Can anybody explain how me camping 50 feet away from another family outdoors is anywhere near an considered risk?
At this point I agree to some extent some things can be opened up.
But understand the virus is spread through human interaction. It can also be spread by people who don't realize they are spreading it..
When you go camping you will have at least 1 interaction along the way.
Be it checking in,getting gas,getting food,getting firewood somewhere in the process you will have an encounter with someone else. Apply that thinking to everyone in the campground. Every camper had at least one encounter during related to that trip. Add in the idea that you may have brought the virus from your community Dillsburg,PA and spread it to my community Ellicott City Md via the firewood guy or some other mutually encountered person!
Now we can think that is all far fetched except the virus spread from Wuhan, China to the entire world one interaction at a time....None of those interactions were deliberately or intentionally done to spread the virus but they did.
Now at this point I can agree to open things up somewhat, The spread is not as bad as we feared and the hospitals except for NYC are generally not overwhelmed. However there is a risk to associated with allowing camping that is real and not imagined.
