runners: please stay away from me

I agree you can only take care of yourself, but watch out if you get that close to me while you're panting and sweating. If you don't care about anyone but yourself, don't be surprised when others don't care about you. I will do something about it if you get in my space.

You aren’t going to catch coronavirus in the fraction of a second the runner is near you.

If you think a person with the lung strength to maintain that level of cardio passing you for a tiny fraction of a second in the open air will make you sick from 3-4feet away, what were you like before? Do you even remember?

You know more than the doctors and scientists, apparently.

Okay, it's possible but vanishingly unlikely.

We actually have no idea, but if they happen to cough, it’s game over.

Because if you were likely to, EVERYONE would have it at this point. It's not measles.

I think someone panting and sweating is way more likely to hit me with their droplets than someone just walking calmly by.

Found the internet tough gal. Can't recommend attacking strangers, really can't recommend attacking those likely fitter than you.

If you feel that way, you are welcome to stay home. Unfortunately you don't get to claim the whole sidewalk. I'm sure your neighbors would be willing to drop off groceries for you.

It’s airborne 3 hours after a cough. And we have no idea how many people have it.

Runners are arrested in Italy bc of this same attitude. Why not follow the rules, be courteous, and not ruin it for us runners who do give pedestrians a wide berth.

Look, I know you need fodder to keep your anxiety wheels running, but you clearly don't understand how minuscule this is. About as minuscule as catching COVID from staying locked in your home, but opening a window.

I had the flu 6 years ago, and it had no effect on my lugs like COVID 19 does. It started like this:

- sunday runday, let's go!
- (7 minutes in) omg what's wrong with me I feel like I've been hit by a big truck
- regular flu symptoms come on rapidly, aches, chills, fever, etc.

This coronavirus situation is clearly a lungs/breathing thing. I know you're not a runner nor have ever been one, but I cannot imagine running 1 minute with it, if my body reacted so quickly to having the flu (w/ zero respiratory effect)

Stop clinging to your anxiety like it's a warm comfort blanket. Or just stay home (where you can't eliminate all risk to 100.00000000%). Or just admit what you really dislike is cooties.

So then someone walking that path 3 hours before you could put you at risk.

I think with your anxiety, this is clearly a problem you need to deal with yourself.
