Covid is a disease that overwhelmingly targets the obese.
But you can't go to a gym.
Do you consider working out an "optional" endeavor?
Not only is it essential to beating covid, but, working out keeps people sane. More young people have died from increased alcohol abuse, suicide, and drug overdoses than Covid. This all coincides with the insane push to de-humanize humans. We are social creatures. We are active creatures. For the past year and a half we have been denied these human needs. What is optional to you, is essential to others.
Personally, I don't care too much about losing the prospect of eating out, or hanging out in a bar. For others, especially young people seeing their entire social prospects evaporate before their eyes- this is life ending. For me, working out keeps me sane and not suicidal. I don't have the luxury of a home gym.
I chose to continue working out during the pandemic, training at "secret" gyms. For my health and my sanity.
All my other friends in my age group have put on weight and are more unhealthy than they've ever been. How does this help fight the pandemic?
body weight exercises, running, walking, biking, or just getting vaccinated are all options.
Beyond that, I agree that mental health services are essential and should be provided at no cost to anyone who needs it, especially when precautions against a pandemic have a negative affect on mental health.
