Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is allowing some beaches in northern Florida
to reopen, The Associated Press reported on Friday, even though the
state has continued to see an increase in coronavirus cases.

As of Friday, Florida had reported over 24,000 cases of the virus and
nearly 700 deaths.

DeSantis, who initially left it up to local officials to close their
beaches and other establishments, said at a news conference on Friday
that some counties could start reopening their beaches if they wanted,
adding that it was important for people to get fresh air, the AP reported.

"Do it in a good way," DeSantis said. "Do it in a safe way."

As long as social distancing is done, what is different than going out to
walk the neighborhood?


Harry thinks going to the beach is taking the train out to Fire
Island. I doubt he has ever seen a beach without people laying on
overlapping blankets.

Where do you get these absurd ideas? I've never been to Fire Island or
Coney Island, and I've rarely even been out to Long Island. We had
beautiful, uncrowded beaches where we summered in the New Haven area.

These beaches:

The pictures in the first 2 would be more convincing if there were
leaves on the trees (what was it about 30 degrees?) and the 4th video
is a private beach for about a dozen houses in Milford.

The 3d video seems to be showing a 4k race that closed off all the on
street parking (assuming they even let you park there) and blocked off
the street so that is not going to be an easy beach to get to. Maybe
those rich ****s could helicopter over the road.

I would be more convinced if I saw a public beach in the summer and
not one in a residential neighborhood or in the winter.

It really doesn't matter tho. If you are contending that beaches make
it impossible to social distance you are arguing the wrong point to
talk about empty ones.
