MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Several state parks have reported that they’ve reached capacity and have temporarily closed.

Among the list is Myrtle Beach State Park, according to the South Carolina State Parks Facebook page.

Here is the list of parks that have reached capacity as of 11 a.m. Sunday:

Croft Keowee-Toxaway Jones Gap Table Rock Paris Mountain Devils Fork Myrtle Beach

These parks will be reopened when a safe capacity is reached, SC State Parks said online.

State parks were reopened with certain limitations Friday following a closure due to COVID-19.

Open them and South Carolinians will come. I guess we will find out if Covid19 is just the flu bro or a dreaded contagion depending on how cases trend going forward.

You are ten times more likely to die in a car crash than this.

A few choppers were circling the bay area Saturday. Kind of spooky.

The chances of catching Covid-19 on a hot, windy, sunny ocean beach - full of UV light, negative air-ions and salt spray is effectively zero.

It’s a flu.

It’s like these idiots telling you smoking is going to kill you. NOT. Eating red meat multiple times a week will kill you. NOT
Drinking too much will kill you. NOT.

I’ve been doing the above for over 40 years, I get a very clean bill of health at my medical.

It doesn’t matter what you do. Or what you don’t do, if you are born or hatched, you are going to die. It is a fact of life.

As the weather continues to improve into the 70s, 80s and 90s throughout America and those ineffective, antisocial face coverings become far too uncomfortable to wear as the virus becomes less and less fearful to sane people, the vile and phenomenally destructive overreaction will quickly dissolve ... as will the self-anointed, un-Constitutional temporary powers of the governors and other even lower politicians as people simply ignore the politicians and “The Experts” and go about living their lives and enjoying their God-given freedom. HUZZAH!!
