Jacksonville beaches reopen in Florida as states begin easing stay-at-home restrictions

Totally agree, far too soon..,:( there's been no testing, yet these people are now permitted to go and mix on the beach ( yes I know supposedly 6 feet apart)... I pray to God it doesn't happen, but I have a horrible feeling that within a few weeks there's going to be a huge increase in Covid-19 patients in the Jacksonville beach area..

I'd love to go out...really would love it as I;m sure most here would too... but no way, not until there's evidence that incidences have dropped significantly, and there's proper testing being carried out on everyone..

Agree, HD.

Yesterday hubby & I were chatting. He asked me when I thought we personally would start to feel comfortable with less stringent isolation and more social contact. I said, "Maybe sometime in July???" He said he was figuring on August. We agreed that our huge Christmas parties will probably not happen this year.
 
I sent email to the office of the governor inquiring when they will start mass testing and contact tracing in LA county. I didn't get a direct answer and they said they are not doing in-the-field work (?) at the moment.

I'm disappointed why they're not following basic protocol to contain an epidemic - 1) Test 2) Isolate 3) Trace contacts.

I've read an article where S Korea has started opening shops after applying the above protocol. Those who tested positive but asymptomatic were isolated to prevent spreading the virus to the public. Thereafter, they gradually started to open business.

If third world countries like the Philippines have started mass testing and tracing contacts why can't this nation with vast resources?

Unfortunately not here, they're already talking today in the media about sending the children back to school ( part-time) on the 15th of May.... :mad:

We went out today for the first time in ages, it was a beautiful day, and I didn't get to celebrate my birthday on friday so we thought we'd just take a walk around the quiet fields near our home in way of celebration .. As most of you know I live in the countryside outside London, we hardly saw a soul, the odd dog walker... and it was absolutely bliss, and that's generally the way it is around here, although obviously a lot less cars on the road at the moment... we by going to these fields and our neighbours acres of farmlands.. (quarantined off in places due to the pandemic )... weren't going to be a danger to anyone, and no-one to us... but when we got home late afternoon, I looked at the papers, and this is what we saw was happening in London and some of the more popular resorts today.... it makes me so mad.. , it's about time this government came down hard on people who break the rules by putting other people's lives at risk... ( I'll post my photos later or tomorrow from our walk)... but here's the pictures from the media from London and the coast today...

I suppose I don't see the problem with opening the beaches as long as the social distancing is followed. It's always very windy at the beach so no stagnant air. I have no interest in it, but people are going to begin rebelling at being confined to quarters, so it may be time to open some things up with restrictions.
 
It's dumb and reckless. These folks are endangering innocent people, and in the USA this behavior is encouraged by some political leaders and grifting charlatans. If and when they fall sick they will be competing with innocent, conscientious people for hospital beds and ventilators and needlessly endangering the health care workers. It’s so wrong at every level.

Do you actually think they will be any competition between political leaders and common folk for beds and ventilators???
