I am fortunate enough to work from home 100% of the time so it is easy for me to essentially quarantine myself. One place I do go is a very lightly-attended gym. There's never more than a handful of people in there at a time and I do not frequently have personal interactions with anyone there. Since this all started I have been hyper-aware to wash my hands multiple times during my workouts and I never, ever touch my face. However, it is obviously an indoor environment and I've read you can get this simply by breathing the same air as someone else. A lot of breathing goes on in a gym.
Not trying to be overly reactionary here, but should I stop going? Other information - my wife at this point is still going to an office everyday and we have two kids under 10 that for now are still in school.

We're in similar situations. I also WFH 100% and have two kiddos in daycare while my wife works full-time in an office.
I'm 36, healthy and go to the gym frequently; I don't intend to stop. Until someone says "don't do that", I will continue to do what we do (including holding my son's birthday party this weekend, flying to Houston for a wedding next weekend, going to Daytona Beach the following weekend...).
