Our gym is reinstating practices this week. I'm nervous about sending dd. Wondering if there's been any known gym transmissions. FWIW we're in an urban area with high COVID numbers.
Wondering if there's been any known gym transmissions.
New? Did any gyms have outbreaks?
Haven't heard of any at gymnastics facilities yet... but that doesn't mean it won't happen.
I was super sceptical about the ‘kids don’t pass it on easily’ line our government is feeding us.
Anyway my point - hundreds of people exposed to infectious kids, none caught it, kids or staff. It is still early days, but we have another few kid cases across the country right now, so it will be interesting to see if this continues to be the pattern but it is looking positive.
Its not that kids don’t spread it. It’s that they don’t get as sick.,
It will happen when gyms open. I would be more concerned about elderly coaches, than kids.
And all of those kids have adults at home, many of whom are high-risk. The whole “let’s send all the kids back to school and sports because even if they do catch it, they won’t die” argument that we are hearing locally ignores the fact that kids live with, and are taught by, adults. A big reason we are trying to protect our daughter from the virus is that we don’t want her to pass it along to us and end up an orphan.
Everyone is free to do what is best for them. If you don’t feel,comfortable sending your kid to school, you can homeschool.And all of those kids have adults at home, many of whom are high-risk.

The world cant stay home.
Most people survive. Seriously they do. Case fatality rate is at 5.5 % and dropping. Very low risk to actually get the disease with proper mitigation.
Sorry for your suffering and thank you for sharing. I hope you and your community can heal from all of that trauma.peopel do survive covid19 mostly, that's true.
it is also true that even at least half of the asymptomatic cases do have lung damage and probably also heart, liver etc. damage since this is an systemic infection not a respritatory one. and most of them do not even know it since they feel fine at least till they try to do sports and the like.
there are also about 10 percent or so of the infected who are "long haulers" meaning they are sick not for 14 days or three weeks but for up to 100 days and counting. these are "mild cases". they experience a lot of different symptoms, many go to the er several times (at least in places like germany where you do not have to pay as much as in the us for great medical care) and get send back home.
there are also real lucky ones with 2 or 3 weeks of sickness and that's it but they often report symptoms way worse than just the flu and flu is already bad.
and let's do not forget that of 20 people infected 4 (20 %) do end up in hospital, 1 of them goes on life support, 1% die.
i had covid in early march (tested positiv, got tested with mild symtpoms since germany tests early and i am teacher so they needed to know if i was sick). 2 days of the worst headache i ever had. i guess electric schocks feel like this? i vomited two times because of the pain. over the counter medicine did not work. at all. i googled "stroke" during these hours. got it on friday, was okay sunday evening, so went to work on monday, little bit of a sore throat, nothing real. on saturday i went for a run, was fine, on sunday got bad back pain all of a sudden, could not sleep that night because of it, called in sick on monday because i got a low fever (37.7 degree celsius) and couldn't walk anyway because of the back pain. my headteacher made me call the authorities to get tested, i did that and got tested on thursday (back pain got better from day to day, fever went away on thursday), on saturday they called me and told me i tested positive for covid and will be in quarantine for 14 days. base line: this was a very good outcome for me and a really mild case. i was very, verym, very lucky. still won't go back to these headaches for anything ever.
we had some cases at my school (aorund 850 pupils, 70 teachers, year 5 to 13 so age 9 to 19) back in march before they closed the schools for several weeks. one of them (got infected in italy on holidays not at school) was one of "my kids", a year 6 student. i had to send her home during lessons because she became sick very suddenly. let's just say i have never in 10 years of teaching ever send a kid home (and this happens often, about twice a month or so) that sick. she was bawling, red eyes, vomiting, bad stomach pain. tested positive a few days later. protect your kids.
