Our Parks have responded to the Covid-19 crisis with new signage. We hope you all will continue to keep apart from others in public spaces, wear masks – this is not a political statement, it’s good manners – and respect the rules. A recent study out of Imperial College, London, said that if only 20% more of the Massachusetts population begins to go out and about, the daily death toll could rise to 500 people a day. A 40% increase could increase the toll to 900 people a day. These numbers do not reflect variables such as face mask use, so they are not hard and fast. Nevertheless, please don’t be cavalier. and be vocal. If you see people without masks, especially people in a retail environment, say something. You can take your business elsewhere. Enjoy our parks in a responsible way, and if you can, support them financially. They are more important than ever these days.
