Well there's not much else to do now is there? Since the base is closed, I was wondering where (generally around Lexington Park) there are good places to go for walks or runs? I've gone down to Historical St Mary's city/College and there are nice paved paths around there. Closer by is Chancellors Run Park but that's only a quick circle, any other suggestions?
Good places to walk/run?

Nothing to see here
Base is open but want workers to telecommute and only come in if it is necessary or you are essential personnel.
Yeah poor wording on my part - Just not on base everyday now due to mass telework.

Are state parks closed? I’m still working on site so I haven’t paid attention to stuff like state parks being closed.

From the MD state parks home page just now: "All Maryland State Parks are open, with the exception of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park, which was closed due to the volume of visitation that occurs in the park’s interpretive center. "
You might look up Geocaching, if that's still a thing. When we did it years ago, we found all kind of cool places to explore.

It's definitely still a thing. Start at https://www.geocaching.com for info. There are tons of caches in this local area, and some of them are quite good and take you interesting places. It's usually a fairly solitary sport, so perfect for these times. I would avoid any caches that use language like "high muggle count" or "lots of muggles" - borrowing from Harry Potter language, meaning a lot of non-geocachers around the area that you'll have to avoid. Pretty much anything in an urban area.
What was that game that was played on smartphones a few years back - the kids were trying to collect these virtual objects

Pokemon Go. Still a thing, but the game provider (Niantic) changed it so that people are at lower risk. Supposedly. I have no personal experience.

Three Notch Trail from county line in Charlotte Hall down to Laurel Grove Park, 11 miles should be good walk or jog.
