Exercising with high intensity while you are sick is directly bad for you and can even mess up your heart (a common problem for athletes). The study was just to check if all activity was bad for you when you were sick, or if only some was. Low level activity is isn't really exercising, high level activity is exercising.

There was some study an eternity ago that showed low level activity was better for sick people's health and recovery than constant bed rest.

Yeah, and exercise isn't as much of an option for e.g. paralyzed people as it is for able-bodied people.

Reply to comment by megazen in In the US, many eligible voters have to not only register to vote, but re-register to vote. Automatic voter re-registration – which targets those already registered rather than all eligible nonregistrants – would on its own increase turnout in the US by 5.8 percentage points. by smurfyjenkins
And not having voting systems set up so that everyone can vote with ease. A lot of their systems are intentionally designed to reduce voting, mainly in poorer areas.

Reply to comment by PH4N70M_Z0N3 in [WP] You are a budget mage. While most of your colleagues use costly ingredients, rituals that take weeks to prepare and use a new spell for every problem, you only know a few spells, use common household ingredients and prepare rituals within minutes. They unjustly deride your work as shoddy. by Kitty_Fuchs
Fun until the end... William Gilbert, Alessandro Volta, André-Marie Ampère, Michael Faraday, Georg Ohm and so on would make more sense, and even Benjamin Franklin wouldn't have been as horrendously painful.
