When are you going to get your hair cut?

When exactly will you feel safe having a stranger touch you and enter your "personal space"? Manicures/pedicures? Spa treatments, massages?

Do you ever intend to visit another doctor? Dentist? Eye exam? Has your vision changed and what do you intend to do to address it if it has? How about dental cleaning?

When can children play together again? Attend class in person? Play sports? Act in plays? Play in bands? Dance together? Can colleges resume classes? Dining halls open? Dormitories?

Is air travel safe? How about cruise ships/ferries/water taxis? Can you attend a professional sporting event in a stadium or arena? When can amusement parks and national parks open? How about beaches?

Restaurants? Are they viable business models with only one third of their tables open due to social distancing guidelines? How about bars? Live theatre?

These questions are literally endless...
When a preventative vaccine is readily available.

I can see it now. The pools reopen and all are playing nice by maintaining proper social distancing. Someone sneezes and everyone jumps into the pool at the same time!

Ha ha! Or the reverse... someone in the pool sneezes and there's a rush for the steps.

Highly unlikely just one virus is enough, there is a minimum viral load and exposure time element. That's evident by how fast it spreads in enclosed spaces with common recirculated air.

I'm not aware of any case traced back to exposure outside. Maintain distance outside is even lower risk due to constant exchange of fresh air. Continuing golf with no reported instances may be further evidence of the risk reduction when outside.

Surfaces are a different story. Wash your hands, do not touch your face.

There is also not 6 feet distance for walkers in the sports pools and certainly not in the neighborhood pools. It is like passing people in the aisles in a grocery store only without masks on.
My experience is based on going to an adult pool near my home. I don’t think you are supposed to do laps in an adult pool. Plus I personally know the small number of people that used the pool in the mornings I would be there, and they all are responsible considerate adults!

You are correct.....swimming laps in a neighborhood pool is not permitted, although I have seen a couple of people who swim laps in our neighborhood pool. I don't really frequent the neighborhood pool as I am a swimmer and go to the sports pools. I was referring to folks who walk in neighborhood pools. Social distancing is not a option because only half the pool is walkable. The other half is too deep to walk so walkers wind up close to each other.

Yep blame it on people who pay their taxes, maintain, their homes, own more than one residence, usually with a lake, vacate TV so you have less people and only leave a small footprint for less than 6 months a year.

I REALLY MISS SWIMMING:pray::pray: But I think once the pools open I will be swimming in pools with very very few people in the pool area. I may even wait until June or July, unfortunately. I do love swimming.

Recent lab studies carried out by the agency at the U.S. Army’s biosecurity laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md.

"This finding applied to the virus in contact with nonporous surfaces such as door handles. Adding in sunlight, the virus’s half-life decreases from six hours to two minutes at temperatures from 70 to 75 degrees and humidity of 80 percent. “That’s how much of an impact UV rays has on the virus,” Bryan said.

The laboratory experiment also tested how the virus decays when exposed to various elements while suspended in the air. When the airborne virus at temperatures between 70 and 75 degrees is exposed to sunlight, its half-life decreases from around 60 minutes before exposure to 1.5 minutes after.

Bryan summarized: “Within the conditions we’ve tested to date, the virus in droplets of saliva survives best in indoors and dry conditions. … The virus dies quickest in the presence of direct sunlight.”

I personally hope all the pools open soon. Since people couldn't be considerate at some of the pools previously, perhaps it should be a 10 person limit, each person limited to one half hour so more can participate-half hour shifts. It may mean the "walkers" will have to change their routines so all 10 can be in the pool if they desire. Hopefully 2-4 weeks at most, we won't need any limitations.

Just curious, where does it say swimming laps in a swimming pool is not permitted. i can tell you where it says walking clubs in a pool are not permitted.......Imagine, most swimmers swim laps in a neighborhood pool for about 15 - 20 minutes and Ive seen
walkers in pools for over 2 hrs and never leave for a p..... break...
