Coronavirus Isn't Stopping RBG From Working Out - Law360

"Gyms are closed around the country due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the personal trainer for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told Law360 that the justice "ain't having it," and is still working out with him twice a week at the U.S. Supreme Court's private facility.

Justice Ginsburg, who turned 87 on March 15, is sticking to her twice-weekly routine of planks, pushups and other exercises with longtime personal trainer Bryant Johnson in the justices' private gym inside the Supreme Court building, Johnson said in a phone call Tuesday."


Someone should probably talk some sense into the 87 year old Lung cancer survivor... :shock:

Must be a slow news day for you to post this ****. Funny how you have no problem with a president shaking hands and holding rallies but attack an 87 year old female SCOTUS judge because she exercises. Maybe you and Trump should take a page out of her book and you know, LIMIT the amount of people you and the orange baffoon are in contact with. Such hypocrisy from your pathetic soapbox.

... I think you need to take a moment to consider what you are saying there. :shock:

You are angry at me for caring more about Ruth Ginsburg than I care about the President? You have gone so far out in left field that you have circled the earth to right field. :lamo

Um no, you are posting partisan nonsense and she needs to keep with her exercising and at 87 that means having someone there. Your pathetic ignorance of the elderly is astonishing. You care nothing for her and this is more gotcha nonsense from you as usual. You have been exposed as a hypoer partisan that cares nothing for anyone but yourself and should just move along now. The only thing you are "motivated" for is ignorance on your part.

Democrats: "OH MY GOD SHUT IT ALL DOWN! SOCIAL DISTANCING!!"

How is it partisan nonsense to be worried about an 87 year old lung cancer survivor not under self quarantine during an epidemic that targets 80+ year olds and those with lung damage?

Seriously, your response is utterly bonkers!

Becaseut you aren't worried about an 87 year old, you are just using this as an excuse to attack her method of exercising. Your idiotic rouse has been exposed. Now move along, you are boring me.
 
The right wing RBG death watch continues, now featuring increased salivation. Nobody touch your faces.

She's not out in public and per your article:

Asked about the wisdom of continuing to train with Justice Ginsburg, a four-time cancer survivor, Johnson explained the steps he has taken to keep the liberal judicial icon safe.

"Well it's like this: Before I go in, I wipe down every piece of equipment that I think she is going to touch and come in contact with," Johnson said. "Then I go back in and wash my hands."

Having trained with the justice for so long, he also explained how their sessions might differ from one in which there is close personal contact between the trainer and client.

"All I have to do is set it up and she just automatically knows exactly what I want to do," he said. "It doesn't require me to grab her, hold her, get up close and personal."

They are both making personal choices yet still taking common sense precautions.

The rest of the DC is on stay at home orders... but Ruth can travel because ... why? The SCOTUS isn't in session. She has no reason to travel.

So it is your opinion that RBG isn't taking too much of a risk? Why do I have a feeling you wouldn't even question her decision if she contracts COVID-19? :roll:

I have no problem laughing at the groups of jackasses out there but an elderly person who is not completely isolating but still taking recommended precautions when having a visitor is not an issue to me.

Court should have spent all that money they did on their gym on ordering life support machines. #ImpeachTheSCOTUS

That isn't a fool proof methodology, it just reduces the risk that the trainer will transmit something to her, and it doesn't cover what she might encounter between her home and the gym.

Put it this way, if it is that easy to keep an 87 year old in recovery from lung surgery safe from COVID-19, then why shut anything down?

This is why we have draconian orders that limits travel to just essential needs like food and hospitals. The trainer could just as easily create a workout regime that the justice can perform in her own home and train her by video conference. RBG is strong for a woman of her age, but she isn't maxing any Nautilus machines. :roll:

And sure, they are making "personal choices"... so why are the rest of the people in DC on mandatory quarantine? Why can't they make "personal choices" and take "common sense precautions"?

The irony that you would call anyone else hyper-partisan. ;)

It's important to exercise but maybe her home would be safer than a public judicial gym during the pandemic? Especially in light of the fact we know that the infection is real trouble for the elderly, especially the elderly with underlying health condition.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard to complain about.

So let's say that RBG contracts COVID-19 in the coming weeks, what will your position be then?

Those recommended precautions are only to mitigate risk while performing essentials activities. You still run a higher risk of getting sick than you would at home. Taking precautions can reduce the chance of contracting the virus, but repeatedly putting yourself in harms way adds up over time. You can reduce the risk from, for sake of argument, from 20% to 2%, which is valuable if you also minimize the number of times you expose yourself to the risk, but if you engage in the activity 50 times you are still at high risk.

NO, see, RBG can't achieve sick gains at home, bro. :roll:

Call the police and report her.

Why would I do that? All I stated was that someone should talk her out of taking unnecessary risks. It also sets a bad example.

So it's not really that concerning.

I feel you, I see these dumbasses in groups all over the place but I ain't calling the police either.

So on your scale of concerned there is only "not really concerning" and "call the police!"? :lamo
