So far this blog has not mentioned enough about the benefits of physical exercise during this time.Obviously the burning of calories can help to prevent the 600 pound problem.But recent studies have also shown that physical exercise can stall or even halt the deterioration of immunity as one ages.People with compromised immune systems are more likely to catch the virus and less likely to survive its ravages.So, continue to do your yoga, aerobic exercises, walking, cycling and even jogging – all at a safe distance from others, of course.The new normal -phase oneThe initial opening from quarantine and isolation should not resemble a herd of horses being let out of their barn in the spring. More likely it will resemble the first skate on a newly frozen pond or lake.Society will have to proceed cautiously from the edge. Probably it will be an extension of measures now in place for essential industries such as food outlets,drug stores and the LCBO. Such locations as gyms,public parks, outdoor recreation areas, shopping areas and construction sites, will probably be opened where proper physical distancing can be maintained. Also, re

staurants and places of worship will each present unique challenges as they open in this first phase. In order to avoid nonessential travel, telework will be encouraged. Meanwhile, schools and youth activities will remain closed. All vulnerable individuals should shelter in place and special precautions will still be needed for those in long term care facilities.For the foreseeable future,the elephants in the room will remain widespread testing and suitable masks to enable workers and customers to operate in a safe environment. This week, two planes, sent to China to pick up loads of masks, returned to Canada empty and one million masks sent from China were found to be defective.best wishes to all,Joe
