H1N1 Cases increase day by day, people now avoid to go out in public, so how bout u guys, i means
most of u guy sure go to gym every day, so we expose to public every day,

or there is some safety tips to do during work-out at gym


come share some.............

ya lor...yesterday got 1 case ppl die near my office...

I'm workingout at a small, old school and peaceful gym...not so many ppl...furthermore, i'm coming near closing time...lagi la x ramai orang...LOL

Wah people die near ur office???????

one staff here at my office positive H1N1 pun aku dah cuak.......

oooo, if the gym not so much people i think still ok la, but at my gym everyday, sure ramai

sometime we dun now the equipment also can be dangerous if it already been used by someone infected with the virus.

I think safer to go when not much people lo, else just alternate home and gym, at least you reduce chances by a little.

H1N1 is getting worse in Msia wei! Haihz

+1

only the media did not escalate it properly...

OI use mask during workout, can mati eh. or else the whole mask will soaked with sweat and stick on the face ><

But but but, what I know is, if you have any symptom, wear a mask to protect from infecting others.
But lets say even if you wear, some infected guy sneeze while doing some reps, then you use the machine and your hands are filled with bacteria, though you are safe from air (mask), but when mask wet, you use hand to wipe (sometimes), so also dangerous right?

Really need wash hand and face before and after gym, need keep clean towel near always so to avoid use hand or shirt or whatever.

According to WHO statistics, the case fatality rate for H1N1 is 0.036%, meaning those infected with H1N1 virus have a 0.036% chance of dying. It's extremely low compared to dengue. There's no need to panic but good personal hygiene is recommended, make sure you wash your hands after going to the gym, and make sure you don't touch your face after touching the equipments.

The N95 masks (the ones that look like a bra cup) will protect you from airborne particles, the regular mask (surgical masks aka 3ply mask) will only protect others from being infected if you are sneezing/coughing.

You see a guy coughing at the gym, take the heaviest dumbbell and smack him.

Use a barbell instead. Easier than lugging the dumbbell all the way to him.

...then do a couple of reps of an exercise of your choice.

Seriously, I don't even think about it. Being ignorant is no good, I admit, but you just gotta trust in fate.

I cough a lot these days in the gym, at work, heck any where.

I just go anyway, close my mouth whenever I need to cough.

better run away when u see mofonyx arround hahahahaha

Which gym does Mofonyx and Dan goes to?

I'll go find both of them.

The regular flu kills more people than the H1N1 flu. That means I am more deadly than piggy flu.

Sungai Long clubhouse gym.

plus keep the distance, avoid infection.

Gotta send Dan my germs via Poslaju.

Anyways, if you are really afraid of contracting H1N1, you can have your very own self imposed quarantine.

Stay at home and chill everyday like a hermit.
