Are you guys seeing more SPAS closing and are you still visiting?

News Flash: Aside from spas located in dungeons with high humidity and no ventilation, they all maintain a similar germ level.
Some may look and smell cleaner than others, but you are still talking about skin, sweat and sometimes other residual liquids on the massage table. That especially includes that hole that some of you stick your face into and that pillow that everyone uses on the flip. The 3 minutes between you and the last monger doesn't give the germs time to die on the table, the door knob or curtain, or for you long shooters, the walls.
Your skin protects you from most of this. All goes to hell when you put your hands in your mouth, your eyes or you start digging at your nostrils. That's why you keep hearing the big emphasis on hand washing.
But yes, the perception of going into a hot box of human fluids is not appealing to LE.

Seems to be a lot of naive comments. First this is a respiratory disease, so even without touching an other person, the virus can be transmitted by being in close vicinity to an infected person even if they are asymptomatic. Secondly if you are obese, smoke, or over 60, you better worry. There is a high chance you will be hospitalized if you catch this thing. Even if you re not one of those the hospitalization has been relatively high for even young healthy folks. And god forbid the hospitals get overwhelmed then don’t have enough ventilators. Remember there is still a lot unknown about the long term affects as well.
I agree with your first point on this being a respiratory disease, but your second point has a few factual issues.
Yes, people with comorbidity factors should worry. That is the sick, the immuocompromised, and the elderly. I haven't seen any evidence of obesity being a comorbidity factor for the virus on its own.
Most people are riding this out at home, especially younger people. They are not being hospitalized and they are being told by the NYC Hotline to self quarantine at home. This is also true of healthy older people that only have mild symptoms so that they don't overwhelm the hospitals and potentially spread the infection in hospitals. They are trying to find out why younger people seem to weather this better than older people, but that will take time.

my main concern is a lot of these "spas" have small face openings with the same mongers going face deep and
breathing previous germs.....I Came to my last few visit with spray alcohol bottles and drenched the whole area upon walking in room,then undressed...
I still think i might just stay to the side or just sit belly up and no face in the hole..
Changing that thin paper really wont protect you...

I was thinking about these stats when I replied:
https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html
In New York, 1 in 4 people are classified as obese, and that number rises to a bit more than 2 out of 5 nationally and 1 in 3 globally. Compare that to about 1 in 8 diagnosed with heart disease or chronic kidney disease, or 1 in 12 that is diagnosed with diabetes, etc.
The reason why it is easy to find obese people with medical conditions is because there is a high prevalence of obesity in our country (not the other way around in a causal relationship). To the point of COVID-19, pneumonia, or other respiratory illness, obesity is not a comorbidity factor.
To your point however, hypertension has the same statistical incidence as obesity. The majority of obese individuals do have hypertension.
