Staying Keto over the next few months worries me. I've been Keto, at first strictly and presently for weeks at a time when I'm in need. Dropped to a new baseline weight and maintain it easily. Exercise was not a factor, although I did so regularly for many years prior to Keto and continue to do so. If Covid causes significant supply chain disruptions I think staying Keto (in terms of low carb consumption) may become quite difficult. There is only so much meat, eggs, cheese you can store and at some point consumption of shelf stable foods that do have carbs may become the only option. I really hope it does not come to that.

To that point, I think the need for exercise will become more important than ever both to keep a check on glycogen stores as well to keep your CV conditioning as high as possible to remain in the group less susceptible to a bad outcome (to Karl's point) if you do become infected. So agree 100% - regular outdoor exercise (run, bike, walk) will be your friend for the CV, calorie burning and mental benefits that we will need. As well, my 3-4 day/week weight training/cardio at the gym may need to become something I do at home/ outdoors vs. risking exposure in a public indoor setting.

Another thought - If you are out of shape and want to start, get an e-bike. Between the utility it can provide getting around, combined with the exercise benefit which you can adjust to match your ability, it may be good option.
