Can't believe goverment isn't preventing that. I think people should be allowed to go out and for example go for a jog but be reasonable and not excessive. We don't need to lock down people in their house but if that continues they might.
This minority of people who now screems freedom and are unwilling to give away a bit of their freedom could be responsible for the majority losing way more of their freedom.
I live just west of FT Lauderdale and about an hour south from the beaches of Miami Dade County. Beaches in Palm Beach County are all a short drive from where I live.
I just CAN NOT believe that they just started closing down beaches, bars, restaurants. They even remained open since our governor, who was totally unprepared for this, declared a state of emergency.
Which US governor(s) was/were prepared?
I'm not sure you could say any were really prepared, and I don't know that they should really be expected to be as prepared as necessary in the absence of more of a federal push in the beginning. Some have clearly done more than others. OH was getting out in front of things awfully early. MI and NY too, though Cuomo's folksiness would drive me crazy. GA hasn't been bad, though the leadership on getting schools closed was kind of spotty in the beginning (that's where I am). SC and TX both seem to have been really lax in shutting things down, SC, in particular, was one of the last ones to close schools. Not sure how much FL could have down, but the interviews from the beaches were particularly egregious. You'd think closing those would be straightforward enough in a state that has hurricane prep built-in.
