Because many, not all, of them far exceeded the scenes I have seen from beaches at crowding.

My suspicion, and hope, is that it is hard to spread while outdoors. It seems crowded indoor spaces are where we read about multiple cases.

And our stupid governor in Florida is allowing things to operate like normal. At least he has not, yet, prevented local governments from making stricter regulations like in Texas. Orange County(Orlando) are requiring masks everywhere starting at midnight tonight. Democratic controlled I should add.

Just spent 3 days fishing in a bright red county. Needless to say I cooked all the meals(fresh fish) in the efficiency. No one distancing or wearing masks there in restaurants or bars. We were going to go into one of our favorites. Walked in. Looked around and did a U turn

Time will tell.
