Yep. Thankfully here in Florida Governor DeSantis recognized outdoor exercise as essential to health and we are encouraged to go walking, cycling, etc., but to maintain social distancing while out exercising.
For the elderly, exercise is not just about looking good, it's VITAL to staying healthy. Low-income elderly can't afford expensive inside exercise equipment, but all they need to take a walk outsuide is a pair of sneakers.
Without regular exercise, the elderly are at risk of losing their strength, worsening multiple health conditions (including heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension), and even losing their mobility. Loss of mobility in the elderly usually precipitates a rapid decline in health.
So, those extended "stay inside" orders can literally kill the elderly.
