      The secret behind many of the beach-shaming photos! (Of all the places to go outdoors—and we should go outdoors for immunity, health and mental health– hard to think of better ones than beaches: sunny, ventilated, large). But tweet a shaming pic of a beach, get a zillion RTs!🤷‍♀️https://twitter.com/baekdal/status/1254460167812415489 …

      Danish news site reminds people of being skeptical of how news photographers take pictures. Here is the same place, one picture taken with a zoom lense, and the other with a wide-angle lense: https://nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2020-04-26-hvor-taet-er-folk-paa-hinanden-disse-billeder-er-taget-samtidig-men-viser-to … pic.twitter.com/mOSpiFEsDx

      The problem isn't going to the beach. The problem is large groups of people **who don't live together** gathered for the entire day. And within those groups, there was no physical distancing. Isn't that how the college kids in Texas got sick?

      Not hanging out with people you don't live with is part of the stay at home order, i.e. the law. From @lapublichealth: "All public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside a single household or living unit remain prohibited."

      Yeah, some young people might be doing that. You'd rather they crammed indoors, out of your sight, but more risk to themselves and then to everyone else? It's actually better they do it outdoors (less danger) and in view (so there can be limits imposed unlike an apartment.)

          No, I'd rather they follow the law & not meet up w/ friends right now. Beyond that, the governor's statewide executive order to stay home remains in effect. The beaches are open for exercise / fresh air - not hanging out all day, 10 people deep.

          Closing the beaches is the worst way to "ensure" they don't meet up. Try convincing them, yes. Closing the beaches only removes pictures for easy shaming, not the problem—in fact, it makes the problem worse. Much better that they meet in safer outdoors where we can limit numbers.
