Reply to comment by ImportantRope 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

You know what’s worse for disease then a gym? Sitting at home, eating junk food and being sedentary. That’s what our government promoted. They even discouraged people from going on walks and hikes in the fresh open air.

Just curious where you're from where going on walks or hikes was discouraged?

Moms were being kicked out of parks with their kids by law enforcement. Surfers getting kicked out of the damn ocean. The lockdowns in certain states were absolutely insane. Certain state and local governments were totalitarian in their lockdowns. This was pretty rampant during the beginning months of Covid and into the summer.

Locally at least we had record people hitting the trails in record number. I'm not prepared to defend all local and state government decisions, obviously there's going to be some big mistakes in there. Doesn't make every public health measure wrong
