There are a lot of papers in which covid19 clusters have been traced to shared living arrangements, sweatshop workplaces, hospitals, cruise ships and other cramped indoor places where people have sustained contact. As far as I'm aware there are literally none of these for parks.
Park shaming is a particularly insidious piece of bullshit that shifts the blame from economic systems that mandate poor housing quality and force people to attend workplaces that aren't adequately distanced, onto people who are doing nothing to spread the virus
(obviously, the people who need the parks are the ones with poor housing and exploitative jobs, who can't just drink G&T in their nice suburban garden while having Zoom meetings on the work laptop, and whinging about the dreadful people failing to distance in the parks)
