above figures seem high compared to other countries, but are actually only marginally higher when looking at normal death rates and when considering our late action in preventing spread in retirement homes. Senior citizens with severe health conditions already stay home and do not frequent gyms, clubs or other venues.
