Miss spoke when I typed yes need to shame them, I meant to type no need to shame people.

Actually, we are unsure if COVID19 is airborne. The New England Journal of Medicine published a study that they found COVID19 could possibly live in air up to 3h. Although this was a controlled environment, does not mean we might not find it living for at least 20 mins. Someone coughs; walks away and then someone else inhales 10 mins later unknowingly....
As for public shaming, I agree with you.
It’s unnecessary.
But, I’m quite disappointed with the lack of regard people have for COVID19 and the influx the system is having to handle... first hand:
WE ARE OVERWHELMED!!! STAY HOME!!!!!!

We absolutely must shame them. The city is doing nothing to enforce a rule that is DESIGNED TO SAVE LIVES. So we need to act as a community, making examples of those who are literally putting people's lives at risk.

One arrogant, self-important woman in the park isn't going to spread the virus. But problem is that it's signaling behavior. Who else is going to see this flagrant disregard for their fellow taxpayer's health, and then also use the park. Now we have 2 people walking dogs, then 10, then the kids are back on the b/ball court in close proximity. And even if they don't have symptoms, they then pass it to someone else who dies. It's that serious.

It's unfortunate that some people feel they are above the rules, even when it comes to helping to protect the community. But here we are. And that's why it's a good thing to photograph, name (if you can), and shame them on every platform available. The city isn't doing anything to enforce its own rules, so we are in a position where we must.

We should have stocks installed at Grove St and offenders like this could be placed in them, then locals could, while maintaining social distancing, come by and pelt the dog owner with eggs, stale bread and rotten fruit and veg.
Thus Justice will be served and a welcome distraction from the current situation created.

@HP resident: I'm not sure how acting like a community = shaming people.
I agree she is in the wrong by walking her dog in the park. She is violating the rules. However, we don't need to be nasty people either. One bad seed doesn't mean we all have to turn into bad seeds.

CAN PEOPLE PLEASE WEAR MASKS!!!!!!! This would solve a huge bit of the problem... TRANSMISSION. just wear masks. Honestly I don't know why we are all upset about someone walking in the park but not on the street w/o masks. It's outrageous to me.

Just. cover. your. mouth. and. nose. with. some. barrier. PAHLLEEEASE.
walking through the park versus walking down the street w/o a mask... there's literally no difference.

I applaud the photographer; at least someone is doing something when the rules are not followed! There are plenty of places to walk a dog outside the park but this woman feels so entitled and arrogant that she can disregard the rules, which then sets an awful example to others and promotes other entitled people to disregard the rules? She's deserves shaming if the city will not enforce their rules during a pandemic!
