It is a pet peeve of mine that people do not wipe off the exercise machines after using them. It is that much worse when it is a season of higher amounts of people getting sick. In addition I don't work out at peek times so it's not like there are a line of people waiting to get on the machine. There was one time I did not wipe off my treadmill and it was because I went to get the wipe and someone was already on the machine as I was walking back (it was a peek time and he saw me get off).
I just really really really wish that people were more considerate of those around them. I used to be the type of person that went to school or work while sick until I realized that I was contributing to a problem. At my last job I actually took a sick day which was new for me, and when I got to work the next day one of my clients claimed I was lying, yea I dunno why!?
Anyway, if you are the type of person that does not wipe off the exercise equipment after using it or that goes to school or work sick, please stop being that person. If you are that parent that only allows sick days if the kid has to go to the doctor, don't be. (Although I understand that sometimes finances are the issue when it comes to going to work when sick). There is legit not a good enough reason however to contaminate gym equipment while sick. I think that might be why I have a sore throat now after being healthy for a week.
When I am sick I try to avoid going out and getting other people sick unless I have to go out. If I do go out I try to do things like wash my hands frequently, not shake hands when I meet people, sneeze into my elbow, put my used tissues in a plastic Ziploc, and use hand sanitizer (now I use the face mask). When I work out at the fitness center I always wipe down the equipment I have used with the available sanitation wipes.
I'm confident this is not what these scriptures were meaning but I think that they are applicable so I am using them...
Matthew 7:12
So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Philippians 2:4
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
