1. Wait, is that next Monday? WTF?

The problem is now.

[GemDigger]

2. Racking in the $$$ for as long as possible.

3. so it seems!

4. Getting to the end of their biggest Spring Break week

Would be my guess.

[Freethinker65]

6. Those young adult spring breakers will return to campus, pack up belongings, and most go home

Go home to live with their older parents. Many of those homes in areas not yet experiencing any positive cases until the unsuspecting carriers return.

7. The economic hit will be huge. Two days notice isn't much.

I have no idea what they will do with all the irate tourists.

The State Parks are closing early in the evenings now and cutting the number of people they let in by 50%, starting tomorrow.

[Ace Rothstein]

15. The tourists need to stay home or go home.

5. trump is now the mayor in Jaws

8. Why not NOW? n/t

9. Should have happened last week.

It was a colossal fuck up that they were able to remain open given the circumstances.

10. The irony is that many Florida Beaches not in a spring break area would be ideal CV recreation.

The only time I can stand to be on a beach is if there is at least 50-60 feet or more between my wife and I and the next party. There a large number of beaches that are like this. Most non Floridians have never heard of them. Forgive me if I don’t mention their names!

But there are surprisingly large number of beaches where you can be pretty much alone. I’ll be enjoying them in the next few months when not in the gulf on our boat. Talk about isolation.

11. I won't tell you mine, you don't tell me yours.

[GulfCoast66]

12. Probably some of the same ones if were talking about the gulf coast!

I’ve never understood the attraction of being crammed into a place that in the absence of people is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Well, I guess when I was a young man I more interested in a different type of scenery!

[rzemanfl]

13. I learned I was getting old

when I was checking out a woman in a bikini and a little girl ran up to her and said,
“Grandma, we’ve got to go!”

[GulfCoast66]

14. Right there with you!

A few years ago my wife saw me checking out the type of girls I used to. She rolled her eyes and said “ gulfcoast, that girl would kill you!” I had to agree.

Of course, she does not call me gulfcoast!

[rzemanfl]

16. That grandma would have made me break a sweat, but she would not

have killed me. I have never seen much attractive in the self-mutilated young women of today with all the tats and piercings.

17. Monday?

Gotta make those profits this weekend?

[rzemanfl]

18. It's a barrier island. The exodus will take a while. That is the only

defense I can come up with for waiting until Monday.
