Are your pools still open? All of ours closed down at the beginning of quarantine and they have already announced that none of the pools or rec centers will open this summer ( and possibly this year).
Open-ish. They've got physical distancing enforced, and some have limited hours, but yes. Water isn't known to transmit the wuhan coronavirus (and these pools are chlorinated), so I figure it's decently safe as long as people aren't dumb when out of the water. No lounging around on pool chairs, though.
Coronavirus isn't descriptive. SARS-CoV-2 is unbearably clunky. Covid refers to the disease caused by the virus (it's short for "coronavirus disease"); people don't communicate a disease, they communicate a virus. This is like the HIV/AIDS distinction: you can't "catch AIDS". Hence my terminology. Talk about petty, though. It's from wuhan, so calling it "wuhan coronavirus" or "chinese coronavirus" strikes me as more than reasonable.
