How do you decide whether you and your loved ones can go hiking, beaching or swimming? A doctor offers guidance, beginning with some facts that we actually do know.

Editor's Note — Editor's Note — The views expressed in this commentary are solely those of the writer. CNN is showcasing the work of

On one hand, there is too much information, some of it conflicting and much of it infused with political ideology. On the other, there is a lack of information -- the"novel" in novel coronavirus means it's new and there is much we don't know. While it remains as true as ever that there are tremendous benefits to going outside these days, it's also true there are risks to yourself and to others in doing so.

Also, at least one preprint study, which has not been peer-reviewed, found that the risk of outdoor exposure is much less than that indoors. The quarantine bubble is shorthand for a small group of friends you may choose to get together with who have followed social distancing guidelines and whom you know to be healthy. The safety of your bubble, however, is only as good as the agreement between members to follow safety precautions outside the bubble.How will you get there?

ChrisCuomo No it’s not safe to go in the pool but according to CNN and all the Democrat media controlled by the Chinese government to promote communism it is safe to go out in the streets steal damage buildings and start fires then you’re OK you will not catch the Democrat COVID-19

ChrisCuomo 😂

ThoughtsOfTony Go ask these folks, they seem to have it figured out. Sadly the community spread spurred by these close proximity protests & riots is likely to lead to more black deaths than police have caused in 2 decades. Most tragic self-own in history....

CNN: Social distancing will be overlooked as long as you are stealing umbrellas and turning over hot dog carts.

Let scared ones stay their ass at home!😂😂😂

As soon as you glorified all the rioting and looting

CNN gets beat senseless every time they post something. No wonder their ratings are in the basement.

ChrisCuomo I usually spend many summer days at Lake Pleasant in Arizona to cool off from 100 degree heat. People there are already great as far as respecting your shoreline space. Social distancing shouldn't be a problem there. So I would say yes, I am ready for summer fun! 🌞

Simple. If all the rioters r out & not getting sick then you can do/go anywhere you want.

Those questions have been squashed by the media’s encouragement of thousands of protestors crowded together without any questions about whether they are endangering the public health and safety by congregating in large groups.

ChrisCuomo

That’s why you can’t believe cnn. They tell you different things everyday. They just report the narrative issued by the dnc

Personally I use my FREEDOM to make that decision! Asshats

For real? We’re still selectively discussing this silliness?

just go start a riot. it seems to be pretty safe.

Everyone can go anywhere and do anything they like. They just need to identify as 'protestors'. We've now seen that Covid-19 was a scam. If it was truly a deadly virus that can kill millions democratic governors and mayors would not have encourage people to protest in thousands.

Covid is gone. I'll decided what I want to do based on what I want to do.

Have to riot and loot apparently first and it will go away

ChrisCuomo I like pretty woman who are topless, just something about them. I came hear to say you are an idiot. Protesters are not allowed to riot. I want to ask, are you really this stupid or are you working for the insurgency?

Well close to 0% of cases were due to outdoor transmission. Maybe start with that case.

What a JOKE

Did the rioters and looters read these guidelines before destroying American cities?

Is this a joke?

What a joke. NOW we get to “decide”.

'FACTS'

Lmfao. This has to be a parody account.

If you can get together with. 1000 of your buddies to riot and loot and destroy the city - I pretty sure you can go to the fucking pool or beach with your family!!! Covid huge lie to fit the left narrative and this is just more civil unrest to derail the Trump administration.

You don’t ask, you just do it! Cut the bullshit!

Let me answer this for ya: Sure, it’s safe to do. If you are white.

We trust you C (communist) N (narcissit) N (network)

The same CNN that condones the 'peaceful' riots... FakeNews

After the “peaceful” events applauded by CNN this week involving mass gatherings...you can take your Covid message and shove it! I’ll take my chances.

Haha the irony When u realise the black lives matter more than ur pandemic propaganda

I do what I want! It’s a FREE COUNTRY!

We need Fauci to tell the protesters to protest via Zoom. 'No looting until there is a COVID-19 cure!'

Answer: Are you a Democrat fighting The Man? Enjoy. Otherwise stay locked down you racist.

If you can riot and loot you can go to the beach.

RUFKM? It’s safe if nobody is burning your neighborhood down. If they are, stay home until they’ve left.

People are still biting into this COVID19 stuff? It’s not evident it was just a fear and control tactic?

