I'm currently walking every day to build my strength back. Tell me again exactly what's wrong with that.

I stated plain and simple that it is believed the virus can be spread up to 2 weeks (14 days) after symptoms end citing the report for Live Science from China and the study done there on recovered patients. The report states they are unlikely to be highly contagious after this period. That is what is known at the moment. I deeply resent you telling me I am spreading misinformation - I have not. I'm owed an apology for that. That is dreadful.

Usually you'd only come across a couple of people on most of my routes, but everywhere extremely busy at the moment and people have always been ignorant with taking up paths when walking, using their buggies as weapons etc that hasn't changed a huge amount.
rainbow kirby wrote: » Not a bog, I live in England so checking NHS advice and they haven't really said anything. I'm just going with starting with short, slow walking, like I'm a completely inactive person starting out. This suits when I'm bringing my kids out for a walk as 4 year olds do like to stop and smell the flowers! At the moment I'm not really sweating, not even breathing hard as it's an overall constitutional fatigue that's the limiting factor. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment so the kids need to go out for a local walk every day or they will go absolutely nuts. I think next week I may start doing some YouTube yoga in my sitting room, or at the very least encouraging my kids to do Cosmic Kids and joining in with them!

stockshares wrote: » It might be no harm to contact HSE in Ireland or an Irish Journalist and ask them to ask the question. I would not rely on advice from the NHS. The UK has been very careless in their approach to Covid 19. They only self isolate for 7 days for example. There's also a risk of relapse. There's no proof that getting it once gives you immunity to it. I also think you should let people know you have had it in advance. I don't think it's fair on others not to. If I had a bad dose of flu(bed for 2 weeks) it would take me 2 weeks to recover. The risk of relapse during those 2 weeks is high. This is a new virus so research data is limited but I imagine a relapse from this is possible and if you catch it a second time but now in a weakened state it could be dangerous. I think you are taking an unnecessary risk with exercising until you get advice from Doctors.

RacoonQueen wrote: » Where did I say I expect people to do that? I expect people to have manners and manners in general from pedestrians can be very poor when they are in groups/with children/with dogs and even sometimes on their own they'll blindly walk in the middle of a path not leaving anyone else space to pass be they walking or running. A topic which comes up on this forum often.

Take it easy, don't get offended, I'm reading this thread and taking all the points and teaching the kids to stay very very clear of all joggers. We've abandoned our normal route in to the park to play in the fields and use a new one over rough ground because of pinch points and to give joggers the tarmac.
average_runner wrote: » I have kids but am also a runner. Even before the virus, if you saw a family with a buggy or kids on scooters or bikes, I would just move out of their way. Same way I would expect a family to give way to one person at a gate. This is all common sense that was there before the virus

robinph wrote: » Which advice would that be then? Other than "take it easy and only do as much as you can manage" you won't find any other advice on recovery from this virus, and that would be pretty much exactly the same advice that you'll be giving on recovering from any other virus, or any other condition of any kind that has you out of action for a while... well maybe broken bones might add in some physio advice but it's still essentially "take it easy". What part of going for a walk and smelling the flowers along the way is anything other than taking it easy.
