Carona Nazis Close the Beach for Walking here on the West Coast of Florida away from crowded areas.
We talked with a man who said he shouldn't have brought his beach chair as they only allow you to walk in the morning. This was far away from any crowded areas.
My wife, who is an ER Nurse on our 25th anniversary, can't believe they have taken it to this extreme. We said to one another "Will they shut it down for the next Flu seasons to come"??
We were going to go to Bora Bora this Thursday, but the doctors were not going to sign anything without a form and the Tahitian government didn't provide a form to satisfy their requirement for a Health Certification within 5 days of travel. We are glad we didn't go since the State Department's latest advice.
We recovered some of our Bora Bora travel arrangements and thought we could rent a beach home with beach access away from the crowded areas. No such luck.
The good thing is that the home we did get has a enclosed pool spa, and a salt water lake with some very pretty birds visiting. Saw an osprey hunting in the shallows and yesterday two Roseate Spoonbills flew in. This is our contribution to "Sheltering in Place".
We brought plenty of food with us just in case, but this hysteria is getting out of hand.
Will they shut down everything for the Flu Season next year?? There are far far more deaths from it despite the flu vaccines. Are we going to stop elections, schools and everything next year??
Thank you Corona Nazis for stopping beach access and watching the sundowns. We will just find another spot to enjoy them and thumb our noses at you (without touching our faces).
On our drive here, a Burger King had a sign "Closed for Social Distancing" close to the chairs. Ah the Joys of Socialism. Just wait for the Thought Police and the Adjustment Advisers.

Yes, obviously.
The flu is a virus based respiratory illness, while Corona virus is a virus based respiratory illness.
Nothing alike.
My friends and I spent high school graduation night at Grayton Beach. I didn’t drink but my friends got so drunk another guy and me had to drag him away to take a leak.
Why in the world we thought that was a good idea, I will never know.
This is the story of the little boy who rang a bell in the city center. When asked why, he said to keep away the elephants. When told there are no elephants, he said, “See? It works!”
This is the communist using this “crisis” to implement communism, to keep the elephant virus away by ringing the communist bell of handing everything over to the government.
Phase 1 was gaslighting the sheeple into thinking they will die without government intervention.
Phase 2 is control the people and shutdown their businesses.
Phase 3 is government providing payment for business rents and payroll.
Phase 4 is the government simply stating that since the government already pays for everything that the government now owns the businesses.
Communism complete: Total control of the sheeple and a complete takeover of commerce.
The liberal States of Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, and New Jersey have implemented martial law, selecting which businesses must close and that the people must stay indoors. This isn’t a quarantine; this is martial law. Just because the communists are using the virus as an excuse doesn’t mean it is not martial law. When the government can tell you to stay home, implement curfews, and shut down businesses, it is martial law. Trump is in on this communist takeover. He is encouraging States to go into martial law and shut down businesses and lock everyone into their homes.
To get the people’s cooperation, the government is buying their cooperation. Each adult gets $1,000; $2,000 per couple but only if they make under $150k. Great, huh? Get taxed to give other people free money. Colorado is giving people a pass on parking tickets as though people can no longer seem to properly park. There are lots of free sh*t stories being reported.
Just as we were moving manufacturing back to America, the communists are closing those businesses making us rely on foreign imports again. Since Trump has surrounded himself with the communist healthcare workers, he is pushing the narrative and supporting “free” money which means both conservatives and liberals, alike, support him and this effort to take over the country by the communists.
We are past the tipping point. Americans are fully endorsing any and all measures. They actually want more closures. The drama queens are begging to have all their liberties taken away in the name of safety. They are begging for their businesses to close, thinking somehow Uncle Sugar will hand them money to live on instead of having to work.
For those of us not so stupid as to fall for this communism propaganda, we have the right to take on jobs and visit businesses of our own free will. This is the liberals taking away our right to choose.
The WHO estimates between 250,000 and 500,000 die worldwide from the flu. China had 81,000 infected of a population of 1.4 billion and have now lifted their quarantines and claim to have no new cases. South Korea with 8,600 cases likewise has seen a tremendous drop in new cases.
