"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"

Obviously it's a little tongue and cheek but I'm sure people get the point.
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.

Exercise is widely accepted as preventing health problems.

Of course. I'm just saying medical problems exist that exercise cannot cure.
> you can't cure a lot of health problems with exercise.

Now that has to be tongue and cheek.

Apparently not.

Claim: Exercise and taking care of yourself makes you healthier, more resilient.
