Please, don't do anything dangerous during the next few weeks. Riding MC's, hiking,,(yeah, I know) driving fast, even working in your yard or garage.
There are no beds for emergencies other than life saving measures. And you know the rest.
You may have to sit there with a broken leg for days.
It would not be a good idea to need ER care right now & in the next few weeks, at all. Be careful, people!

                                        Life is dangerous & then we die. Some places have a higher life expectancy due to the elimination of danger. Others succumb to danger & enhance it with war. We are "THE virus with shoes" & 7,500,000,000. Nature does fight back. I burden this world with no spawn & I feel for those that do.

                                        In the UK, the government said that you could go out for an hours exercise, close to home , each day. I have never seen so many mad cyclists on the roads for years. Obviously people who had nevver riden a bike on the roads for years, and had no idea how to ride safely.

                                        Here in VA in the US - I saw gas for $1.39 a gallon (you’ll have to do the exchange rate)! I’d paid $4.28 a gallon during the last recession. So, everyone who can drive - apparently is! Was on my motorcycle today, taking the long way on a couple of errands. But it’s nuts around here!
Yes, I think that's part of the reasoning behind our mayor's "stay at home" order and curfew here on my small island. Fewer car crashes, hiking injuries, and such at our hospital which has such few resources. They say just since the curfew was implemented our emergency room trauma cases are down 40%.

                                        Excellent. Today I saw people riding motorcycles and heard chain saws running. One accident and they get no hospital room and no doctor.
@PondartIncbendog Some men must make noise in everything they do. Sound nazis.
