Walking? Easily?

seoulmetro 3y ago
Where were you during the years 2020-2021? Most places on Earth this restriction was in place for quite some time. And all they had to do was say so.

  I’m unaware of any walking restrictions in my part of the world. I’m very, very skeptical about the “most places” claim.

    Lookup the word "lockdown". It's fairly common. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdowns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdowns

      At least here in SF, walking was explicitly allowed during the lockdowns. As long as you said it's for exercise or for a necessary activity like grocery shopping.

        That's not what was meant by the comment. Walking as a means of transport doesn't exist if you have no legal destination. It's not rocket science. Unsure how many of you are struggling here. Suspending your license doesn't stop you from sitting in, using or driving your car, just stops you from driving it onto the road.... you know, like walking and lockdowns.

        A grocery store is a destination and we were explicitly encouraged to walk there instead of driving. The logic was that driving accidents lead to higher utilization of medical services than walking accidents and we needed to keep capacity free for Covid patients.

      Not all lockdowns included walking restrictions.

        No one said they did. But that's what a lockdown means. It means people aren't allowed to participate in public. Even by means of transports such as walking.

        You can't just say "lockdown means no walking" and somehow imply that the COVID lockdowns that happened redirected walking. That doesn't even make sense, and it seems like you have some ulterior point you aren't making.

        I can mean lockdown means no walking, because that's exactly what happened. You could not walk anywhere. It's not like your legs fell off, you were mandated to not use any form of transport to locations because those locations were prohibited. They in essence removed your license to walk places. If you can't see the simple point in front of you now, you never will. How are you guys still struggling with this? The government does control your freedom of walking as a transport. You can pretend like they didn't and all those empty city photos were just photoshopped or fake news... if you want I guess.

        When and where were you mandated to not use any form of transportation? Based what what I saw, recreational walking increased during lockdown.

You didn't know about lockdowns? >Based what what I saw, recreational walking increased during lockdown. That's because exercise (walking only) was the only thing you were allowed to do. Exercise is not a form of transport though.

  Where were you living that you weren’t allowed outside?? Everywhere I know people would still go on walks, enjoy parks, etc. Just while keeping a distance from each other
