I don't believe the L A Fitness gyms reopened in GA

They don't want the liability and concomitant bad publicity from someone going to the gym and getting sick or worse. I imagine a lot of larger corporations will be more circumspect about reopening.

I suspect when L A Fitness reopens its gym it will do so on a national and not individual basis.

I know at my LA Fitness in the SFV there are a lot of older patrons with lots of comorbidities. It wouldn't take much to harm them or worse.

One of the least pleasant parts of my workouts are putting up with the obnoxious strutting redhats.

I think it's important to remember which businesses took care of their people and their customers and which ones didn't.

Times like this reveal what a person or a corporation actually is, and those who are profiteering or endangering people can fuck right off. Boycott.

Businesses don't want to be on the news as being the place where infection spread.

So it's not a matter of just saying business can reopen.

It still comes down to dealing with the virus itself.

It's only alive insofar as it can reproduce by killing cells. It has no empathy for Donnie Boy's desires.
