Lets just see how quick we can start Coronavirus round II.
Just saw some video of Jacksonville beaches sun worshipers out in force.

(9,952 posts)They are suppose to open at end of month, but they cannot wait that long because then it will have be prolonged. So open BEFORE the peak, to get it open and start a second wave. So so so stupid.

(11,769 posts)Freedom is at stake. Caution to the wind, and folks betting on safety in numbers- more folks go, the less chance of cops getting called... Maybe a tad bit of irony there?

(2,193 posts)I liked it when the beaches were empty.
To our credit, state park and state beach parking lots remain closed, discouraging out of county visits.

(3,401 posts)March 2nd - first 2 Covid-19 cases announced
March 22nd- Florida closes the beaches and orders social distancing with 1007 cases.
Now with protective measures the number of infected are have risen to 24,705 and 725 dead, so today you opened the beaches and likely everything else next week.
What gives you the sense of security that this is ending?
Your average daily increase of infections with protections is 913. What will be the math on increased infections without Protections?

4/27 deaths from Covid-19 start to spike dramatically
By 5/1, ALL the beaches in Florida reopen. Because clearly everybody was way too close together when only a limited number of beaches opened
