Lets just see how quick we can start Coronavirus round II.

Just saw some video of Jacksonville beaches sun worshipers out in force.

1. Starting a second wave before hte first can peak. That is next week and next, the end of month.

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.

2. Big mistake!

3. Yep, and no lifeguards.

Limit 50 persons per group. I hope I'm wrong, but I fear there will be a shitload of booze and celebrations on the beaches tonight.

4. Not all beaches, that's one beach in North FL.

8. I doubt folks will restrict themselves to just one beach.

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?

10. personally, I would wait a week after a beach opens, stay far from the stampeding herd

7. Santa Cruz county beaches reopen today after a week closure, Easter to blam.

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.

9. The Jacksonville Coughing Contest has begun

In two weeks I get a month off and I'm not going outside for a month when they shut down again.

12. Let me know if this is correct, Florida.

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?

13. So limited reopening today. Let me see if I follow the (crazy) train of thought

4/17 limited number of beaches reopen
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

14. HOW can this be?! Did they learn nothing after Spring Break

Too stupid to live - that's what Florida's politicians are. Too bad they wont be the ones not living anymore; it'll be the seniors who elected them

15. Is Ron DeSantis Florida Man?
