  1. I apologize. I should not have called it a gym. I see a private trainer and there may be 2 trainers and 2 clients at any one time. I think that is still considered a gym here. But on the walk there I am surprised that almost none of the people walking are wearing masks. That is not to say that regular gyms are not open also but just less people being seen but much more than mine.

     

    Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense. London is allowing something similar if just a couple of people involved.

     

    Hard to gauge the percentage wearing masks here - maybe 30 or 40% are wearing them when out and about. Most do on public transport.

  2. Not very many mask wearers as I walked to my gym today. I guess that they figure it is "outside" but it was also on the L. I want to see how they act when the mayor starts closing things down. She is a woman who generally means business.

     

    How are gyms allowed to still be open in the States?

     

    In London they have been closed for the last 3 months with no date yet set for them to reopen. We only had in the last few days some restaurants reopen with the very strictest conditions. A large proportion of the population still preferring to isolate rather than tempt fate when clearly there are still some nationwide flare ups.

     

    It's hard to think of a better environment than a gym for the virus to lurk unhindered apart from perhaps meat packing plants and saunas.

  3. Georgetown is preppy?

     

    I suppose there is a snobbishness in who decides. In the eye of the beholder perhaps would be fairer.

     

    Is Georgetown an elite school?

    The stereotype at Georgetown is that we are all rich, preppy, east coasters who went to the most elite prep high schools. While there are many people who do fit this stereotype, there are also a lot of international students and students from other states.
