Florida beach swamped by huge crowds of people as sunshine state hits record number of new cases

Posted 16 hours ago by Louis Staples in news

Florida has been the centre of several viral moments that have summed up America’s haphazard coronavirus response.

Well now, for some reason, beaches and parks have been re-opened in some parts of Florida... on the same day the state clocked a record number of coronavirus cases.

Huge crowds were seen cheering and rushing the beach in Jacksonville as police removed the barriers on Friday 16 April.

Aerial photos show hundreds of people packing into the beach, many without masks.

CNN reports that one beach-goer said:

We all live on it, so it has been torture looking at it and not being able to be out here.

Mayor Lenny Curry reportedly said that reopening the beach was part of the pathway back to “normal life”. He made the decision to re-open the beach after Trump ally governor Ron DeSantis gave the green light for some municipalities to begin reopening beaches.

It’s unclear why now was the time to re-open the beach, seeing as Florida announced 1,400 new cases on Friday, the highest 24-hour toll since the pandemic began.

US and Americans will pay the price for their ignorance, arrogance, incompetency of governance, and stupidity of their own people.

I don't know.

USA seems to be fine from October to February.

People lived and worked normally.

Although in many personal reports, there are so many people got sick with coronavirus symptoms.


I think it's just fine to live normally with coronavirus around.

If there are some people die, the number probably is not so different from other diseases.


Probably the only setback is a massive reduction in the elder population, which bring down the world average life expectancy.

In the economy term, reduced government money to spend on public welfare, as well as less burden to children who need to support their parents.

It won't be long as well, as more people will develop an antibody that makes coronavirus less deadly.


Or coronavirus will be mutated into far deadlier and for once in a decade there's a massive outbreak, just like we had SARS in early 2000, H1N1 in 2009, MERS in 2012 and COVIC-19 in 2020.

The world will be full of disease just like the Armageddon prophecy, there will be a lot of pandemics.