This virus so far is the typical flu level symptoms and treatment. Nothing to be taken lightly, but nothing to go and shut down the country for either.
Anyone feel stupid yet?
Waiting on a 30-day extension of my short term disability for my quad-bypass. If/when it comes thru I’m taking my Scout out every day I can for Spring King and Spanish mackerels. Nothing like a day on the water to ‘get away from it all’.
30-days paid leave to go fishing in the Gulf of Mexico in calm, 80+ degree weather is about close to heaven I can get without dying.
Okaloosa closing:
“The primary advocate for the declaration was Dr. Karen Chapman, the director of the Okaloosa County branch of the Florida Department of Health.”
What does her boss think about this?
Well, maybe the government should simply change the rules and say, “All of the steps we have taken to prevent the spread of the Chicom Virus apply to all Americans except for obviously, self-centered, selfish CptnObvious!”
How is that? Does that satisfy you?
I can walk on the beach everywhere I’m a safe distance to others but I can’t set up my beach chair to enjoy the sand & surf (just like those Spring Breakers earlier) so that’s depriving me of my happiness and freedom of assembly (for a couple of weeks to keep from infecting those with compromised immune systems, as a curtesy to them) then America has become a Nazi despotic State because I’m asked to take my beach chair back to my own yard, Trump is evil & a danger to my “rights!”.
Kind of sounds like a few others who throw fits because their favorite bars shut down & grocery stores asked them not to take more than two pkgs of toilet paper, gallons of milk and loaves of bread in my neck of the woods!
I can set my own beach chair most everywhere I want except it’s 42 degrees with snow predicted this weekend, so I’m mad too!
Get a life buddy! If we’re still restricted in three / four weeks, then it’s time enough to find out what’s going on but you’ll still be able to soak enough other places and even at a public beach then as the sun’s not going out of business anytime soon. Until then, go to Bora Bora & stay as long as you like.
My Daughter and family spent two weeks at Santa Rosa Beach a few years ago. They are from Oklahoma and loved it but I couldn’t stand it.
It seemed like only yesterday that I could visit the Beach in Walton County and not see another person.
“China had 81,000 infected of a population of 1.4 billion and have now lifted their quarantines and claim to have no new cases. South Korea with 8,600 cases likewise has seen a tremendous drop in new cases.”
Did they do anything to bring this about or did they just get lucky?
You forgot a third option: The flu type viruses run their course and are done. No need to destroy your country.
Neither. The idiots rule.
That is true; however, the number of people who have dies so far in the US alone this season is around 20,000 people. Do the math. Is this Kung Flu worse? No.
Yeah, here in Washington we have had three years worth of flu deaths in two weeks.
You’re right, no similarities.
Do I need the /s tag?
“The flu type viruses run their course and are done.”
Do you feel their testing and quarantining had no effect? I wonder why this hasn’t happened in Italy or Iran?
The EASE of which they have CONTROLLED EVERYONE is frankly SCARY!! HELLO SOCIALISM and COMMUNISM!!!!
Florida is up 103 cases TODAY, a 20% increase. Your spring break idiots will fuel your exponential growth over the next month. We went thru this up here in Washington with the soccer matches and ignorance.
Social distancing is preferable to quarantine in order to break the infection cycle. But if you want to be Italy with your elderly population, don’t whine when your hospitals have no available ICU beds.
Car accident? Heart issues? Stroke? Sorry, the hospitals will be full.
Wake up, selfish. It ain’t all about YOU.
Here’s your future Floriduh.
Bergamo Italy, ICU. Please watch.
Public safety is not socialism or communism. I live out in the sticks up here for a reason. My sister lives near Okeechobee FL in the sticks, for a reason. We have no cases - and intend to keep it that way.
makes sense about the good points of an uncrowded beach. same mentality (to my thinking) of limiting grocery stores to fewer hours.... when they should be expanding hours !
Now , i cant plan on shopping at 5 or 6AM ...
Unfortunately, they have to close the beach, or spring breaking idiots will turn it into a mosh pit. This is why we can’t have nice things.
They could achieve the same effect by limiting access to those over the age of 30.
