I have coronavirus...should i keep running?

20 guys on my team were positive but all were asymptomatic. All ran straight through quarantine and came back better than ever.

Yeah, there are a few cupcakes afraid of the media driven boogie man on this thread- and I don't mean John Wick.

There are plenty of credible articles about COVID and runner slipstream.

If you want the education, you'll look.

Look at what you are reduced to

Had to get a CoVID test before traveling to New England for thanksgiving and it came back positive. I feel as good as ever, averaging 60 mpw for the last month and have had some really good workouts the last few days. Basically, I couldn’t be anymore symptom-free. Is it still ok to stick to my normal running routine? Or am I asking for trouble by stressing the system at a time when my body may be fighting a viral infection?

Up to 50% of infected people are asymptomatic.

So self-quarantain, don’t do workouts. But I see no reason not to continue easy running by yourself for a fortnight.

Yeah...which shows the whole thing is overblown & hyped to no end! If this is the "killer" virus that the pharma cartel & medical industrial complex are trying to portray, you wouldn't have 50% of infected people asymptomatic.

The whole situation is a total joke with so many people asymptomatic or experience very mild "cold-like" symptoms. 69 yr old Alabama head football coach Nick Saban first had a false positive a few weeks ago and now has another positive reporting very mild symptoms (headache & sinus problems). 59 yr GM John Elway tests positive last week reporting no symptoms while working from home. If this virus is so bad these two middle-agers should have been hospitalized fighting for their lives.

We're all being subjected to a fear-mongering campaign of unbelievable proportions so as to achieve high vaccine compliance when the vaccines roll out.

Yes, but look at the list of all the famous people the virus has claimed!

1. Herman Cain (cancer survivor).

2. That's it

Who cares about freaking fame!

A death is a death.

You don't have to be famous to matter.

As long as abortion is legal, masking and quarantines can't be legal. Even a 5 year old could see this inconsistency. We can kill the most vulnerable but we are required to protect people who have chose their lifestyle despite all of the experts warnings.?

I'm not tying protection from a disease into an argument about abortion.

But here. I am against abortion and in favor of disease prevention and protection.

Wear the freaking mask.

And STAY the freak HOME if you test positive.

Otherwise the people that are killed are akin to abortion.

They didn't have a choice either.

There, you have your argument.

R U really that stupid?

If this were an actual pandemic that has taken 270k American lives and over 1 million lives worldwide, some people we have actually heard of would have died.

Do you really need that explained to you?

270,000 lives mattered.

Just because you didn't hear about someone you didn't know in your nebulous rural shack, gramps, doesn't mean that someone that was meaningful to SOME community SOMEWHERE didn't pass away from COVID.

THAT should need no further explanation for you.

But you lose the argument because you are only 1 person. Our society has legalized abortion which is the willful taking of a life. So we legally allow murder but we then try to protect the lives of others who chose to live an unhealthy life? I am not sacrificing my life when they made no sacrifices for themselves and continue with their unhealthy ways. You can though.

I assume you are in favor of outlawing all leisure travel. Imagine that some of the same lawmakers who are in favor of masks and quarantines are still travelling around daily killing people with their cars. Yes, auto accidents happen everyday. I am sure that you are also in favor of mandatory exercise for everyone because obesity is the number one risk factor for Covid. Losing weight would do more to help than having everyone wear masks. And it would save many more lives because it would save people from heart disease and cancer and diabetes also.

Do you deny the validity of this statement, Einstein?

Gonna dodge again, aren't you?

By the way, how many of those 270k people, with a median age of 80 plus year, 94% of whom had at least two other life threatening health conditions, and 45% of whom lived in nursing homes (where median life expectancy is five months), do you supposed would have died this year if there was no Covid? None of them?

I don't lose s--- as one person.

One is a number just like 325 million is a number.

I don't lose s--- because you say I do.

We're talking about quarantining and masks.

WHAT in the hell is that sacrificing????

Freedom to be an a-hole?

Maybe you haven't heard about the late, the great, MFing JOE DIFFEE!

Had COVID not swept through nursing homes, the 2020 death count is guaran freaking teed to be lower. Fact.

If you can't breathe, you're more likely to die. Fact.

A nursing home is not a hospice. Two different foci. Fact.

You have no facts to the contrary pops.

You have already lost, coward.

When I tested positive (with symptoms) my doctor literally told me to go outside with a mask on walks where I could be socially distanced from people because it can help clear my lungs and help me recover faster.

I would walk a sparsely populated loop early in the morning and late at night so I didn't see anyone. I never even saw one person on these walks. SO, I don't see why someone who is asymptomatic cant go on safe runs as long as they are staying away from people and being smart. Obviously it depends on your situation but this worked out for me.
