I feel much more worried about being in a crowded gym than about immune effects of exercise. People are really bad at (a) cleaning gym equipment and (b) washing their hands.
To be clear, Iād guess this is less bad than many other social situation (bars, public transport, restaurants) as well as carrying a much clearer health upside. But perhaps there is an argument for switching to more solitary forms of exercise in outbreak situations?
And obviously you should not go to the gym if you yourself are sick (people apparently do this)!
