I really hope this is sarcasm. The police would laugh if they got a call like this by the way, in major cities they're not even arresting people for shoplifting or property crimes anymore.
Not sarcasm. Not kidding. I want to know where they live. I have my cell phone in my hand.
You are a joke of a human being then. Get a life and mind your own business. The cops would laugh at you and tell you to stop wasting their time.

There’s an argument that the lockdown is too costly economically, sure. People are losing their jobs to save lives and to some it might not be worth the cost. That said, the lockdown is happening. When people and kids choose to ignore it, it doesn’t give people their jobs back; it only makes the lockdown less effective at saving lives.
In short more people will die and everyone still loses their jobs if you ignore the lockdown. That right there is stupidly selfish.
There is also an argument that the lockdown is stupid because it prevents herd immunity from being developed.
Closing schools puts people in closer proximity (at home) with elderly people at risk.
The UK didn't close schools and they are doing just fine.
Regardless, I still find it appalling to see so many people castigating a small group of teenagers for running together. COVID is obviously serious but I think way too many people are falling prey to incredibly negative thinking and a doom and gloom outlook. FFS they are just KIDS
It was decided weeks ago that the “herd immunity” approach coined by the media not the UK scientists (they called it mitigation), would not work. The hospital capacity can’t handle the immediate onslaught of cases. UK closed schools.
You should be castigated for spreading false information.
Of course herd immunity works. That is why experts try to boost immunization percentages. You should listen to the experts. The downside is that more people will die in overcrowded hospitals in the short term.

Per the title, I went on my long run today and I saw a group of about 8 guys also long running. They all looked high school age and were clustered in a tight knit pack. I live in a suburban area in a large Midwestern state. At this point, is this acceptable or just plain stupid? I feel like I should have said something but I kept my mouth shut and ran by them at a careful 6 feet distance.
Stupidity of course. But you have to blame websites like letsrun.com for it as well, since they never put good recommendations out there for young runners.
I am looking forward for that class action lawsuit
lol like the president I do not see the staff at Letsrun as experts on biology and the flu. I would not be coming here for Coronavirus instructions. There are probably smarter people on the boards than the staff when it pertains to biology and medicine.
I think 10 people is the limit right now for public gatherings. So technically acceptable, but I'm going to say stupid. Maybe selfless is a better word. That group could have easily run individually or run the same route with more distance between them.
I'm seeing the same stuff happening here with neighbor kids (all ages from toddlers to high schoolers). It is a nice day and suddenly social distancing doesn't apply anymore.
Overall as a community I see a lot a great things happening that will flatten the curve, but I also see more that could be done.

sorry meant selfish not selfless
Most Americans are suffering financially and emotionally and physically from these social distancing directives. A minority of elderly unhealthy people are suffering from Covid 19. Most Americans want to steepening the curve to get this over with more quickly. I don't think you realize how many suicides and violent crimes are happening as a result of putting people out of work. All lives matter. The majority of lives should always be important than the minority or we can run into the elite making some very bad decisions.

If you don't have any friends available to run with, then run by yourself.
Exercising is very important. Not exercising at all would be stupid.
It’s very stupid and selfish.
It’s as simple as... one of the eight kids/families has the virus. After the run, the other 7 kids/families are now infected. Those 7 families go to the store, see others, and now 20 new families have it. Then 80. Then whatever. That’s how this spread happened and is happening.
I’ve been exercising more than ever. Alone. If you aren’t living with someone, you shouldn’t be seeing them.
Your kid wants to socialize? Zoom, FaceTime, or play Xbox with friends like every other teenager is doing.
So...if these runners don't share water bottles, touch each other, cough on each other, spit on each other...how will they infect each other? What is the likelihood of a high school runner going out for a "long run" if they felt sick/thought they were contagious? When they go home, what actives will they being doing with their parents to potentially spread the virus if they were in fact a carrier?
Maybe they were all related and living in the same home.
I vote acceptable.
You mean the same grandparents and parents who supported wars in Korea, Vietnam and endless Middle East wars?
F them.

I have never been able to go for a run without breathing. Maybe you have. What are the odds of being able to transmit the disease during the period where you are infected but not feeling sick? Pretty high. And yes if when they get home they don't breath or touch any surface, they will not infect their parents.
Seems like half the board has never had the flu or a common cold before.... Or they are short bus riders....

Sure but the kids choice isn't between exercising and not exercising. It is between exercising safely or exercising like an idiot.
The good news is that you can get away with being an idiot a lot. But there will be some XC team that does this and ends up with a team with 3 or 4 kids without a parent. But that is ok they got a run in.....

Great! You believe that they can catch it by the breath of another, correct? So how is that different from when one of those boys goes to Walmart and buys some groceries for their family?
If your theory is correct, which it certainly may be - but if it is, shouldn't EVERYONE be wearing masks and protective eye wear?
It also would mean that everyone has been exposed already.
Suicide rates and murder rates have skyrocketed. I don't see the national news starting with those stories. I guess the old people who have lived unhealthy lives are more important than the healthy teens who are killing themselves.

What do you mean by this?
My high school aged son is still getting daily workouts from his coach (with weekend time trials for virtual relays "races"). Although he was told to run alone, we've allowed our son to meet a few of his teammates at the school and do their runs/workouts together.
Someones it's just 2 people (total) and at the most it's been 5. It's a risk, but very minimal and no different than going to the grocery store, or getting takeout. He told me none of his teammates have gone anywhere except to the school for their group run.
My son does not leave his room except for running and food, so I balance the minimal risk with the improvement to wellness/balance/mental health.
Look at the science
Kids dont get sick from this virus
Kids also don’t test positive for the virus which means they don’t have virus to pass on.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
