    No on sweat per Johns Hopkins.

    As the new coronavirus is spreading, be cautious about all possible exposures, including at the gym or fitness center. The virus isn’t spread through perspiration (sweat), but items touched by many people (barbells, etc.) could pose a risk. In order to practice social and physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is best to avoid public places at this time.

    By my count -- and your mileage may vary -- Trumpist states recorded more new positive cases of the Virus That Doesn't Exist on June 5 for the first time. Again, the definition of what constitutes a Trumpist state is subjective. Example: I have Wisconsin as a D state even though it voted for Trump in 2016.

    All of these outbreaks are alarming. But we're not seeing it here in Colorado, thankfully Maybe because our reopening, which started May 9, has been slower and more gradual than others?

    On June 1, the seven-day rate of new tests coming back positive was 6.7 percent. Yesterday, it was 3.6 percent, the lowest it's been since this whole thing started. Our seven-day average of new tests is 160. Deaths also slowing, averaging 10 a day for the past seven.

    Considering you can still smoke in Nevada casinos - I'd think Vegas would be higher.

    One of those doctors is from Wisconsin or Minnesota.

    No way you get a "pontoon boat rides" citation otherwise.

    One thing is missing on here: public transportation. Isn't the subway -- its crowded nature and the common touching of rails -- a major vector in NYC cases?

    If the Trump campaign were running the MTA, you'd have to sign a waiver every time you swiped a metrocard. The upside is that it would be the biggliest, greatest subway system ever, with trillions of riders.

    This list has many errors, in my opinion. I will work on my own such list and post it here for you, at Sportsjournalists.com.
