		nawgszy on March 16, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bay Area Counties announcing a “virtual lockdown” There is no limitations on personal exercise like going out for walks except that you should try and remain 6ft+ from others. I don't think suggesting people be isolated from close contact with others during a global pandemic is authoritarian and wrong-headed. It seems to me like the benefits of fresh air might be lesser than the lung damage of covid19 after all.

Sure, sure. But we don't know at the moment what the impact is of keeping people largely indoors except that is is generally less healthy.
