Just saw 2 anchors on CNN pissed off people are exercising in San Francisco

These epidemologists just based their model on statistics without considering the human element. Its only been a couple weeks and global economies are crashing, tons of people are losing their jobs, all education is cancelled. Most people think its for the best right now, but I imagine as the homeless population skyrockets, opinion swings. I just wish we didn't have to wait that long.

This is exactly true. We are all hypocrites to some degree, but it is obviously most evident in public figures. Politicians and the leaders making these decisions won't stop their normal routines, and they will say they can't because they are more important than you and me. 'Media' is excluded from these shelter in place orders because they are 'necessary.' Well, maybe one person giving you factual updates periodically might be necessary for public health and welfare, but the 24 hour cycle of yammering is completely unnecessary in any conditions. You can believe whatever you want, but at the end of the day, you and I will be forced to accept a reality they don't have to accept unless we refuse. My fear in all this is people begin to refuse and it turns violent. I hope my fears are unfounded.

Our forefathers risked their lives in order to be free. The constitution guarantees those rights to us. We can't be told to stay in or to house or to have our children not attend a school or keep our business open. Not being free is not living.

This stuff doesn't hang in the air for 45 seconds, does it? Body fluids fall to the ground. The virus doesn't aerosolize, from what I understand.

CNN are scum.

You can't tell people what to do anyway.

Some people don't understand that within "recommended" practises, suggested behaviors, and edicts there's common sense and judgement.

The general "order" is meant to protect all, including, those in the middle group who actually need such directions to keep them from doing stupid stuff.

Others, with common sense and good cautionary senses must pay for their more "challenged" bretheren.

I choose to abide by the suggestions, and go ahead and do the things that I judge to be safe within the conditions.

I'm out there every day, in my neighborhood, putting one in front of the other, keeping to my own path, apart from others. What's not healthy about that?

Considering the virus can be transmitted airborne I wouldn't trust the 6 foot rule as some sort of impenetrable barrier.

++++++++++++++++++++

Believe the 6 foot rule was derived from China data--they actually aerosolized CV and measured how far virus particles travelled

The other thing of course is that if the virus just "hangs around" in the air AND carries infectivity at the same time, it is good bye Planet Earth , eventually. No medical authority has suggested simply sharing the air another person breathed spreads the virus.

The virus IS NOT known to be airborne. Experiments have shown that it can be aerosolized by certain medical procedures, but it is not spread by airborne transmission outside of the hospital.

Shelter in place means SHELTER IN YOUR HOUSE. No, it does NOT mean large numbers of people hanging out on the waterfront. None of those people are keeping apart from the rest. I'm watching that video too, and I am watching Gupta right now and he is right. How many thousands are going to die before the "MY NEEDS" people get the message?

What was Gupta doing in SF? How did he get there, on a plane? If seems like he was in NY or Washington the last time I saw him on CNN. So he is flying all over the country but complaining about people taking a walk?

That was my reaction, as well: Why wasn't he at home and who made him warden?

According to the initial recommendations, the distance was 1 meter. If people are walking or running in opposite directions, they will be at their closest distance for a fraction of a second.

Shocked that anyone would want to run in socialist Cali. First of all, the vast majority of liberals are obese, not runners or athletes (majority of conservatives).

Furthermore, the last time I ran in San Fran, there was so much feces on the street that it was almost impossible to travel in a straight line. I was slipping and sliding all over the place! I narrowly avoided landing on the exposed hypodermic needles everywhere.

I will never run in San Fran again. I will stick to my hometown- warm, sunny, conservative, Christian Omaha NE!

Right---the first part of the cut and paste was from the post I was replying to

The reply I wrote is below the ++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sorry if that caused misunderstanding.

This is so obviously a government psy-op. Event 201 is playing out before our very eyes.

The virus is fake. Go outside and talk to your neighbors. I walk my dog every day, 3 times a day, I talk to all my neighbors. No one is buying the propaganda the government is pushing. Everyone knows the virus is an excuse to steal our rights and control people and push fear.

If this virus were really so deadly then all the homeless people in every city would be dying in piles on the street.

No one in my state has died. Not a single person. Hospitals are not overrun. Talk to people -- no one is even sick.

Poor coach... :(

Bon voyage! So glad you can escape California, where nobody would want to run, to return to the running Mecca of Nebraska!

You are made for each other.

And when you look out the window there's a trace of snow and you need a sweater, so that climate change crap is also bogus?

No bodies piling up in your yard, so,....
