Coronavirus episode

Appreciate the interview with the public health educator. But please stop pretending thruhiking this season is a matter of personal choice. This is a public health emergency and the president is asking everyone to stay home. Hikers might stay safer in the woods, as you keep saying, but that’s only if they camp alone and stay away from shelters, which almost no one does. But the much more important thing is that hikers will jeopardize towns on the trail as the ATC has warned. You have a platform. Don’r confuse people. It’s outrageous for anyone to thruhike now
