"Hi, son. Your mother is having a hard time breathing." "Is she using the Peloton I sent her?" "She's lying face-down in bed, trying to get her SpO2 levels up" "Oh, so she just wants a quick fix. Got it. SMH"

  You said that there would be no deaths if everyone got a Peloton. That's one of the most out-of-touch COVID opinion I've ever heard. I really don't get your point. Healthy people get COVID too, and you can't cure a lot of health problems with exercise.

  Apparently not. Claim: Exercise and taking care of yourself makes you healthier, more resilient. HN: First, prove your existence by citing sources I find agreeable. Otherwise I'm entitled to assert that this is all imaginary, without citing sources!
