So, it turns out the lake was insanely crowded last week when I went fishing. We're talking ten times the people you'd find on a normal busy day. Thankfully all my coughing and sneezing made sure I didn't have anyone crowding my fishing spot. Mind you, I always cough and sneeze in late March, because that's when all the cars turn yellow with pollen around here. I wasn't going to tell them that though.

    If it was so crowded, no one has called the government yet to get them to shut down the lake?

      You can fish the entire way around the lake, so any literal rather than relative crowding is simply a matter of someone being an asshat or hanging with someone they'd normally be quarantined with anyway. And I suppose it could count as grocery shopping.

      Well police in the UK dyed a lagoon [cnn.com] black to discourage people going there during the lockdown.

        Sounds healthy for the wildlife. The article says they're hiding treasures in the water too. Greedy bastards!

    You're one of the people saying this is no big deal. Your orange tinted prophet can't be wroooong can he?

    What made you change your mind? The chance to drive people off?
