So is it OK to go outside for a jog?

Only if you wear your boy in the plastic bubble suit.

Yes collegeboy but best to do it naked. Otherwise you'll have to boil your shorts afterwards. Enjoy!

I’m opting for a horizontal jog.

We’re “allowed” to go out for walks, I’m not sure that includes jogs, though.

Lmao, so many people out jogging right now, just came back from walking my dog in a park. People are sort of keeping their distance.

Of course, just try to keep six feet of space between yourself and other people. I ran on the high school track this afternoon, only two others there.

My small band of rebels and I will continue taking our afternoon walks. If we're rousted, which I doubt, then we'll just have to make alternate plans.

From my window I see a park along the lakeshore in Chicago. Since Saturday we're under a shelter-in-place order (which allows for trips to grocery and walks). I can see lots of people in the park walking, running, riding bikes, out with their dogs, etc. Everyone seems to be practicing "SD".

Yes, but bring your bubble with you.

What r6 said. Unless you're personally under quarantine or there's a general shelter in place order in effect where you live, it's not a bad idea to get out in the fresh air for some exercise.

I start training for the NYC Marathon on Tuesday. My group training class has been canceled but I’ll do it by myself.

I thought Shelter in Place was happening in NYC.

Doesn't jogging boost your immune system?

I wouldn't. You simple can't control if someone runs up to you and coughs in your face.

It's only a matter of time before people do this.

Not if your over 50.

Your over 50 what?

Today I saw joggers along the Hudson River Park. Jogging gives you more fresh air than walking,

I think the benefits of getting some fresh air and exercise far outweighs the very small possibility of someone deliberately running up and infecting you. People are going to go stir crazy if they can't go outside at all. Depression, stress, and anxiety are going to end up harming more people than the virus. I live in a studio apartment which gets almost no natural light...besides that, the weather is perfect now, and our summers are horrible, so of course people want to be outside. Just go somewhere that isn't a high foot traffic area and be mindful of your surroundings.

Yes go right ahead, no worries at all.

Never in my life has someone deliberately run up to me and sneezed or coughed in my face. I think you'll be fine. As others have said, just keep your distance. Even just walking/jogging on opposite sides of the street as someone else should be fine. I went out and did it today and saw tons of people out. It's clearly our only defense from not going insane, so maybe this'll actually make us a little bit healthier when all is said and done.

Only if you run through my neighborhood and slow down as you pass my house.

I LOVE bulge-watching.

Only if you wash your stinky feet after.

It's actually PERFECT if you want to ruin your knees. Otherwise, try something low impact.

I went for a jog today and it felt great!

Does anyone really still use "jog" as a noun?

Why not, R25? Most people I know do

So do we have to wear a fucking mask to go running now or not? I go running at the witching hour so it's not like I see anybody really

Jogging gives you a saggy face.

Isn’t the virus outside floating around in the air? Then you could breathing in if you go jogging or walking or whatever.

Here is one take on this matter.

[quote] Is it safe to go outside?

[quote] Even if coronavirus particles can move through the air, they would still diffuse over distance. “People envision these clouds of viruses roaming through the streets coming after them, but the risk of [infection] is higher if you’re closer to the source,” says Linsey Marr, who studies airborne disease transmission at Virginia Tech. “The outside is great as long as you’re not in a crowded park.”

[quote] In February, scientists in Wuhan, China—where the coronavirus outbreak originated—sampled the air in various public areas, and showed that the virus was either undetectable or found in extremely low concentrations. The only exceptions were two crowded sites, one in front of a department store and another next to a hospital. Even then, each cubic meter of air contained fewer than a dozen virus particles. (No one knows the infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2—that is, the number of particles needed to start an infection—but for the original SARS virus of 2003, one study estimated somewhere between 43 and 280.)

[quote] These particles might not even have been infectious. “I think we’ll find that like many other viruses, [SARS-CoV-2] isn’t especially stable under outdoor conditions like sunlight or warm temperatures,” Santarpia said. “Don’t congregate in groups outside, but going for a walk, or sitting on your porch on a sunny day, are still great ideas.”

No one should leave their house, especially ugly people.

Watch those shoes and keep your distance

R12 is correct.

I think it’s best that you run in place OP.

Stepping in dog poop kills the virus R32

And here's the common sense answer:

If you are in an area where you are unlikely to encounter more than two or three people on your jog, at which point you can cross the road and pass them from 50 feet away, you are fine and no mask needed.

If you are in a crowded city and there will be many people around... wear a mask or better still, wake up very early and go while there are still very few people out.

R30, Virginia Tech is hardly top tier.

I reject your sources and your land-grant university.
