      so glad @zeynep wrote this. Park closures amount to "pandemic theatre," pushed less by medical pros or epidemiologists than by local officials wanting to look like they're "doing something" and "taking the virus seriously." Going to parks is good! 🌳🏞️https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/closing-parks-ineffective-pandemic-theater/609580/ …

      Shit I commented on a reply and didn’t see the thread at first. Bad take. People en masse are not responsible and do stupid things.

      They’re calling for people to voluntarily act right and too many are too selfish to do that. It would be great if people could just do the right thing without enforcement but based on what I’ve seen in my own state before trails and parks closed, they won’t.

          This isn’t forever. If we can just stay away from each other for a little while it will end. People just want to do what they want to do and the longer they disregard social distancing the longer this goes on. If you ask people to do the right thing but allow them not to...

          “If I can’t go to the park for a few weeks I will surely perish” is selfish and shortsighted. Trying to stop a pandemic is like herding cats. Cats give a fuck about themselves and do what they want, it’s an apt comparison.

          This seems like more of your authoritarian instinct and a chance to signal your own virtue/self-discipline/masochism than a real legitimate opinion on public health.
