Evidence mounts that outside is safer when it comes to COVID-19

Health experts say people are significantly less likely to get coronavirus while outside, a fact that could add momentum to calls to reopen beaches and parks closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Being outside shouldn’t be seen as a completely safe space, health experts say. People should continue to avoid crowds and seek a six-foot distance from other people to stay away from the virus.

But experts are increasingly confident in evidence showing that the coronavirus spreads much more readily indoors than outdoors, a finding that could help guide policy makers seeking to figure out ways to end lockdowns that have shuttered much of the nation’s economy.

“Parks, beaches, as long as they're not cheek to jowl, cycling, walking, this is good,” said Tom Frieden, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Enjoy nature, it’s good for us, and it has very low risk of spreading the virus.”

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Wednesday said state coronavirus figures suggested the state might be able to begin a reopening next week. If it does, he said it would include opening state parks and beaches, and allowing outdoor gym classes and religious services.

Post this on the walls..
If told to sheltet in place...do it outside!
And if during the winter...buy grow and tanning lamps.
Simulate the best possible natural light.

These so called experts...I think really just wanted an agenda, like maybe the more getting sicker..longer...

Yeah, this is a no S#!T Sherlock conclusion from the highly placed scientists that the left worship so much. I mean, they have been so successful with their climate change models and predictions.

Their models and assumptions appear to be based on the New York lifestyle where people travel by the thousands, cheek to cheek, in aluminum tubes. It assumes we all live in the cliff dwellings they call apartments and that we all share the same common hallways, stairways and elevator shafts.

In reality, if they got out of the inner cities and into civilization, those vaunted scientists would discover that people travel in small groups, in their own cars daring even to have the windows down!

They would learn that most of the the masses outside of Gotham live in single family dwellings separated by yards of yards and maybe fences too. Every family member has their own room with cubic yards of clean air and a ventilation system called the wind.

One final insult is that the "scientists" controlling our lives have no clue that the air is fresh and breathable and is constantly supplied by the westerlies that bless all the mountains, valleys and beaches west of the Adirondacks.

But hell, we are just flyover states where they can't find a crisis to go to waste so we have to be forced to share the misery of those city dwelling drones.
