@MassGovernor @MassDPH #exerciseismedicine You guys have it completely backwards.
You're saying that Beer Gardens and Street Festivals with up to 250 (presumably unmasked) people are fine starting 5/29.
But apparently gyms won't be safe until at least August. (1/?)

@MassGovernor @MassDPH Meanwhile ... 1) COVID was only the THIRD leading cause of death in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer. cnbc.com/2021/03/31/cov…
3) Depression rates are reported to have TRIPLED over the past year. sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/…
4) The average person is reported to have gained 15 pounds. apa.org/news/press/rel…
5) Regular exercise is believed to protect against severe COVID. nytimes.com/2021/04/14/wel…
6) Exercise boosts immunity and makes vaccines more effective. nytimes.com/2021/04/14/wel…
6) Over the next decade, healthcare costs attributable to obesity/overweight could reach $956B annually. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1038/ob…
7) Meanwhile, literally EVERY single source of public data - including YOUR OWN DATA - show that gyms have been among the safest settings. And almost without exception, every time there IS a cluster tied to a gym it's because people are being sociopaths. mass.gov/info-details/c…
@MassGovernor @MassDPH This is an opportunity to show real leadership, and to truly "follow the science".
We need to abandon our completely reactive approach to public health.
You should be *paying* people to go to the gym - not scaring them away from it. #exerciseismedicine
