'Don't go out and enjoy sunshine' captures one big way in which this common crisis is experienced differently

Parks shouldn't be closed - they should be used safely.
Esp if prolonged lockdowns
- Distribute advice
- Recruit volunteers as stewards
(control entry numbers at main gates; some advice inside)
- Ask those with gardens to avoid parks/go less; ask others to go for < 1 hour

A more unequal distribution of time?
Many people are busier than ever
(work/pressure on orgs, services, business, charities; parenting is 24/7, home-schooling).
Many people (furloughed; sport & culture activities postponed) short of ways to fill their time.

This thread comes to you from being able to play football in the garden with 10 year old Sonny.
The policy aims of a lockdown are to
- reduce contact overall (by > 75%+)
- make it safer (isolation + physical distancing, so can't cough/sneeze on somebody)
This should be compatible with the safe limited/occasional use of parks, esp for families with children + no garden

The UK lockdown is less stringent than other countries - on exercise. Separately, some forms of work.
Some fear this is enabling too much contact. But the provision for exercise should be protected - at which point safe [monitored] use of open spaces more sensible than closure.
