As George Carlin once said, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”Beaches across the nation are packed: Thousands ignore social distancing to sunbathe in temperatures of up to 95 degrees and relax on the sand as governors' pleas to stay home fall on deaf ears
From New York to California, people ignored social distancing to hit the beach Saturday as temperatures heated up. Los Angeles braced for a heatwave this weekend which had people keen to get back to the beach as photos show beachgoers sunbathing and relaxing. Meanwhile in New York, a spring day after a week of rain saw people out and about on Coney Island and Long Beach, despite the city being the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. And in Florida, popular beaches like Daytona and Cocoa Beach, continue to allow people to walk, surf, bike or swim, while promoting staying a safe six-foot distance from others. This comes in direct defiance to governors Andrew Cuomo (New York) and Gavin Newsom's (California) strict orders to stay-at-home as coronavirus infection rates continue to rise nationwide. People were seen relaxing on the sand on Tybee Beach in Georgia Saturday. Photos show bikini-clad beachgoers standing at an open food or beverage window.
