This 23-year-old Texas woman took precautions and still got the coronavirus

High risk because people are breathing heavily and throwing off virus. Sweat might even be a transmitter for all I know.

Virus is transmitted inside much more easily.

Could it have been the gym?

Seriously, of all the places in the world other than a bar or a Trump rally, a gym is probably one of the most virus-infested places imaginable.

So glad I live alone and can work from home.

Gyms are high risk.

I don't think I'll be going back to the gym anytime soon.

A number of places she could have picked it up.

Thinking that’s probably it.

She stopped staying home, and started going to stores and even gym when lock down ended. She wasn't exactly sitting at home.

In fact, The title of the article is misleading if not flat out wrong.

It should have said ‘ Woman stops taking many precautions and gets coronavirus’

In my mind going to the gym is not being cautious.

and where they were doing it.

She could have taken every precaution in the world (though clearly she wasn't), and then one roommate does one thing wrong and boom - COVID City.

If she was actually willing to go to the gym then she probably didn't take mask wearing all that seriously either and may have hung out with friends and such - which in Texas is not too surprising because of the 'leadership' she was looking to for guidance.

else risky.

Took every precaution otherwise. But man let your guard down once and then bam.

There is no magic talisman that's going to protect you 100%. Leaving aside the gym, anyone can get infected, even if they take all the precautions. What the precautions do is lower your chances of getting infected, but they aren't proof against infection. Take the precautions anyway, because it's all we've got. For all the sacrifices we made in March, April and May, the Trump administration pissed it all away. Through a herculean effort, we bought Trump weeks of time to come up with an effective plan, and he squandered every last bit of it by fomenting pointless fights over wearing masks and bragging about his non-accomplishments. That is, when he wasn't ignoring Putin's pay-for-slay program against our military or going golfing.

Plus, there were roomates.

or something else she didn't take anymore seriously then she did going to the gym.

Maybe don't go to a gym.

of fluids. Hmmm, where could she have gotten it. Touching things others touched, sweated on, spit on. Lol. I am stumped.

have an unrealistic belief in how much they can actually control whether they get a virus. Can you lower the odds? Probably. Totally eliminate the possibility? Doubt it. That's why I laugh when people start acting like wearing bandannas and other half-assed face covering is going to solve the problem.
