This thread has no purpose whatsoever except to make a few of you, and especially Cormanus, laugh. Admins should feel free to delete it at any point.

I hope you all are maintaining 6' of distance between you and any other human being, but more important, maintaining a similar distance (a little less in The Ferret's case) between your head and the pavement.

Be well.

Matt

Yesterday afternoon, I went for a ride in the Oakland / Berkeley hills, one of my favorite loops: Wildcat - Grizzly Peak - Skyline - Pinehurst. Stunning views of the Bay, goes right through a myriad of trail heads in the reginal parks / open space. It was a mad house of cars going too fast, overflowing parking lots and hikers on the roads, dogs running loose - general chaos where it is usually pretty quiet. So this is where all the people went! I'll have to avoid the area for purposes of motorcycling for a while.

First day of supposed to be working from home. Spent the first 20 minutes lamenting that I left my good coffee at the office.

Then, went down a YouTube rabbit hole, and I’m now just watching videos of hot wheel cars going down a race track. It’s quite mesmerizing: http://www.3dbotmaker.com

Getting ready to ride in about an hour.

Yesterday the Governor put us on a mandatory Stay At Home order effective from 11:59 tonight until April 6. However in that order, you are allowed to exercise: walk, jog, run, "bike" or walk your dog. I figure riding my bike is certainly within the context of those rules as it is my only form of exercise.

You are also allowed to go to the grocery. Wife and I did that this morning. Our local Kroger's grocery started a "senior hour" from 7am-8am on Monday's, so that seniors might be able to get supplies they need. Today was the first day. We figured not too many would know about it yet and we'd share the store with a few other couples. HA! My wife and I got there at 7 and seniors, many wearing masks, were lined up out front standing in the rain, waiting to go in. We almost turned around and went back home, but the line was beginning to move so we got in line.The Governor's order must have put every senior in the county in a panic. Inside was a mad house. TP was gone by 7:15, eggs by 7:20, bread by 7:25. You couldn't get near the meat counters. People rushing to get stuff, going every direction. Cart jams at the end of every isle. There were 13 check out lines with at least 10 carts in every one of them trying to check out. What a fun time. NOT.

Looks like entire coronavirus family was ran over and instantly killed when jay walking

because there are no resources for such unnecessary possible accident victims

[the Ferret]

Are you allowed to walk, jog, ride a bicycle or walk your dog in Belgium?

Never mind.. I see they are allowed same as here

https://www.euractiv.com/section/coronav...l-5-april/

"Outdoor sports activities, such as walking, jogging or cycling, are allowed, but if there are two persons involved, the accompanying person must be someone who lives under the same roof. Care should be taken to maintain 1.5m distance from other people."

I assume walkers, joggers and bicyclists are sometimes accident victims and need medical attention too. I fail to see the difference.
