Today we will cover Sheltering in Place and why it was insane. It was quackery without data and as many suspected at the time it could have made the Covid situation much worse.
It was dangerously stupid and it was obvious to so many of us who said that we want to keep our immune systems healthy.
Yet.... we had morons here like nine_ender and gwb telling to lockdown and calling us selfish for keeping ourselves healthy by exercising outdoors. IN California we had moron governor who locked down beaches and hiking trails.
This is how stupid fascists are who lockdown without data..
Reason one...
"But Dr. Sallis points out that the associations in the study were strong. “I think, based on this data,” he says, “we can tell people that walking briskly for half an hour five times a week should help protect them against severe Covid-19.”
A walk — or five — might be especially beneficial for people awaiting their first vaccine, he adds. “I would never suggest that someone who does regular exercise should consider not getting the vaccine. But until they can get it, I think regular exercise is the most important thing they can do to lessen their risk. And doing regular exercise will likely be protective against any new variants, or the next new virus out there.”

More exercise means less risk of developing severe Covid, according to a compelling new study of physical activity and coronavirus hospitalizations. The study, which involved almost 50,000 Californians who developed Covid, found that those who had been the most active before falling ill were the least likely to be hospitalized or die as a result of their illness.
The data were gathered before Covid vaccines became available and do not suggest that exercise can substitute in any way for immunization. But they do intimate that regular exercise — whether it’s going for a swim, walk, run or bike ride — can substantially lower our chances of becoming seriously ill if we do become infected.
....
Then the researchers crosschecked numbers, with arresting results. People in the least-active group, who almost never exercised, wound up hospitalized because of Covid at twice the rate of people in the most-active group, and were subsequently about two-and-a-half times more likely to die. Even compared to people in the somewhat-active group, they were hospitalized about 20 percent more often and were about 30 percent more likely to die.
Of the other common risk factors for severe disease, only advanced age and organ transplants increased the likelihood of hospitalization and mortality from Covid more than being inactive, the scientists found.
Imagine preventing people from getting exercise and natural Vitamin D... with Shelter in Place orders... and being so stupid that you cheered on governments who did that without any data.
