Perhaps if a few more did they would not suffer as much as they protray to I crawl around the garden on painkillers but I won't stop to each there own I sure not going to stay indoors wallowing in self pity

Not in this current heat wave, and I sincerely hope the postladies- and gentlemen as well as district nurses and bus / taxi / delivery drivers are keeping extremely safe, I have the utmost empathy for them right now!

Not everyone should be outside though, too many racists, loudmouths and bigots around, it's just not as safe as it used to be.

Unless you are a real minority, I am talking little to no intersections, your comment is but a tiny droplet in an ocean of hatred, but all good my friend, you do you. ;-)

Should humans be allowed anywhere? They ruin everything! š

Please calm down people! It's just meant to be a bit of craic and Whatthe poses an interesting question.
If people aren't allowed out, how will anyone ensure people stay in?
Eloin and Bozo have plans to fill the skies with delivery drones and they could solve that problem. But they'd need to be heavily armed in case they saw anyone breaking the rule about being outside. They just aren't available quite yet.
Holding everyone housebound would reduce road fatalities and skin cancer, just to mention two obvious benefits.
Religious cults (and Freemasons etc) could "meet" online. Schools etc too.
Medical interventions might be more subtle, until we train some robots.
Pubs, nightclubs and festivals would all be far safer if no-one (including the artists) attended them.
No more airplane catastrophes, which might also help reduce international terrorism. Air pollution would fall dramatically if we all stopped flying, driving, boating, etc. This could also make all those pesky UFOs easier to spot.
All things considered yes, certainly, I think the world would be a much better place if nobody went outside. But I think the world would likely be healthier if we got rid of all the mammals including us.
Sadly neither thing is likely to happen within my lifetime, which is kind of ironic. Good luck all

I certainly wouldn't want to be young now. I sometimes pity niece and nephew.
It's reasonably likely we'll figure out solving the complications we so consistently create, and I'm sure whatever happens will be interesting.
Together we can work things out, which is just one of the tings that make us special!

I love being outside whenever I am able to.
I live in a beautiful place by the seaside and I consider myself lucky to get out and enjoy it.
People pay a lot of money to holiday here.

I would never let my human go out on their own, don't know what they might get up to, and have you ever seen the damage feral humans do to the wildlife and environment?!

No one will ever stop me from going out and trying to enjoy my life when I am able to.

Not long back from 9 mile walk with Staffordshire Gus (He's actually from Cumbria).
For all you would know from my outings, humans really are banned from going out!
We saw Roe deer, rabbits, Tawny owls, foxes, mice, bats, buzzards; not to mention many varieties of moth.

It's almost like you reached into my brain and plucked the thought out.

I find it interesting that the only place I've encountered anti-autistic hate speech out in public was on buses in London. I've also only ever been interrogated on why I have a bus pass when I was studying in the south-east. I ride my bus here pretty much daily - I have never been asked by anyone why I have a pass. Our bus is so infrequent it's basically a community bus - people know each other, if someone is lost, the whole bus steps in to help them find their stop. The passengers that use it come from all range of ethnic groups, ages, disabilitiesā¦but absolutely nobody hates on anyone else. It's really nice.
As for not going outside, I would actually die if I didn't have access to nature. That's my sensory safe place, and spending time in the garden has such a positive impact on my mental health when things are stressful.
I also find heatwaves traumatic for the same reason - aside killing my poor plants, it means I can't get outside enough, and I also can't cool my room, which is a panic trigger for me. So the last week or so was hard - I was actually glad to be at work on Saturday because it got me away from the worst of it.
But yeah. There are some humans that should not be outsideā¦those who chase pigeons, stamp on bugs, tear down tree branches, drop litter, park on verges and let their dogs run riot off lead. But that doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't be :)

I could have written your last paragraph! Although I can take it too far, I have sometimes braked in busy traffic thinking it was a little bird or a mouse, it was a leaf! š« . Maybe this human should be allowed out but just not in a car šš.
I had an accident in Sept 2019 when I hit a badger at 5am it was awful/fatal. I had to carry on to mum's. Got home drank a glass of wine then got a cab to take me to get it, i couldn't believe I'd left it at the side of the road and couldn't leave it their in case its family found it. The cabbie was amazing and I'd tipped him well for car valeting. Took it to my vets to send him for cremation, wanted his ashes back to sprinkle but it had to go in a mass cremation. Considering I've been a member of the Badger Trust for years it was very traumatic and I've never been able to drive on that road again.
