Speaking of Church:

 He supposedly is a conspiracy theorist that COVID-19 was purposefully released by Chinese, among other right-wing conspiracy theories. 



..and some Russians think it's the Brits' ..Well, according to 'The Sun' http://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11190739/russia-blames-britain-coronavirus-skripal-novichok/

or is it the 'Muricans ? ..

YUP .. My wife is a member of my Church , but not necessarily the most studious member my of the congregation ..  I'm VERY glad of the order..  Cluebat: Russians don't give a sh*t ..  Does you wife follow all your suggestions ? ))

But let's not let this distract us from my question ...   WHO are 'local activists' and how are they appointed ...  ?

So what's for the good of everyone else isn't good for your wife?

Yeah, actually my wife does follow all of my suggestions when it's a matter of life or death. She is an educated and intelligent woman and trusts me that way. Apparently you're a bit out of touch with the general population of Russians. They do give a shit.

As to answering your question of the social activist, who knows but I'd wager it's likely to be some thugs to force compliance. By hook or by crook

Gator's wife worried ( rightly) about him playing Golf ...

I wonder if on some forum somewhere in Russia other ladies are discussing Gator ...

JMO but in your church, practicing what you preach would seem to be the order of the day but, I guess that's just me and BC perhaps.

Gator can speak for himself and I'll not opine whether he is right or wrong but, I know golf as I have played a lot of it. If there was ever a place to practice social distancing with ease, it would be the golf course. The 19th hole would be another matter.

*I* am practising what I preach ...  As far as 'madam' is concerned .. You might be wise to ask:

1/  How far is your place from the sea?

2/ Can you walk there in minutes ?..It;s THAT close ..

3/ Was there any quarantine in place?  ( She was self-isolating ) 

4/ Did she travel alone and keep 2m from anyone you met ?

5/ Would I prefer her to have remained at home ?

I wasn't asking Gator to comment  - nor for YOU to comment on Gator ... I WAS pointing out your selective  duplicity ...

Correct. And we have made many changes to inhibit social gathering (closed the club house and the 19th hole) and prevent direct or indirect contact (rake bunkers with feet, one person per cart if not walk, no wagering).  One change that surprised me is turning the metal cup in each hole upside down (ball is now retrievable without touching side of hole/cup).  I consider these akin to airbags, seat belt, etc. when driving a car. 

Even with these precautions, I am not playing now because of my wife's anxiety.   I continue to use the practice range,  where I provide my own balls for the putting/chipping green.

Isn't being the sole person on the beach social distancing as well?

The beach is difficult to evaluate.  Yes, it would be easy to maintain 6 ft separation however, my experience and from the news clips it appears that people are clustering.  So I guess I don't have an issue with closing them down for now.

On the other hand, I can't see closing large open parks and hiking trails.  There is a lot more risk going to the grocery store than out in the open on trails and open parks.

You attempted to ostracize anyone whom you did not feel practiced social distancing to your standards. Yet, when it comes to your "wife" she has her own standards. Is this because she's Russian or just selfish sunflower spitting beach bunny? It is glaringly obvious whom the man in that relationship is. Then, shut your pie hole about Gators or anyone else's choices.

As supplies become more abundant with manufacturing ramped up, I'm seeing more articles about the value of masks. I've read Asian nations criticize Western nations who have citizens that don't wear masks as the reason infection count is so high. Of course masks work. Medical professionals use them.

I really don't know what all the fuss is about with Gator's golfing habit.  He clearly mentioned the precautions that were being taken in his original post on the subject. I would assume in compliance with state restrictions.

My course started with closing the 19th and the kitchen altogether. Days later, they closed the cart services, walkers only. Within the week of that. the County ordered total closure including ranges, practice facilities including putting greens.

So to take advantage of this, they decided to aerate the greens a little early. Unfortunately, the members fees didn't take a hiatus.

Today all city and county courses, private or public, are closed. Although not completely sure if 100% private courses are complying..

I don't have an issue with it either.  But people do ignore it.  Honolulu closed Waikiki Beach, but tourists just went under the tape.  I believe now, they are imposing large fines for non compliance.

Banff National Park here has been closed.  It's also a major highway, so one can still drive through the park, but no hiking, nor stopping.  Kind of silly.  Even when it's open, most tourists hike a few marked trails, and stick to the townsite.

Gee, I do not know Boe, does she own the beach? Do you know who was there before her or prior? How do you know she was the only one on the beach? Because Miss Beach bunny says so?

No need to attack another poster's wife.  Please refrain from that.

I was going by what moby posted - that no one else is on the beach.

The noted problem in these places Cal, are people who go hiking usually travel in packs. Case in point what they showed at Runyon Canyon recently. Same with beaches. People don't usually go to the beach alone. More times than not clusters of families with children clustering with other kids, etc...Parks, the same thing, especially the big ones that offer places perfect for picnics and barbequing, playgrounds, etc..

Two weeks ago when you posted that phony picture of little to no cars on the road you acted as if everybody was staying inside, and tried to state I was making stuff up.    Clearly that wasn't the case, as the state is now closing down more and more places.   Of course I was right, and you were living in lala land.
