Staying active is probably good for your immune system. At least that's how I'm going to rationalize it :)

- earthtourist 7y agoThis is just what the science tells us, no rationalization required! Everyone should exercise, sleep, and eat right to prepare for the coming battle inside our bodies :)
- jeltz 7y agoHeavy exercise is bad for the immune system short term. But maintaining your health with lighter sessions is probably a good idea.
- pmoriarty 7y agoYes, but you don't have to go outside to exercise. Plenty of exercise can be done indoors, and without any equipment either. You could do bodyweight exercise like push-ups, L-sits, burpees, and many others without any equipment. For a small investment you could get a couple of barbells or a pull-up bar to extend even further the number of exercises you can do indoors and in a very small space.
- localhost 7y agoJeff Cavaliere just released an excellent home training program that doesn't require any specialized equipment. He does an amazing job at explaining why you should do each exercise and provides variations for different levels of ability. The video description contains details of the program, sets & reps. Highly recommended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc1E5CfRfos&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc1E5CfRfos&t=1s
- spookthesunset 7y agoOr go outside and exercise without feeling guilty. Being outside is important to your mental and physical health.
- tekknik 7y agoGoing outside could also be detrimental to your health. Humans are not so weak they can’t stay inside for a few weeks. Please do us all a favor and take this seriously. I promise you won’t die from staying inside for 3 weeks.
- tanseydavid 7y agoThe order says that one can go outside.
- tekknik 7y agoSame response as the other one you commented on.
- DoofusOfDeath 7y ago> Staying active is probably good for your immune system. At least that's how I'm going to rationalize it :) If we're facing a serious medical crisis, please don't rationalize any potentially risky behavior. Use your best dispassionate judgement instead.
- spookthesunset 7y agoI’m glad your comment is being downvoted. Panicking, moralizing commentary like yours does absolutely no good to anybody and just stokes people’s fear.
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoThe main focus of my comment was this: If you catch yourself rationalizing, it's a sign that something is suspect in your thinking process. Deciding to ignore those misgivings is foolish, especially in important matters. Deciding which particular activities are too risky in this situation is left as an exercise to the reader. > Panicking, moralizing commentary like yours does absolutely no good to anybody and just stokes people’s fear. My comment was not panicking. However, if advocating that adults think clearly and avoid rationalization counts as "moralizing", then guilty as charged.
- tekknik 7y agoPeople not taking this seriously and staying inside is what causes this to spread. Putting yourself in risky situations does no good to anyone either and just creates a better environment for a virus to propagate.
- tanseydavid 7y agoThe order says that one can go outside -- why are you trying to contradict that?
- tekknik 7y agoWhy are you trying risky behavior? Is it so hard to stay indoors to avoid spreading the virus further? Do we focus on doing the bare minimum here?
