You wish for people to be flogged? This is bringing out the worst in everyone.

My theory is that the virtue signalers are actually the ones who are among the worst culprits. They like to use shaming/bullying/complaining about others as a distraction from their own bad behavior.

Also, is someone charging for this?

Not everyone has the space at home, or the drive to do it on their own. And some of us care about the health and wellbeing of our friends (which includes mental health), so are just trying to help and encourage them to deal in ways that are highly safe and legal.

"I care about my friends so much I want to gather them together during a pandemic and breathe heavily!"

If your mental health is so shaky it will fall apart without gathering a group of friends together to exercise you should seek the support of a therapist. Otherwise, stop using that as an excuse to flaunt the rules the rest of us are following.

NP here. It is not against the law. It's not for you to decide, as much as that might bother you. People still have the right to act, go out, etc within the requirements of the stay-at-home order. People still have certain civil rights as well that have not been removed under these orders. Stop policing other people.

No you do not have the right to do what you want. Once a state of emergency is declared the state has broad powers. Your civil rights are suspended during this time. It’s people like you who are alway the problem. You are totally self absorbed and you will be the first to want all resources when you get sick.

Breath. Read the stay at home orders. What the OP proposes is not against the order at least where I live in Virginia. That may change if the governor changes the order, but as of April 6, a group of people under 10, staying 6 feet apart, not related, exercising, on a place that isn’t closed, isn’t against the order. So no, you don’t get to decide. Look, I am staying home and working out in my basement. I am not sure why you get hysterical and make the insane leap that I am part of the problem, that I want all the resources. Calm down.

People like you are also a problem. You think you are law enforcement, interpret things a certain way based on your opinions, and then try to socially control people, leaving room for your and others biases to take over. No, all of our civil rights are not suspended in national emergency. Not all. The freedom of assembly more than 10, yes. But under, so far no. What part do you not understand? Run for Governor if that’s what you want. But you and Karen don’t get to decide or make a citizens arrest. You decide for you and your family. I decide for mine. We probably are deciding the same thing. That’s how it works until the government changes the order.

I think this is bringing out the hall monitors, but also that some folks are really struggling to manage their anxiety.

Yes, it makes you nervous to see people in public even if they are following the stay-at-home order. That's a feeling, not a fact, and other people are allowed to go about their lives within the letter of the law even if it gives you feelings.

India and China don’t mess around, that’s why they’ve squashed the corona virus while America will have it linger because everyone wants their freedom. GTFO

Says the person who is obviously neither Indian nor Chinese, and has NO idea about the internal politics that go on and inform "policies" that you seem to be ignorantly commending.

The entire point of the order is stay at home unless absolutely necessary. Yes, I know social distancing, which should really be called physical distancing, feels isolating, but can you just at least try to respect the clear line between necessity and desire? I know you're desiring for some semblance of normalcy, but partaking in these types of group exercises is not an necessity. This ain't normal times babe...so please just play your role and avoid non-cohabitant contact as much as possible.

Come on, if you're an attorney then you surely know that if these activities could be easily and expressly banned in plain language. If it wasn't, then it's not prohibited. There is no "spirit of an order" issue here given that the order easily could have been drafted to say stay home, period, or no group exercises or gatherings even if less than 10 people are involved and social distancing is observed.

I just look at the numbers. You think Indians and Chinese are out doing group exercises while their entire nations are on lockdown. Hell to the no. They squashed this mess and we will still be in lockdown until the end of fall

I don't get anxious, I get annoyed at people who think the guidelines don't apply to them. The 6 foot guideline is for when you *don't have a choice* but to be near someone outside your household. Like if you have to pick up a medication from the pharmacy. Intentional, prolonged social interactions are not supposed to be happening. There is some research showing that the virus may spread further than 6 feet. To intentionally hang out around other people puts increases the chances of this continuing to spread. Selfish people who can't just make the sacrifices needed right now will be the reason this drags on and on.

I am annoyed at people who keep insisting that their interpretation of guidelines are the actual law. If it isn’t specifically prohibited it’s allowed. Grow up.

It's not my interpretation, it's the recommendation of experts. https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/03/sorry-hanging-out-while-6-feet-apart-isnt-coronavirus-social-distancing-expert-says.html. You're the one who needs to grow up and toughen up in these hard times. Stop lying to yourself just because you don't want to hear the truth.

The experts recommendations ARE NOT THE LAW. The governor’s order is the law. As much as it gives you anxiety or clearly makes you crazy that other people act within the confines of the law in a way that you disagree with or in a way that goes against some expert you found on the internet, IT’S NOT AGAINST THE LAW. This seems particularly hard for you to comprehend.

People who do everything just short of breaking the law are selfish people putting their own wants over the well-being of others. Everyone who sees you doing it is forming their opinion of you, and it's not good. But go for it.
