If you want to be Howard Hughes that's your choice. If someone wants to stay healthy through exercise that's their choice.

By all means, stay healthy. But don't endanger other people's lives to satiate your vanity.

And let's be clear here: This isn't about the "health" of the gym-goers. It's about preserving their self-image.

"Staying healthy" can be done with zero equipment and no gym membership. If you think otherwise, then your goal isn't to "stay healthy", your goal is to show off at gym bunnies. And no, your showing off and vanity is not a choice you get to make during a pandemic. Tough.
