I passed a foursome outside at their table playing cards an hour ago. They were around 3 feet away from each other, which is probably fine considering that they're probably years-long neighbors and friends and they're probably either all four exposed to it, or all four not exposed, by now.
No one is suggesting we isolate ourselves inside our homes and not go out for the next few months. If you want to do that, great. If you're sick and feel it's best for everyone else, awesome. Immunocompromised? I get it.
But if you're otherwise healthy, there's no reason why you can't leave your home, get some fresh air and a walk, and interact (at a reasonable distance) with your friends, neighbors, and even golf partners.
The problem with pools isn't just people being IN the pool, which could easily be limited by having swim lanes (a la sports pools). It's people hanging out AT the pool on the lounge chairs in close proximity to each other.
