Because, hey, federal stockpiles and blue state tax money goes to the badass red states, anyway.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8229933/Beaches-Florida-start-reopening-EVENING.html
Most other Florida counties have kept their beaches closed in a bid to stop the spread of the virus. Beaches in Glynn County over the state line in Georgia have been open since April 3 for exercise only...
On Friday morning, the head of the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Robert Redfield, indicated that the first openings might come at a local level rather than a state level.
Curry said he is letting the public back onto Duval County beaches because he is 'encouraged' by the rate of infections and hospitalizations and said there is evidence they are flattening the curve.

I'm only joking. I'm not a Florida hater. I'd love to go back one day when I have more time for a proper visit. I just love joking about Florida Man.

(15,474 posts)Sometime Florida deserves some criticism for sure but not with this. Funny some are applauding Washington for opening parks. Hmmmm. I just think every state should be treated in a fact based treatment. Florida is great but like every state has its negatives at times.

(35,816 posts)Who says the rest of the state is looked at badly? Only those who think its governor should be on top of reopening.
Do you think the governor should be in charge of what reopens? Keep in mind that Florida is going to be the next epicenter of cv after New York flattens.

Floridians have to ask themselves the same question about DeSantis that the rest of have to ask ourselves about Trump: "Why are we allowing this sick and deadly farce to continue?"

(10,050 posts)Down at the bottom of the state (where it is blue) we are sheltering in place during the day and on lockdown with curfews at night - and these folks up in red counties want to open up beaches? This makes me so mad!
