This is really the strangest timeline.
In a showcase of "then why do you even need this?" Florida protestors in Clearwater decided to protest gym closings in the area by...exercising.
A video taken by a WFLA News helicopter showed a group of protestors outside the Clearwater courthouse protesting gym closures.

Without the gym.

And folks were puzzled because, if you can work out on the sidewalk...
...why do you need the gym to be open?

As the lockdowns across the nation feel more and more endless, people are understandably craving their old lives.
But when it's something you can clearly do without the aid of a facility, why risk your life for It?
More importantly, why make a show out of it?

Some states will be easing restrictions starting this week, Florida among them.
@WFLA This is funny. Stay outside and do your squats!— Foster's Mom (@Foster's Mom)1589210948.0
@WFLA They are getting a good workout at that protest it seems! They could do the same in a park or in their homes. What's the big drama?— MURRAY (@MURRAY)1589216442.0
@WFLA So it's not that they can't exercise at home, they just require an audience. Neat.— Ghost generation representative (@Ghost generation representative)1589216560.0
@WFLA Pretty cool to demonstrate that you don't need a gym to exercise.— Rob Sheridan (@Rob Sheridan)1589219952.0
It is still unclear exactly when gyms will open and all life can return to normal, but a surefire way to slow that process is to seed more outbreaks.
Exercise at home.
All will be okay again, at some point in the future.
