Silver linings
One of the benefits of the COVID-19 regs is that traffic is way down. For me, this translates into being able to ride my bike on weekdays without the usual weekday traffic. But you may have read a recent study recommending absurd social distancing for those who exercise outdoors. Ignore it.
“The risks of virus transmissibility in the air outdoors is likely quite low in those contexts, although this risk hasn’t been definitively measured,” Rasmussen said. “Outside, things like sunlight, wind, rain, ambient temperature, and humidity can affect virus infectivity and transmissibility, so while we can’t say there’s zero risk, it’s likely low unless you are engaging in activities as part of a large crowd (such as a protest). Solitary outdoor exercise is likely low-risk.”
