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.

That's not how people work. WE HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM. Plus, we may be in this for a year. That means we need to consider mental health and immunity. If we close all parks rather than have sane rules, they will gather in cramped petri-dishes aka apartments.https://twitter.com/DeweyTheGooner/status/1246796940458823681 …

Yes, if this pic is real, this is nuts. Look, there are many studies of disaster response where the people are doing things fairly sanely until authorities come down with top-down, overzealous rules and then things get out of hand, and become much worse. https://twitter.com/MuftiOfMunchies/status/1246799075560894464 …

I want people to distance. I want them to not gather in groups. I want to find ways to encourage both as much as possible within a sane set of rules and recommendations with which we will have maximal cooperation. Driving groups underground into petri-dishes indoors isn't it.

A 2009 paper on how to get ready for the next pandemic. Yes to distancing, absolutely no to preventing access to outdoors. "..introducing high levels of natural ventilation or, indeed, by encouraging the public to spend as much time outdoors as possible." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4504358/ …pic.twitter.com/2cG8zKlSqB

"Close all the parks" is the new "masks may be more harmful".
Make it possible to distance outdoors, not trap people indoors. In a few years, academics will be publishing studies on how the locales with sane access to outdoors did so much better. Don't be the comparison case.Show this thread -
Okey dokey, I'll write this out long-form. A lot of "do something" impulse is being channeled towards unscientific scolding that will backfire and/or make things worse. And amazed how many people seem incredulous that ventilation/sun/outdoors are important in infection control.

I mean yes. In theory. But you can’t guarantee they don’t touch a surface, walk closely to another person, be confined to a mass transit system, or fall back into “oh it’ll be alright if I invite my friends” etc.

For a single family unit staying indoors if they spread it, itll be amongst themselves. If 1 family member has it they're expected to pass it to other fam members. Once they venture out as a group to a park, they risk spreading it to others who spread it to others STAY HOME

But would most of them be in such groups if they were to stay indoors?
