      I’m looking at this picture and all I see is people with way more than six feet between them in a sunny and well-ventilated area. I wish they had masks on, but what’s else is the problem? Given how large beaches are, is there a safer way to go outdoors? I don’t get beach outrage. https://twitter.com/travisakers/status/1251260796476305409 …

      Crowded grocery stores, the NYC subway where many still don’t wear masks... Those can wreak havoc. But why such concentrated outrage at something that looks quite sensible? (Not defending Florida’s other actions. Beaches kept open with distancing seem very sane and sensible.)

      How many if these people stopped for gas on the way to the beach?? Grocery stores and subways are essential.. Going to the beach is not.

      Exactly.. Your avoiding large crowds and going for walks in nature to stay safe and protect yourself and your family but its all for nothing if 1000s pack beaches and spread the virus all over meaning this fucking nightmare will continue for a lot longer.

      Look.. There's 1000s on the beach if your running 6 meters behind someone else and they cough or sneeze your going ro run straight into it.. The fact is 1000s of people on the same beach is a bad idea and it's going to cause the virus to spread..

          What??? Why did you say in your earlier tweet you would prefer they were all wearing masks?? Why should they be wearing masks? Is it because the virus is airborne? And someone coughing or sneezing can spread the virus?
