I dislike this comment because it's such a 'well DUH' thing. Obviously OP isn't suggesting people break the law or quarantine, he's suggesting they go for a run if they have access. Treadmills are not outlawed anywhere to my understanding. Context folks, people might also be triggered if they are physically unable to run, but OP isn't it to them, he's suggesting an excellent way to stay sane and physically fit if you have the ability.

I don't know why these two comments bothered me so much, I guess I generally expect better discussion from the community.

ON TOPIC, Cool site, I got a chuckle out of the link, information was presented nicely, I felt like there was enough content without overwhelming me while still having enough to keep me entertained.

As someone who is not able to run, the comment made me feel sad for a few seconds, but I am used to that feeling since I feel it every time I see someone jogging down the street. I am lucky that I can still ride my bike for that cardio fix. It's been a process to try to be happy about the things I can do instead of focusing on the things I can't.
Congratulations on your healthy strategy for dealing with this, and, as a fellow cardio addict, I am deeply sorry for your loss of this vital activity.
