If they say you cant go out would you still go out running?

France under some sort of lockdown, similar to Italy.

People allowed to go outside alone for physical activities.

Probably many normally workout in a gym but don’t want to go to gym or the gym is closed now.

Loophole- if it comes to it and the police go on patrol in the states, just run with a grocery bag/grocery item/receipt on you and you can claim you were just going shopping.

No.

We should not be doing all we can to contain a virus that has little effect on children, marginal effects on healthy adults and unfortunate but unsurprising effects on the elderly and already ill.

We should all be doing what we can to maximize the prosperity and health of the human race as a whole.

I fail to see how a hodge podge quarantine system that threatens to cripple the global economy is healthy or wise. And when I refer to the economy, I don’t mean the stock market index or your home value. I mean your ability to buy groceries, travel freely, learn, and socialize

The virus is not going to go away in 2 weeks or even 8 weeks. We didn’t overcome smallpox, polio, and cholera by quarantine. We overcame it by the healthy going to work, going to school and coming up with a solution.

here in Italy it’s still possible to go out running ALONE but parks and beaches are now inaccessible. The problem is that people use this as an excuse to go out just walking so it will soon be forbidden to exercise outside as well. Professional athletes can still train in some facilities with doctors even though I really don’t see the point in that

It's a three month jail term and a massive fine if the police arrest you for breaking the quarantine. You can also be charged with attempted murder if they decide you are negligently helping to spread the virus.

Is there really wisdom in threatening jail when basically you would guarantee the incubator called jail spreads it to everyone in the jail, including guards? Unless you extend jail terms to forever, those people are coming in and out of jail as their terms expire to spread it further, and presumably guards go home daily to spread it to their families.

Also, do governments realize that people (at least in the free world) only submit until they feel aggrieved? The more draconian the punishments for what is considered normal activity, the more likely the unrest explodes into something less containable than the virus itself. Human sentiment notoriously shifts very quickly. I don't think governments are properly assessing the risk of locking down so tightly that unrest and rioting starts. There only needs to be one or two instances of violence met with police resistance for the whole thing to catch fire. I give this a low probability right now, but it's certainly possible if things continue down this path to the extremes some people are suggesting.

I would still go out running. There's next to no risk passing on any virus while running alone.

If the cops tried to enforce this, I would head to several nearby trails. I'm sure the cops are going to have better things to do than patrol trails. Or, if the cops got really, really serious, I would just run the two miles between my house and the grocery store, bags in hand.

I think this point has been made, but I think the limits to restricting activity start with preventing people from leaving their house at all. For a virus that has a less than 1% mortality rate, people just aren't going to put up with being told to encase themselves in their homes for long periods of time.

It appears the governments agree with me somewhat given the release of criminals in certain jurisdictions (LA for example) and 'lowered admissions' (nice euphemism - like it's a choice to put fewer people in jail). Although, I think they are really just creating more of a bad situation because they are releasing those with conditions that would be most affected by the virus (lung disease, diabetes, etc). It's hard not to think they are doing that so they don't have to treat the inmates rather than for the ostensibly humanitarian reasons they claim. Adding criminals to the population also just further increases the risk of the world catching fire. Good luck, world.

I know I would. Absolutely no risk going on a run alone.

Yes I agree. Restrictions wouldn't stop me from running alone. No reason to buy into all this over reaction. Exercise is always a good thing for illness. Has always helped me get over things faster.

i will just run country roads

Coronavirus patient in Omaha Nebraska facility was on the radio this morning. Hes 67 and was one of the cruise ship returnees. He said they only give him lots of Gatorade and tell him to walk a lot because the virus does not do well in higher temps. They want him to exercise to bring his body temperature up.

This makes no since because if the virus causes fever why would he have to exercise to keep is body temperature up.

I would follow the recommendations of our government for the safety and health of the public. And i would do so knowing that there are more important things in life and in society than my past times, pursuits, and interests.

Is there really any question here?

Were you born a sheep or did your local govt. indoctrination center turn you into one?

I would still go out & run, i do run at around 3;30 ----4am most of my day's, the world is just waking up . I take care of myself first before i take care of anyone eles. At that time i know they can't catch me anyways.

Enjoy your morning RUN!!!!!!

Good Luck & Be safe.

I live in a small town and could also run trails or country roads. If the National Guard was brought in, I could just do loops around my .86 acre property. Heading out in a few minutes to gps it.

Since we are signing in for our local run routes, I tell you this in all honesty. I run by a residence of one of the casualties of the corona virus. It's a few blocks away.

I can go out in city or in the woods. They won t be able to prevent me.

In what way is it contrary to the constitution?

Good for you Americans if it is impossible for the President to take such a measure, maybe attitudes will be different if and when thousands are dying every day.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/12/us/coronavirus-quarantine-questions.html

If such a small percentage of the population perished in China when the virus was not yet isolated from late Summer 2019 to Nov. 2019 and westerners, especially Americans were travelling to and from the Wuhan manufacturing district during that time, how in the hell are we going to see an explosion of death after weeks of shut down in the west, especially when the virus affects mainly older and debilitated individuals?

Get a f-in grip people.
