This confusing mess of a thread might be my fault - I resurrected it because I was trying to find the thread where folks were talking about their first-hand experiences with social distancing in their communities, and I thought this was it.
Clearly not.
And my point was not that I wanted to report people (it'd be pointless as I passed at least *10* cop cars on my 1-hour cycle). My point was simply to note that while most people are doing a reasonable job of social distancing in parks, when it gets crowded enough it's close to impossible, and so I am less than fully confident that in my hour in cycling around the park, no COVID-19 transmission was occurring between individuals/groups, because there were a lot of people without masks and a lot of people walking/running/standing in relatively close proximity to one another.
