Florida reopening: People rejoice as malls, barbershops and gyms reopen across the state

Folks in the Sunshine State were eager to finally work out, eat out and go to the mall Monday as phase one of Florida's reopening plan went into full effect.

Restaurants, malls, libraries and gyms were able to open at 50% capacity. Barbershops were also able to reopen as long as they abided by safety protocols like wearing face masks and social distancing.

It's the first time many of these establishments are reopening since Gov. Ron DeSantis implemented the state's stay-at-home orders in March.

While localities such as Miami-Dade County reopened, some of south Florida's most iconic locations have not. The cities of Miami and Miami Beach -- with its famous Ocean Drive -- are still shut down.

Ninth highest number of cases among states. If they're suppressing the count as some say it's probably worse.

1. Corona-19

The FUN Virus!

7. Yeah right. We've done pretty well considering many said we'd be New York

In mi-March and April that was the daily mantra from the media. Most of us know how to keep a distance, wear a mask and not use subways during a coronavirus.

2. Imagine needing to go to the mall to have a life

How unutterably sad

3. ...

4. Oh, it'll be fine

Everyone will engage in best practices of countermeasures, nobody will treat their new permissions irresponsibly, the State has full and complete information on who's infected and where they've been for the past two weeks, no, the past month! That's how totally prepared Florida is! Nobody will make in-person visits to vulnerable people and . . .

Thousands of people are going to die, aren't they?

5. Buckle up, Florida...

6. Speak for yourself.

This Floridian has not ventured out anywhere besides Publix and Walgreens for several weeks now.

8. People are stupid.

Case closed.

Now what?
