Some good science-based guidelines for tailoring your exercise program to best benefit your immune function in the face of our current new medical challenge. (BTW, you ARE all already on an active exercise regime, aren't you?) Follow the hyperlinks in both linked posts for additional/source information:

Also, here is a link to a website that is tracking COVID-19 in real-time. Scroll down for by-country data and note the "Total Cases Per 1 Million Population". Several days ago that number was in the thirties for the US. At 1 PM today (03/21) it has doubled to 67. And while just a reflection of one aspect of a very "imperfect" data set, the current 12% death rate to recovered patients should sound the alarm for everyone who still thinks this is being overblown.
