To not go to fitness class when coach has sick kid and has spent hours cleaning it up...

[denhaag]

Would you go to a class if you knew the coach was nursing a sick (vomit) child at home?
I don't know if I'm being OTT or whether (since I don't have to go) I should just miss it.

You really are looking for any excuse to stay in and watch tv and eat a takeaway aren’t you? 😆

Is it a class or a one on one?

I’d still go but I’m pretty immune to bugs like that.

Would you be expecting a refund?

Totally depends on the fitness class. Spinning or yoga where we all keep to ourselves, yes. Water aerobics or swing dancing where there is more contact or mixing of fluids, I might give it a miss.

That said, I’ve quite often cleaned up kid vomit and not gotten ill myself even with very high levels of contact, so risk is overall low.

Absolutely not! If I don't go to the class I will go for a run.

A class

Not at all

It's circuits. Coach will demo with apparatus which we will then use.

Sure you will 😆

I’d not go, but I detest vomiting -some people don’t mind as much as others.

Ermmm OK. Some people enjoy exercise you know.

You not being one of them on the basis of this thread!

How do you think you're going to catch something from an instructor running the class?

No. I'm wondering whether to bin off a class which might put me at risk of getting a bug, and do something else instead.
Would you like me to show you my Strava activities for the past week?

Handling weights etc that the coach has touched.

Sounds like a threat! 😆

I know the risk is small, but it's not one I need to take and you know when something's got into your head...it becomes A Thing.

Honestly I think you are being very OTT unless you/someone close to you is extremely vulnerable.

Not at all. You seem determined to think me wondering about not going to a class where I might catch a bug means I don't enjoy exercise.

That's what I'm wondering, hence why I'm asking.

its either that logic

or

You have a serious health anxiety that blinds you to sense

I probably wouldn't tbh. Aren't vomiting bugs airborne? I say that as someone currently in bed with norovirus.

I went to work today
my dd was up half the night being sick
I didn’t tell my colleagues. Why would I?
And if you had been one of my colleagues, and I’d told you this - would you have refused to come In?

I'd just go for a walk or something instead and skip the chance to catch a bug. But then again, I haven't vomited in probably 30 years or more, and I'd like to keep that streak going for as long as possible...
