New drone footage showing Florida beaches goers social distancing is causing much concern after other news outlets used older pictures that seemed to indicate crowded beaches. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reopened Florida beaches, a decision which incurred criticism from long-term shutdown proponents.

The drone footage, found here, shows people keeping more than enough recommended social distance.

However, not all news agencies handled the Florida beach reopenings from a similar perspective.

Forbes, an American business magazine, utilized a social media feature image that showed beach goes nearly shoulder to shoulder.

Looks like the media lied again, and fearful Karen control freaks believed what the media was selling. (Including several Fearbros here.)

Forbes became a ChiCom supporter and anti America during the Clintoon love affair with the ChiComs.

I read earlier that that last picture is actually from a Los Angeles beach. I do not know when but I don’t think it was recent. Just a stock picture they found of a beach that was crowded which is the image they wanted to project.

The media brought about this pandemic and they should be held liable for it.

MSM/DNC has one goal right now: stop any opening anywhere. Of course they would lie about this. They desperately want to be able to say “we cannot open because not everyone will obey the guidelines”.

I watched part of the US Air Force Academy’s graduation. The cadets were sitting in chairs that are 8 feet apart from the next chairs side to side and front to back. An aerial view clearly showed that they were quite far apart. Then a photo from a low level made it look like they were just about touching each other. Camera angle can be tricky.

I wonder how much publicity were given to the signs that went up, in San Francisco IIRC, showing how to stay 6 feet apart from others. Unfortunately the signs were made by someone who forgot geometry and had no common sense, because the diagonal between the four corners of a square was 6 feet long. It was obvious that the corners of the square, where people would be standing were much less than 6 feet apart.

That photo was file footage from an earlier date. They had to admit it today.

Oh, goody, the media lied again. Even a Black Swan like this won't stop their stupid agenda to crush the economy, depose Trump and eventually -- I suppose -- impose socialism, because we'll do it better than Venezuela and Cuba, don'tcha know.

Oh, well, maybe we're already dead.

Coronavirus DANG!

President Trump was right from the beginning about this being a complete hoax (within total context of course). Sometimes President Trump says things the wrong way but is completely correct in the long run.
