    Australia and New Zealand have had much success beating back the virus by physical distancing, but still allow exercise:

    "Both countries have enacted strict physical distancing regimes, enforced by police. Planes have been grounded, workers have been told to stay home, schools have been closed in some places, and entire industries put into hibernation.

    Across most of both countries, it is unlawful to be outside without the “reasonable excuse” of essential shopping, medical care, exercise, or compassionate grounds."

    Closing parks is dumb.  That’s basically saying that the only people allowed to get outside and have fresh air are those that are fortunate enough to have a house with a yard or a vacation home somewhere. Sorry apartment dwellers, you can walk down the sidewalk though. 
    I've seen lots of people walking in my neighborhood walking in packs. I would then see other packs would walk up to the other pack of people to BS.  I saw a guy on TV point out that was the reason why he was going to a Local park so he was away from most people.  He said he felt safer then in his neighborhood going for a walk. 
    I see this too. I still walk and run in my neighborhood but as the weather warms there are way too many people out. Might need to find a more remote area to go to. 
    You do know that if you run it is more likely you have a wider spread of the virus.
    So by running you are actually saying a big fuck you to all people who are staying inside to contain this virus because it is not likely to be under control for the coming weeks. 
    Don't run are cycle sportly wise, it has a bigger effect on spreading virus, maybe you are carrying it without knowing it. You can contaminate other people without knowing it.
    Only people who are tested are sure that they don't have the virus.

    Whoa, Rick, back up there... You're assuming bbiggs a) hasn't been tested and b) is running close enough to others to give or receive the virus.  I didn't get that from what b said.  Even without being tested, I don't see that by walking running and cycling away from others is a problem.  If it is, I'd like some verifiable, sound information that shows that to be true.  My wife and I have found places to walk where we don't get closer than about 20 feet from any other walkers and most of the time much further than that.

    Maybe don't make harsh accusations without getting more information first.  We'll all do better by being cool and helpful toward each other, not by being harsh and accusing.
    I can see now that it looks personal but it is meant general.  Bare with me..  i do not mean any harm to any person in person.
    Never, i don't know anyone here personally..  well..  only the Big Greek..  hahahaha..

    As in" You know if you run..."   
    Nothing personal, nothing with knowledge about any person here what is health status is.
    But if the only thing you can do is sit at home as much as possible and minimize the risk of spreading well..  than just do that.
    People who are excersicing sport are spreading more then who is not running around. Not talking about normal walking or cycling.
    If you run or race on your bike your breath is heavier and you lose more wet air out of your mouth.
    That's all..  simply said.

    i saw that new unemployment claims are at 6.6 million. trump has the best numbers.
    6.6 million on TOP of the previous 10 million. Team Trump Treason has the best, biggest, most beautiful and incredible numbers. Brilliant brilliance in all its brilliancy. Some might call it 3D chess.
    there's always a tweet


    On my birthday he said that dumb shit. I now wonder what brilliant great numbers will he throw out there just for attention. He truly is a moron.

    Långfredag today. (Good Friday?)

    Everything closed. Swedes are travelling through the country to visit friends and family spreading the disease.

    Miss meeting my mom. Haven't met her since she find out all of this caused her to lose her job. And don't know when I dare to visit her, or any of my family again.

    Weird times.

    I just told my mom last I won't be able to see till August, which make it a year since I've seen her. However, She's not in any hurry to see anyone because she's battling Myeloma: cancer of the blood. Which weakens one's immune system so she hardly wants any visitors.

    Sunday past we did this zoom thing with our cousins in England, Wilmington and DC/MD. That was the coolest thing that we could all see each other. My mother and daughter were asleep though but we plan to do this every Sunday. It's so important to keep up with your love ones, sharing thoughts and ideas as we get through this thing virus.

    Sweden allows anesthesia used by veterinarians to be used on humans, because of the big risk of medical supplies. 

    Maybe not a big deal at all, but it sounds odd.

    So now the governor here in Florida wants to open some schools in some counties. His rational that he does see anyone 25 and under has died from CV19. 

    What, has he been in a cave, has he forgotten we have the oldest population in the country. Has he forgotten that most teachers are older than 25, janitors and other support staff. I said awhile ago this politician was born out of Trump's ass, what a moron.

    Moron. I hope he faces some backlash (& a swift kick in the ass towards reality) for this.

    My folks just got back from Florida a week ago. Haven't seen them since January.  Its brutal but there's far worse as you know.

    Hey bud.  First of all, show me the facts that state running by myself (not in packs) causes "a wider spread of the virus."  I'll be waiting.  Second, I'm saying "a big fuck you" to no one.  If you've followed along with this thread for more than 5 minutes, you'd know I'm one of the biggest supporters of staying at home and have followed those instructions before they were even mandated.  I certainly don't have to explain my actions to you, but just so you're aware, I run and move away from any nearby pedestrians that are walking or running (MUCH greater than 6 feet).  Finally, you know what they say about assuming right?

    Just horrible how ignorant some people are!
    Maybe there has to be a family member who dies before they realize what they're talking about. Unbelievable...
