For the next global pandemic (please god no) I think we're gonna need to do things differently in a number of ways. Closing down gyms is imo not the move.

Taking away the ability for the majority of people to pursue health-promoting activities on their own in the name of public health is a ridiculous thing to do, and I'm sure a great many became detrained and gained a significant amount of weight as a result. Gyms should imo be thought of as essential businesses in most every emergency situation.

heart disease is the #1 killer in usa, not covid. and we have some powerful preventative medicine for heart disease, but it involves moving and learning to prepare foods for yourself.
