This is not the normal, "Kids doing stupid Kids things" stuff.
With their behavior they can actually kill people.

Yep, I watched the video, but if a handful of people who are NOT infected run together, what is the issue?
But how do they know that they are not infected?
This is the whole key to an outbreak from what I understand...if everyone would just assume they were highly contagious and were infected, and act accordingly things will work out. So these runners need to run in a loose pack, or yes, better if running alone. The thing that isn't clear is the potential for spread through aerosoled contamination and how to truly prevent that scenario. Why that wasn't talked about from the start, and educated to the entire World, I think is something that should be researched for your Class Action Lawsuit...

Yep,a handful of healthy distance runners running in a group is easily as deadly as high school kids:
Drinking and driving.
Texting and driving.
Smoking weed and driving.
Online and in person bullying...which can lead to suicides.
Unprotected sex leading to abortions/mental health issues/STDs
My county has population around 105,000 and I believe they mentioned 23 positive cases, one requiring hospitalization and that person has been released. So the chance that if this group of distance runners were running together in my county, they should be fine and if they and their family have been practicing the social recommendations they will assume when they get home that they are infected and act accordingly, just like they should if their son stopped to pick up some groceries.

1) Sure if you aren't ill you can go out and do whatever you want. How are you going to prove you aren't ill? If we could say who wasn't ill (i.e. it takes days for the infection to show up), it would be easy to stop the spread of the virsus. Again, I believe EVERYONE needs to act as if they are infected, and believe even those that are could function in society if proper social distancing measures were adhered to.
2) Not breaking rules and not being stupid aren't the same. I don't know what state they are in or the rules of the state but the general intent of social distancing isn't that you can hang out with 10 friends and be fine. It is to avoid unnecessary interations. Agreed, yet many states still currently have rules in place on gatherings of 10 or less, and if those rules are followed, which I feel these kids could do, I don't see the problem..
3) 41 states have stay at home orders. Maybe they are in the wrong and the other 9 are right. Or maybe those 9 governors are more concerned about their reelection than they are about not killing off people. Have you looked at the statistics for the States that have not enacted the Stay at Home orders?
5) Why were you so dumb to infect people you life with? Why weren't you responsible? Or do you hate your kids;) You may want to reread what I wrote.
In the end how we look back at stupid activities will be dictated by the end result. If all 7 of those kids become sick and we have a couple parents die because of it(2 households were the run was the only interaction), everyone will talk about how stupid they were. If no one gets sick we can talk about how it was ok. Odds are you stupid activity will not get you killed. But some percentage of stupidity will result in people dying. If every american was as stupid as these kids we would have millions of deaths. If only .1% is as stupid as they are, it will not move the numbers. If the kids were not touching each other, not sharing water bottles, etc. I would say they are not being stupid and I bet they are well aware of how to keep a group run safe for themselves and their families.
More replies above in bold type. Have we heard of any high school or college distance runners that have tested positive for Covid 19??
Fat old people get it. No fit kids are even showing symptoms.

How about fat high school runners or chunky college runners?
Hey, there's no need to bring DIII into this!
RUDE!

Can anyone verify the validity to what flu away wrote?
I hope that the original story isn't true. That way we could name this the greatest troll post of all time. It probably is true, but if really bros.? made this up, 100/10.
That said, I don't think anyone's changing their mind on this one. People feel how they feel.

I'm not sure about the original story but I have coaching friends that tell me their school is okay with group running as long as 10 or less, which is the new State recommendation for gatherings.
My school doesn't want any kids running together, not even two brothers that live in the same household!

That is what we are hoping for so that we can develop herd immunity before our country is gone.
This has been my take from the get go. We’ve now been sheltered in place long enough to see that in 99% of the country, hospitals are NOWHERE NEAR capacity. The point of flattening the curve was so that we don’t bombard hospitals. They’ve had time to prepare, they aren’t overwhelmed. now let the people back out and let the virus run its course. It’s a virus. It’s not like we can trick it by hiding inside. Someday we have to come out again and it will be there and people will get sick, and elderly and obese people will get sicker and maybe die from it, as they would any other viral disease. Viruses kill older, weak, sick people. Sometimes they kill young healthy ones too. It’s what they do. Bad political policies use fear to control and keep people alive and miserable.
Now, in addition to 30,000 primarily very old and/or overweight people dying, we are going to have MILLIONS of middle age people in poverty and formerly young healthy people with emotional/mental issues from isolation.
So hugging should be added to the list of ways the virus is transmitted?
Young healthy people are not getting sick. Obesity is the main risk factor that the media is afraid to address. You were not allowed to fat shame but you now are supposed to attack the healthy because the obese are dying.

Young people are a vector for transmission. They may not suffer (although some clearly do) but they can pass it on to those who will suffer or who may even die. Like their parents, or grandparents. You're cool with doing that?

Young healthy people are getting sick. You would have to be an idiot to think otherwise. What young healthy people aren't doing in large numbers is dying or ending up in the ICU. So sure if you are ok with young people murdering their parents, let them go out and get infected.

You see this^^^exactly what the person that brought up what the Nazi's did to the Jews was saying. This idiot is now basically calling people that don't follow rules set forth by the government, murderers. This is a common tactic of leftist/statist/socialist regimes. dadsfad...you should be proud, you have exposed yourself as very much someone the NAZIs could have manipulated to kill jews.
Everybody who drives a car is a murderer also. If the media blasted that for the next 2 weeks, the crazy leftists would be on overpasses throwing bowling balls at cars.

How are these healthy runners coming home from a run without having touched anyone or anything all of a sudden turned into virus carrying machines?