You start by asking yourself if you're 90+ years old or have a severely compromised immune system. If you answer no to both of those questions, you go.

Turn on your TV to CNN and watch the pride they show for 1000's of people packing together in riots. That should give you a pretty good tip it's safe to hike with your family. Also it's a good tip that this article and CNN are full of shit!

I think the beach is prob ok

cnnistrash you give up your fake narrative that going outside kills grandma as soon as you can race bait. Pathetic

You can't really be starting this crap again. After the last week? What a joke.

Why is that a photo of a white woman at the beach? And why are you asking if she goes hiking, beaching or swimming? Would you ask that if she were black, do you assume certain things with that question? Are you being a racist? Aren't we all equal Why CNN ARE YOU BEING RACIST

I would say, just go hiking, beaching or swimming.

Loool really ? Its not safe to go to the beach but really safe to protest ? Pathet and. Sad

I start by not trusting anyone who you have on.

Best option, turn off the 'news' and go about your day(s).

How about looting, rioting, and rampaging? Will your doctor offer guidance on those too?

I thought June would start a new season of this show but it seems we're in repeats. When do the new episodes with the murder hornets start?

Well, if they are going to loot and assault people, it's probably ok to go. If they are going to exercise or talk to friends that would be irresponsible.

In NYC it is apparently safe to take things from stores, but illegal to pay for them. Thanks Mayor DeBlasio and Governor Cuomo, great work!

🖕 that doctor. I decide on my OWN

You can go now, the Biden, Pelosi and Schumer Savages have declared the China Virus is gone.

Is this real life right now?😂

This is beyond parody. CNN is losing the narrative with the rioting and looting, do it's back to pandemic fear porn.

I think it has always been safe.

Lol. Boy CNN. Talk about coddling your kids! Go where ever and whenever tf you want!!!! Stop listening to this madness CNN spews!

How do I decide if I can go loot?

Just put a shirt on that reads “I am protesting”. They will let you go wherever you want. No questions asked.

I’m going to skip on that guidance because coronavirus is a load of shit for heathly people

Who actually takes news from CNN and believes any of it?

Is it safe to go to a riot?

LMAOOOOOOOOOO yea, no one cares anymore. Didn't you get the message? Pandemic is over. Party time!

“How do you decide whether you and your loved ones can go hiking, rioting, looting, vandalizing, beaching or swimming?”

Funny i see all these protesters damn near climbing on top of each other for several day and not one new reported case of COVID-19 on the news. Kinda like it was all some bullsit Democratic fear that was spread

Seriously? There are literally terrorists, thugs, and criminals looting in every major liberal city with impunity. If you can go outside to loot and riot, you can go outside to vote and have fun with your kids and go swimming and go to the beaches and whatever.

To me, it’s easy…based on the fact thousands are rioting/looting and some protesting, while not social distancing, it’s safe to say we can do whatever we want.

Pound sand.

Because it's not a nursing home

The mask is hyperbolic.

Just follow the crowd

The only permissible activity is looting

Corona Virus is cancelled . The Democrats want people to riot and attack black cops.

😂🤣😂🤣😂 Blow me.

These protests crushed whatever narrative you guys were trying to push about Covid. Summer 2020 is going to be just like any other summer.

Why go hiking, beaching, or swimming when you can go looting and CNN will hail you as a coronavirus immune hero!

I decide by checking the weather..

Is hiking the same as rioting ?

It’s like NOBODY cares about fake and worse EVERYONE thinks your opinions are horse 💩. EnemyOfThePeople

Rioting is a prophylactic against COVID-19.

ellamaebg The short answer is No one is 'safe' until if and when there is a vaccine

Look at whts happening in our country. You can go to the fucking beach. Corona aint shit

I hope these looters are drowning in their pneumonia next week

How do you decide whether you and your loved ones can go rioting, burn cars or loot stores? A doctor offers guidance, beginning with some facts that we actually do know.

Is it safe to walk in a crowd? All depends on your shirt doesn't it AC360

At least rioting and looting have been ok'd.

I thought coronavirus was over? Isn’t there guidance for protesting in large masses?

If it's safe to riot then it's safe to hit the beach.

If it’s safe to gather and riot it’s safe for a pool and a beach.

The media declared COVID over. I thought it was OK to no longer social distance. ?
