@BreakForTheLight, yeah, I read that and thought the same. It's not right to scold people like that when there are many factors that may make it hard to exercise right now. The first lockdown here gave no allowances to be able to exercise except for a half hour dog walk and that meant you used up one of your two permits to go out for the week. After a while of that, we bought a stationary bike, but not everyone can afford to buy exercise equipment or has the space for it. Now there are special time bands where you can exercise near your house without using a permit, but they are not convenient for everyone and they are pretty early in the morning when it's cool and dark. We are having these weird days where it's about 5 C for the low and 31 for the high. The exercise bands 7-8:30 AM certain days, and 6-9 AM other days. I have to start work around 8-8:30 and before then it is the coldest time of the day and still pretty dark. There are some areas where it's not exactly even safe to be wandering around at 6-7 in the morning.


I don't always get the humor programs here, but the other night my husband was watching a skit with a guy impersonating the president that made me laugh. One part was making fun of his connection to the casinos. He was using a roulette wheel to decide what areas entered into or were moved out of lockdown. He would say, Puente Alto, should they stay in quarantine or not? If it lands on red, quarantine, if it's black they go to phase two! Honestly, it feels like they are using a roulette wheel to make decisions a lot of time.

Lockdown was renewed for the whole region. We are at four weeks today in my municipality. About two months ago, the Health Minister said they would not last more than four weeks. But, you clearly can't trust him.
