7. Agreed. I'd put it more on "let me take up running..." a new runner whose body said "hey now."

I'm seeing a lot of people out there for whom running seems like a new thing. Good for them, I say. Everybody who can SHOULD run - best pound-for-pound cardio you can do on a consistent basis for almost nothing.

That said, all the newbies out there are realizing that it's not so easy as all that. A guy who doubles over coughing is probably just hitting a new limit. Still wise to avoid droplets, of course, but somebody coughing that much from COVID would probably not be making it well enough to even be mistaken for a runner.

I agree. Tell me where I said I was going to call 911? C Moon May 2020 #21
