The administrators at the University of California, Berkeley, have launched strict coronavirus lockdown rules that include a ban on outdoor exercise.
The university announced that its lockdown would last at least until February 15, but that date is already an extension from the original February 8 end time. Shockingly, the school exclaimed that the police would monitor the lockdown.
“Due to the 14-day incubation period of this virus, it is too early to be sure we have contained this current surge,” UC Berkeley told students, according to the Daily Californian. “We understand this extension is frustrating, but please understand this will help us mitigate further spread while protecting our community.”
Even outdoor exercise was banned.
“You may NOT leave your room for solo outdoor exercise, which is a change from previous self-sequestering guidelines,” the school said. “We are working with the City of Berkeley to determine whether outdoor exercise may be permitted, and we will provide more information on this in the near future.”
According to school officials, students are not allowed to leave their rooms except to pick up meals, for medical care, or to get coronavirus testing.
“We understand that students certainly wish to enjoy exercise and getting outside, and we hope this will be possible in the near future,” the school told Fox News. “It likely should be after self-sequestration directives are lifted. We ask for their patience while we continue to consult with public health officials.”
The school also demanded that students report on each other for “violations” of the lockdown rules.

Where’s the science???
It is kinda funny.
Even funnier that illegals can do whatever they want there.
The student’s parents are paying thousands per semester, so their kid can be treated like somebody in a low security
prison.
“The school also demanded that students report on each other for “violations” of the lockdown rules.”
Effing snitches need stitches..
Ah, yes, Bezerkeley, the home of the Free Speech Movement, goes full Stalin. This is my shocked face...
lock me up, before I jog again.
Any student who willingly complies with this deserves what they get.
They just need to tell the university to go pound sand and withdraw from school and figure out what they are going to do with their lives for real.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

“According to school officials, students are not allowed to leave their rooms except to pick up meals, for medical care, or to get coronavirus testing.”
Or to to attend mostly peaceful mass gatherings against systemic racism, which has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt NOT to transmit Covid.
If you’re dumb enough to go to that school you deserve to stand on your head whenever they command.
So they’re going to force people to stay indoors, where the virus is more likely to spread, and forbid exercise, forcing them into a sedentary lifestyle that generates all sorts of health problems. Unbelievably stupid—and this is at a university that boasts of its Nobel Prizes.
Ve have vays to keep you inside, untermensch.
They can’t go outside, in the fresh air. SMH
I predict soaring new enrollment in schools on the
“10 Best Party Colleges” list.
Most kids look forward to college days to, among other things; get away, far away from their parents. I know that I did. If conditions are going to remain this prim and proper, may as well stay at home and enroll in a Community College for a fraction of the fee.
Where is the Naked Guy these days?
Governor Newsom’s office said exercise causes sweat and the China cootie has an uncanny ability to cling to sweat. As the sweat evaporates, some of the nasty cooties enter skin pores, and the virus simply goes along for the ride.
And they are paying money for this, yes? I guess they’re okay with this then.
Sheer lunacy. But then again you know what they say about liberalism.
Whether they learn anything from it or not, these kids are getting an unprecedented lesson in civil liberties and totalitarianism.
