That is, of course, Florida. It even says so in the caption you posted.

Florida is not South Carolina.

Also, one doesn’t have to be a nurse, massage therapist, lifeguard or bar bouncer to detect that these people are not 6 ft apart.

The Grand Strand, as it’s known, is anywhere from 60 to 80 miles long - hence the term Long Bay. Depending on the tides the beach is a fairly reliable average width of 100 ft.

Math is hard, but
80 mi = 422,400 ft
422,400 ft x 100 ft width of beach = 42,240,000 sq ft
42,240,000 / 6 sq ft = 1,173,333 places for individuals with adequate safety margins.

Over One Million. In other words, a damn sight more than 286,000.

The real numbers, of course, are nothing like that given the lack of tourist traffic and the tendency of locals to ignore the beach most of the time anyway. The figure is under 100,000 - probably under 50,000 or even much less than that.

Please decide if you wish to posit an emotional argument or a logical one and let us know.
