Dr. Ezike: Swimming Pools Are Not Safe To Use During Coronavirus Pandemic Because Of ‘Fecal Shedding’

CDC says:

There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.

"should"

Who knows what to trust.

THEN DON'T GO TO THE POOLS -- no one is dragging you there

No need to yell, just putting the info out there. Hard to tell what to believe. I have my own pool :icon_wink:

There is going to be “fecal shedding” in swimming pools whether or not there is a corona virus pandemic.

Do you think people are dropping a chalupa in the pool? :22yikes:

Diluted by a 20,000 gallons of chlorinated water..

I'd be (am) much more concerned about public restrooms.

I bet there always is...and other “stuff” too. It always put me off swimming - in spite of what people say about chorine!

Swimming pools have been said to always be safe due to the chlorine. You should know by now that 90% of news is false so why do you continue to believe everything? How about you just bubble wrap yourself and live in a cave? Thats the only way to avoud germs

Then Dr. Ezike need not show up at our pools. Also, why would anyone give up their freedoms or amenities because some doctor said something? There are always people out there trying to control your life!

Read the statement. Mostly because of the locker rooms not the water. Just another way to spread fear to thevillages. Stay home instead of posting. ������️������������

So much disinformation
Modified by conflicting information
And sometimes 180 degree turnarounds

A study has found the coronavirus in pollution particles. I don't have a link to that study to add. Other studies have shown the infection rate is at least 25% higher than the data shows. I don't have links to for this either. I'm also not doctor or scientist.

I plan on going to the pool when they open but I won't go under the water. I'll cool off by going in to chest height and then use the pool shower to rinse off. The UV rays will hopefully kill what the chlorine doesn't kill. I do not had any data to support my plan and I don't recommend anyone injecting or inhaling chlorine or using UV light inside their body.

I think most of the villages pools are “saltwater”
Not sure if that’s as good as chlorine

I am more than willing to give up “amenities” if I not going to spread the corona virus to others who might become ill and perhaps die.

Not a nice thought to put in my head this morning....glad there is chlorine.

Dr WHO ?

Who is this Doctor??????????

The obvious solution, stop watching CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, NBC, see a common thread here? Their job is to get you to watch more fluff. I'm a doctor, I'm on TV listen to me! BS! The same clowns that said you could get it swimming in the ocean! Really? An old wise man once said, We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!

most likely there's more danger going into the ocean with all the crap that gets thrown into that body of water

we don't even think about swimming in a fresh water lake or pond down here.....aside from the quality of the water itself, there's a gator population in every one of them

My ex wife knew it all.

I fear you may be right (oops)

And what about Lakes and Ocean fecal matter?
 

Well, think about all the fecal matter and other stuff like rotting fish, bird droppings, etc, in lakes and the ocean!?!? Me thinks swimming pool water might be better but still, I certainly don't feel the need to get in the soup either way!! 😊

Just announced 99.2% of those that died in NY had underlying illness. If you already have an illness, stay home.

I just Googled dr ezike. She’s a pediatrician and her patient base likely has fecal shedding in swimming pools. We are not in her patient base, we are adults.

Thank you. At least one sane person in this bunch.

Brings to mind the clip from "Caddy Shack":

Classic "Caddy Shack" doodie in pool- Hilarious! - YouTube

Guess we should be content to sit at home forever than.

Will probably wait a few weeks and see how going into pools seems to be working out.

That is the nastiest term I have heard through this whole mess! :yuck:

I noted you left out one Network FOX!

This makes me think of a scene from "Caddyshack" -- Bill Murray and the Baby Ruth bar.

:1rotfl:

Why is it "fluff" when the Illinois Department of Public Health Director explains why "swimming pools should not be opened for now".
She said that there were also "...a myriad of reasons, that wouldn’t be conducive to promoting social distancing and decreasing community spread".

Somehow I must have missed it when CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC & NBC said you could "get it swimming in the ocean". Could you possibly share your source? Are you sure it wasn't one of the 'alternative facts' clowns?

Me too.

She was being sarcastic "Ezike said, barely able to stop herself from laughing as she did so."

And went on to say locker rooms was the risk area.

You missed FOX.....

Thanks, I was about to post who Dr Ezike is for those that never seem to read the links posted. I also posted the CDC guidance which says it should be safe. I am rewarded with posts advising me to shut up and wrap myself in bubble wrap. :a040::a040:

Fecal shedding can be produced by anyone of any age, not just infants.

:faint: So again logical thought processes are blunted. If this is so bad then it would have to be multiplied by thousands of times by taking a bath. Fecal is fecal whether yours or someone else and guarantee there is far less chemicals in bath water than in a swimming pool. Pools are cleaned on a daily basis doubt that the majority of people clean their bathtubs or showers daily.

Fecal Shedding In Villages Pools?
 

Depends.....

Lots of crap experts
