Same goes for you going to take out the trash, but it assumes you aren't some frustrated guy who's going to head out every five minutes or wander toward a dumpster 1.2 miles "miles away because the sign didn't specify exactly where I should drop this." Unfortunately, people here get frustrated way too easily.
Oh, wow, hahaha! Thanks for that, I really had a good laugh! No, seriously, so apparently someone in isolation is allowed to go out just because a dog might poop in the park? So the whole "epic battle to contain the epidemic" isn't actually based on any kind of logic then? Is it just "The virus is spreading, lock everything down!" one minute, and then total nonsense the next? If they get to go out, everyone gets to go out. Dogs can poop, sure, but humans should be allowed to maintain their sanity or whatever. You can always find a reason, right? "Oh, look at the little doggy pooping, hahaha!" And what if it actually *was* Armageddon outside? Would the dog even bother pooping? Can a dog even poop in an enclosed space? Look, let's be clear: I have a pet too, but if it were truly dangerous outside, my wife would be the one leading the charge to take them out for a bathroom break. It's not dangerous, and I don't think someone in isolation walking outdoors is going to cause some massive catastrophe. I'm just pointing this out to highlight how absurd this all is. If we're obsessing over where a dog leaves its business, why aren't we worrying about the well-being of children? Is someone actually going to drop dead just because a kid takes a quick stroll a little ways down the street?
