I'd stay out of gyms for now. Be smart.
Do exercises at home. Bodyweight or use the equipment you have.
I continue to wonder if contracting the coronavirus as a healthy person is a good idea rather than risk getting it sometime down the road when you aren't as healthy. The comparison being the chicken pox which are much less serious for juveniles than for and adult.
There is a yet unanswered question as to whether you can catch the virus twice.
“If you get an infection, your immune system is revved up against that virus,” Keiji Fukuda, director of Hong Kong University’s School of Public Health, told the Los Angeles Times. “To get reinfected again when you’re in that situation would be quite unusual unless your immune system was not functioning right.”
Seems to me the most important thing is to know if you have the virus. If you do, it is only right that you quarantine yourself to avoid giving it to other people, specially those who are likely to be sicker or even die from it. If you any symptoms of the coronavirus, get tested asap.
Much is being done to try to stop the spread of the virus in Oregon. It was just announced that schools will be closed in Oregon. Venues that gather 250 people or more in close quarters are cancelled. Sports events are cancelled. At this point the number of presumed cases in Oregon is very low. But our neighboring state of Washington has a fair number active and presumed cases, as well as deaths which are related to age and compromised health.
I am toying with the idea of discontinuing gym visits until after things settle down. But, I am not convinced that it is absolutely necessary. I'm a fatalist. If I'm going to catch the virus, I will. There's no escaping it. For now, I will avoid confined spaces where a fair number of people gather, such as a bar or nightclub.
