Too many climbers not practicing social separation

Erectile dysfunction is no joke. Especially with quarantine and at home work. Not much else to do. Get a prescription of that Vitamin D...

The low dose Cialis is much better...from what I hear.

Whatever happens, my finger strength will be off the charts! I've never done so much hang-boarding in my entire life. Self quarantine might end up being a huge silver lining for me.

Not true about Italy,

Crags are not closed but we are forced home so, if going to a crag, we risk serious penal consequences if found travelling for no good reason. Result: nobody goes climbing. But orgs are definitely not closed.

I just read the headline...

Atleast there are REI employee telling people there is nothing wrong with traveling to “mountain” towns like North Conway and others that rely on the outdoor industry. Wonder how they feel about this as a company (I sent them an Email)?

Dude, my level of education isnt the issue. Its the people in my life who are at risk. My sister got H1n1, one of those things no one thought was a big deal. it nearly killed her. She is a brilliant neuroscientist and my best friend.  We (collectively as humans) need people like her.

It's not about your ability to fight off COVID 19, it's about slowing the spread by flattening the curve, only possible through social separation.
Bishop is unfortunately being overwhelmed by selfish climbers.

And just who are you to be judging their characters?  You know all these people personally do you?  The article is patently a diatribe, full of sanctimony bolstered by exaggeration and innuendo.

These are hard times, and even dick doctors gotta contribute. The Italians are actually using viagra for sick CoVID patients—it’s a pulmonary vasodilator. 

(On the off chance you weren’t joking, and for anyone else, ED is ER, because it’s a whole department and not a single room)

I might just stick with ER even if it sounds a little TVshow like. 

Had to bust on you though, mainly because in the last week here in this small town Maine we had a PHD who works at a local laboratory send a letter (on lab letterhead)to the town/school explaining how they should be handling this pandemic. He ended up having to apologize to everyone including his employer because he is a statistician and has never studied epidemiology in his life.

I think closing Carbon and Emery as well is beyond pointless. Grand, I totally get. I was just in Moab for work and there were waaaay too many out oft owners who car camp and need to go to the grocery store in their RV every night and could be vectors for town. But Emery? The San Rafael Swell is absolutely massive and I could get so deep in there a ranger couldn't find me if they wanted to. Don't social distance by going to a place like Moab, but somewhere like the Swell is the perfect place. No visitors centers, minimal facilities(which I don't use anyway) and in the middle of nowhere!

Always a good time for that.

Per some BISHOP CA guys blog, the entire Eastside of the Sierra Nevada mountains is closed until all cheap real estate has been bought and the government checks cover the local crushed economy. Random online weirdos are threatening to blockade both directions of 395 highway. And the entire town of Bishop. Plus all boulders and Owens River Gorge. Also don't dare access any public lands, anywhere in America for 30 days. That may be extended to 90 days per the COVID 19 police. You must stay at least 1000 feet apart. No shopping anywhere. No spending money. Barter not OK. Seacrest out. 

Why do you keep posting this in every Covid thread?

S/he is terrified; it's a fear response.

Someone else asking for a wiring diagram for a 2004.  Was replied to with a link to a diagram for a '92 suggesting they are similar.  Might get you somewhere.

Was going to go climbing locally tomorrow. Then I read this article about how we might need to isolate for a year or more.

Tommy Caldwell isn't climbing. I shouldn't be climbing.  

We need stricter rules nationwide ASAP. 

I imagine Honnold is climbing, but that guy can truly social distance.

He seems more into emotional distancing...
