People are just nuts. I have never in my 22 years in this house seen as many people using the Columbia Trail as the last two weeks or so. It's become a walking rave party on a 10' wide old RR bed. Not exactly social distancing by any stretch of the imagination.
The good news is that our WMAs remain open for now. Turkey season is fast approaching.

The trouble is, natural selection may not prevail. That person out not practicing social distancing may simply carry it to one of us and it kills us. I could care less if your own actions only affected you, but when your actions affect the rest of us and are life and death, the rules change. Be thankful we don't live in the Philippines. Duterte has ordered a shoot to kill for anyone on the streets let alone trying to fish for an hour.

Natural selection always prevails.
It doesn't care if we approve of the selection process.

And...Boom goes the dynamite.
I mountain bike in Ringwood State Park. I normally don't see anyone when I go out for a ride, but over the past 3 weeks I've seen more people wandering around the woods than I have in 25 years of riding back there. Not just on the trails either, people bush-wacking through the woods, collecting all the ticks (dumb-asses). I've also seen people about 4 miles into the trails at quarter to 6 at night, hope they brought flashlights. Shutting everything down was a matter of time, but at least we have the WMA's, and I have one nearby that I can ride at also.
This virus is with us to stay, its going to be a seasonal occurrence. I'm sure they'll have a vaccine of some sort within the next 2 years, since destroying the economy every time it comes around isn't a sustainable response. Even when a vaccine is available, it will probably still kill 8-20k people in the US every year, just like the flu does now.

When I was growing up in the '50s, the only vaccine in regular use was for smallpox (a polio vaccine came a little later).
Measles, mumps, and chicken pox were often called "the childhood diseases". Just about everybody got them sometime before puberty, and thanks to eons of natural selection, most people survived, and never got them again.
In the case of mumps and German measles (rubella), it was worse to get them as an adult, than as a child.
Now, as an old phart who's paying the price for 60 years of cigars, and 56 years of Bourbon, I have to be more careful, but that's just a personal preference. Natural selection doesn't give a s***.

To say the least, I’m very disappointed.
How does a trip with a fly rod into a secluded public forest become an issue here?
Next thing, they’re gonna close the Vince Lombardi Rest Stop, and life as we know it will be over.
