Reply to comment by kidirish in Physical activity before COVID-19 infection is associated with less severe outcomes. In a study of 194,191 adults with COVID-19, those who were consistently inactive were 191% more likely to be hospitalized and 391% more likely to die than those who were consistently active. by glawgii

I’m in a nice mixed space. Suburbs in a mainly red state with blue cities, it was usually a “get outside and exercise because it gives you a better outlook” and the one person that sticks out is my friend’s overweight mother in law arguing saying that they suggest staying inside and not interacting with anyone, which for her condition probably should be the case. Her sons spouted of the same brain numb response and they don’t have her affliction.

That doesn’t seem like someone speaking against being in good health is healthier than not. That’s advocating against unnecessary interactions with people outside your quarantine bubble. Those aren’t contradictory things. Being in shape will help against Covid, and you shouldn’t risk unnecessary exposure.

Yes, but telling people to stay inside and not exercise, and there has been studies into the risk walking outside and its pretty minimal, so more about exercise i would say
