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.

I demand my share of Carona! Extra, not that Lite shite.
They can’t stop everybody everywhere.................
bkmk
They obviously had a spring break, spread the disease issue.
Hard to be especially sympathetic to your great sacrifice right now.
I’m in SW Florida too....you didn’t hear that the beaches are CLOSED?
If they let you walk there they need to let everyone walk everywhere. Closed means you too, even if it’s your anniversary.
Your screen name is perfect.
Take a walk on the beach anyway.
What policeman is going to enforce this?
If caught, plead ignorance. What judge is going to enforce this?
Worst case: you’ll get a warning. And you’ll then have a great story.
lol. Oh yeah, that disease thing we got going on.
I still sometimes just cannot believe what people write on FR. Sounds like that spring break chick...”Oh this is sooooo messin’ with my spring brreaaaaak.”
In the fwiw department, all beaches from Pass a Grille to Dunedin close at 2400 hrs today.
Barricades, cones, signs etc going up as I type.
5.56mm
Ha ha—too true!
“The EASE of which they have CONTROLLED EVERYONE is frankly SCARY!! HELLO SOCIALISM and COMMUNISM!!!!”
Very scary.
“Do you feel their testing and quarantining had no effect? “
No, I do not.
What does testing accomplish? Since a virus can linger in your system with no symptoms, what good does a quarantine do? You’ve already been infected and infected others. Quarantines for symptomatic people is like shutting the barn doors after the horse got out.
“Quarantines for symptomatic people is like shutting the barn doors after the horse got out.”
Agreed, but non-symptomatic people in China and SK were quarantined as well.
They shit the beach
Nice family you have there....

With this toilet paper crisis, it was bound to happen.
As of March 20: "COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance, Total cases: 15,219 Total deaths: 201" (No stats on Hospitalization from the CDC yet).
The death rate on the Diamond Princes ( a good scientific study) was .05% or 2 people out of 3870 (Max Capacity). Good for Comparisons. So I see 100 times as many deaths and 2000 times more cases so far for the Flu this season.
I disagree that it is not relevant.
Or even sitting in your chair on the beach, unless of course y ou had someone sitting in your lap.
The real problem is that those juvenile spring break types pollute the hotels, motels and eating establishments.
A world of difference between the residents and the spring break crowd.
I don't know how you would do it, but the right way to do it would be to refuse the spring break crowd accommodations....maybe require proof of residency in the state and enforced by the cops.
But banning a walk on the beach is stupid.
I would remind all that since and including the Spanish Flu epidemic, we have had many severe flu epidemics, polio as well, and never was the country shut down as it is now.
?The Kentucky Derby ran in all of those years except for 1945. We went to ball games, movies and partied as best we could...often with a little moonshine.
Imagine, Spanish flu, polio, serious bouts of seasonal flu, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, flu and wars every year running concurrently and consecutively...and we kept right on. No hiding under the bed.
I was there
We have become a nation of hysterical panicky wimps.
South Korea has been using the malaria drug and quarantine.
China’s claims are always suspect.
This isn’t flu. Not sure why you don’t realize it.
That cleaned up after themselves
