In the weights area, I would guess that half the people were wearing masks. In the aerobics area, I was the only one. ugh. I saw zero cleaning staff. (As an aside, can you imagine having that job???)

The environment reminded me very much of the gym pre-Corona. Also the biggest issue I had wearing a mask the whole time wasn't breathing. It was that the mask turns into a giant sponge of sweat. Pretty gross.

If I wasn't paying dues, I probably wouldn't have gone. idk if I'll return soon. For some reason, I pictured machines getting constantly cleaned and wiped down and mask wearing being strictly enforced None of this was true.
I was finally able to quit my Boston Sports Club after 6 months of them refusing to process terminations and thankfully have a small gym in my building. It's supposed to be capped at 6 people, but I've seen others sneaking in roommates/partners. Signs all over the place that you have to wear a mask at all times, and there are several security cameras in plain sight. Usually have had to tell at least one person per visit to please put on their mask - anyone who gives me ****, I've taken low-key photos of them sans mask, and emailed it to security and property management office. Hate being a snitch in principle, but not when these idiots are endangering everyone else in a small, confined area. Yada yada yada "don't go to the gym then" well I gained 30 pounds despite doing home workouts since lockdown so my fat ass says no

The parks have been too crowded near my house for me to feel comfortable letting my 19month old run around.

Instead I found an old cemetery near my house that is almost always empty. She loves it, and no risk of contacting anyone.

2020 the year we play in cemeteries.

Just got back from a trip to Utah and corona is definitely a hoax there. Supposedly the county I was in has had 0 cases, which seems suspect. No one working anywhere there was wearing a mask, only the tourists, and most businesses had a sign that basically said "we're not wearing masks but if your gay ass feels better wearing one, be our guest".

The good news is they are focused on the real problems...saw this story on the local news.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE BURNING CHILDREN

I had a similar experience on my road trip through Utah - everywhere except Moab, which must be the Austin of Utah.

I just had a very similar experience in Wyoming. Employees in businesses were wearing masks, but almost none of the customers were.

It's just amazing/sad how tied up with political polarization responses to COVID are. Overheard on the patio of a restaurant:

Dude: I brought a mask with me to ?The Barn? (not sure about name of venue) just in case they required it, 'cause I didn't want to get kicked out. She noticed it in my pocket and called me a pussy.

Girl: I didn't call you a pussy. I said "what are you, a Democrat?"

Dude: Same thing.

News articles give the standard line that he had underlying problems. There is a problem with this pandemic that everyone who dies and tests positive is therefore covid death

If you have diabetes and get attacked by a bear, and while they are treating you for the attack you die from complications related to diabetes...you died from a bear attack.

There are a lot of problems with this pandemic, but I don't think that is one of them.

It's a confirmed thing that every major medical things worldwide confirming that a large percentage of covid deaths are wrong. It's in the news but buried because cuties and fires are more interesting.

I think the gym I've been going to has been open for 3 months now, and I wouldn't stop going.
