I don't know how crowded the park was (the replies object) but unless it was like a concert, closing parks is a terrible idea. People need outdoors for immunity and health, sunlight and ventilation make infection much less likely. Better to have sane distancing rules in the park.https://twitter.com/lambeth_council/status/1246497734741364742 …

If people came in a group.. Well, chase them off the park, they will be that group in a small apartment, less ventilation and less sunlight to kill the virus. Now everyone is worse off. We cannot enforce distancing for weeks without outlets. Outdoors is better than crammed flats.

Without outdoors, people's immunity will decline. Mental health is already a challenge, it will get worse. Plus, if people are in groups outdoors, that group will go back together to a cramped indoor place—so much worse for infection! Much better to enforce sane distancing/masks.

Cramming them indoors isn't better. We need people's cooperation. Authorities should consult with experts who understand how people work and the role of sunshine and ventilation in viral infection spread. Leaving people with no options makes things worse. https://twitter.com/FierceRobert/status/1246784829397426178 …

This won't be just two weeks. Maybe we should start having that conversation honestly, too. If authorities are telling you in your country that we're indoors for two weeks and that's it, they are not telling you the truth. We may have a year ahead.https://twitter.com/mskathleenquinn/status/1246786836833472512 …

mskathleenquinn @mskathleenquinnReplying to @mskathleenquinn @Pinboard @zeynep2/with staying at home. People are also needlessly risking lives of police, plainly must patrol because too many want to cut slack for themselves. It is 2 weeks that you need to stay at home to save your hospitals. Is that REALLY such a hardship to complain about?11 replies 79 retweets 244 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @zeynep
The part I'm especially worried about is when daily infection and death rates are rapidly declining, but people will still be asked to maintain strict social distancing measures (in early summer!). It will take a lot of trust and goodwill to make that happen
