The more I read this story of #superspreading in a Chicago gym, the more outrageous it is, especially this late in the game. A few amazing quotes below.
So preventable: distance, wear good masks, improve ventilation & filtration.

2/ Just amazing this can be true ...
"Overall, 43 (78%) attendees with COVID-19 participated in multiple classes while potentially infectious.* Twenty-two (40%) attendees with COVID-19 attended on or after the day of symptom onset."

3/ This is why #COVIDisAirborne education is critical:
"Patrons brought their own mats and weights and were stationed ≥6 ft apart."
"Mask use, temperature checks, and symptom screenings were required on entry"
"however, patrons were allowed to remove masks during exercise." 🤦♂️

4/ So many without masks!
"Among 58 exercise class attendees who provided information on in-class behaviors, 44 (76%) reported infrequent mask use, including 32 of 38 (84%) attendees with COVID-19 and 12 of 20 (60%) without COVID-19."

5/ " infrequent mask use during class was reported more commonly among attendees with COVID-19 (32; 84%) than among those who did not have COVID-19"
6/ What gets me is many were symptomatic & several KNEW they were sick!
"Twenty-two (40%) attendees w/ COVID-19 attended an exercise class on or after the date of symptom onset, including three (5%) who attended on the same day or after they received the positive test result."

7/ Just unbelievable:
"Two attendees with COVID-19 (attendees A and B) reported symptom onset during August 19–20; each attended five classes during August 24–September 1 WHILE symptomatic."
