Miami Beach has shut down its South Pointe Park just five days after it reopened, after visitors not wearing masks were hostile and abusive toward park wardens who asked them to do so. Parks in the city were opened under the loosening of coronavirus restrictions last week, but City Manager Jimmy Morales reported “serious compliance issues with respect to masks at certain facilities and rudeness toward staff, especially at South Pointe Park.” Morales said staff were “met with hostility and non-compliance,” and said that South Pointe Park will be closed until further notice as “there is no way to effectively enforce social distancing when hundreds of individuals refuse to do so. The best way to protect our residents and first responders is to keep it closed until further notice.” Reopening open spaces has been “successful” everywhere else in the city, but South Pointe Park “is the most egregious exception,” Morales said. In the five days that parks have been reopened in Miami Beach, park rangers have issued 8,880 verbal warnings to park-goers not wearing facial coverings, according to Miami Beach Police.

1. They are a danger to themselves and others and

should be arrested and put through the system.

2. Covidiots

Living in an Idiocracy.

3. Once again in this country, the minority is oppressing the majority

2/3 of the American public supports the lockdowns to save lives but we cannot isolate ourselves from the selfish 1/3 and are at their mercy.

7. Pretty much, though masks won't save you if you continue to show up in big crowds

Proximity to large herds will still spread the virus, wearing cloth or paper masks doesn't make you immune. Don't let them give you a false sense of invulerability. Stay away from crowds.

4. Well it's their funeral.

Too bad no one is going to attend because large gatherings are banned for the foreseeable future.

5. It's not just their funeral, though. It spreads to the innocent people that they

go home to or to stores they frequent, or who go to their jobs at nursing homes, restaurants, prisons, walmart, etc.

These partiers are the spreaders. They, themselves, are usually too mean to die.

6. Florida's death number is the highest I've seen for the state on Worldometer today

72.

It might be a compilation of weekend numbers.

Today will be bad.
