I walk my dog on a path that makes a wide loop around the YMCA near my house. From the periphery of the parking lot, I can see people rushing from their cars to the building to spend an hour on the treadmill or in the pool. I'm immunocompromised from treatment for multiple sclerosis, an incurable, progressive disease of the central nervous system.
I've resorted to walking around the building for the past three years because I'm at risk for getting very sick or dying from COVID-19. It's safer for me to get my exercise outside, separated from the maskless people exercising inside.
