That's a very odd mix of "this crisis is my opportunity to ban things I don't like" and what seem like real, if misguided, forecasts.
The very first one is weirdly classist, as well as being ableist and ageist against teenagers as well as the elderly: the city pool or the gym at the Y is an option for someone who doesn't own or isn't allowed to drive a car, like 14-year-olds. And good luck social distancing while running in my old neighborhood in Manhattan. You might manage to stay away from people on the trails in the park, but only if you're neither faster than anyone in front of you or slower than anyone behind you, and nobody is going uphill while you're heading down. (In a lot of places, it's either impossible or unsafe to step off the trail so someone can pass.)
