Local observation: I'm a member of several local hiking groups. One leader has announced they are not doing any hikes for now, the rest of the schedule seems basically intact, although there has been discussion of minimizing contact. (No carpools, no passed-around sign-in sheet and the like.) Note that the leader that has dropped out is part of a group that has a 50+ requirement and I would say the average age is 60+.
