Since yer gonna die and climbing gyms are shutting down, what is the most likely outdoor crag you are going to get coronavirus!?!?!?

How about a real question, like- beyond aid, is chalk a c-19 preventative measure?

Probably the Gunks, Red River Gorge or Rumney in the east, especially if you hang out in the campgrounds, I'd guess. I can't imagine Miguel's not being full of super spreaders.
Edit- Obviously Lincoln Wood, RI and Pway

Doing Robbins right after Hamburger Crack with no gloves or shoes is exactly how I keep my immune system so strong.

By the hammer of Thor! From the title of this forum post, I thought one of our climbing comrades was infected by the COVID-19.

Thoughts and prayers.

I’m thinking Red Rocks I read COVID-19 needs soft ratings good weather and hookers from the bunny ranch to thrive and replicate!!

I should probably stop kissing the chains on my climbs.

Legitimately, though, if someone who actually is informed about infectious diseases/epidemiology has thoughts on the risk of the virus spreading in higher-traffic outdoor environments with sun and fresh air, given appropriate social distancing, compared to familiar indoor environments (eg climbing gym)—I know I’d certainly be interested in hearing those thoughts.

Idk, chapel pond area would not be a good place to go, so so crowded despite being in the middle of nowhere

I would think Bishop’s explosion in popularity with climbing, coupled with the sheer amount of foreign visitors to the town in general (along with Mammoth) that that would be a prime spot for virus introduction/transmission.

Then again, those including myself who spend time at Stoney Point with all the exposure to broken glass and drug paraphernalia, needles, human/animal excrement, abandoned underwear, and other questionable debris that blankets the area should give us some form of immunity...

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
