Except that walking alone doesn't put anybody at risk, certainly less than going to a supermarket or working in a factory. It's people who use the excuse of physical activity to do other things like to create groups or play sports in gorups that causes risk to other people, not those who keep distance and go alone jogging or just taking some fresh air.
With your reasoning, they should also ban driving completely, because some people will not follow road rules or do drunk driving. So since some don't follow the basic rules and put others in danger with drunk driving, then driving should be banned for everybody (even for those who followed rules), right?
Also check official numbers from ISS (istituto superiore della sanità). Of the 3200 deceased (at the day the report was written), only 1,1% of deceased had less than 50 years, and nearly a fourth of these "young" (i wouldn't consider 45-50 years old as young but let's keep this definition) of them had serious pre-existing conditions. Is it right to imprison me and other several millions of people against their will for several months? Even prisoners have an hour of fresh air daily, we are not even allowed that.
We are not talking of 2 weeks (it has already been more than 2 weeks for us). We are talking several months of quarantines. even a week ago, several italian virologists clearly said and are advising the government that these measures should last until end of summer, so we are talking 4-5 months at least. The 3 april date is clearly a placeholder and even conte himself said that they will be prolonged with a new decree. So when will my right of movement and not to be imprisoned be respected? We are not talking about a short term measure, this is a long one. Do you think it's fair to not be allowed to walk at all for 4-5 months just because the police can't police/enforce rules on those who use the excuse of jogging/walking for instead doing other things? We are asking for a stroll alone, not for parties or group sports. I never advocated for removal of all measures, I'm just asking that physical and mental sanity is preserved for some people who need it by allowing short strolls alone.
