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 …

In high density cities it’s just absurd to think you can shut down every place to do things & gather *except* for parks & still assume people can or will maintain distancing. You’re inadvertently incentivizing everyone to hang out in the same place. You gotta shut em down.

They will cram together in apartments. Better to maintain distancing in parks.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Advisories against throwing parties or going to friends’ apartments have been pretty clear. Keeping parks open sends the same kind of message that keeping bars & restaurants at half-capacity did for a lot of folks.

"Advisories" will not be obeyed without cooperation. They will just cram indoors. It's what humans do.
