I wish people would please stop drinking the Kool-Aid and scaring everyone. I just returned from a week in Sandestin and beautiful Miramar Beach in Florida There were tens of thousands of happy people of all ages having a great time swimming, sunning, pooling, shopping and eating and almost no one was wearing a mask or social distancing except a few restaurant employees. I mean the pool, entire beach and the first few hundred yards of ocean were so packed you could hardly walk.
Millions of people from all over the world reside in and visit Florida annually, particularly the elderly. If you believe and trust your government, Florida should be the hot bed epicenter of COVID-19. And yet your chances of dying of this flu are actually 0.02 percent based on current coronavirus deaths and population. Your chances of dying are higher in an automobile accident on the trip down there.
If you can’t trust the government over war, elections, medical care, policing, financial well-being and numerous other issues then why on earth would you start now. We may never have a vaccine and the great flu of 1918 disappeared on its own as all viruses mutate. Please go to Florida or just get out of your shell and you will see how ridiculous this whole scare tactic really is. Businesses need our money and so do their employees. The more people get out and socialize the faster this flu will disappear and football can get back to normal.

Mr. Brian Watson posted about just getting back from a great vacation in Florida where everyone was really happy. No one was wearing mast or social distancing and you could not walk on the beaches for the crowds. He also asked us to stop drinking the "kool-aid" that the goverment health officals were saying.
On June 23, Florida had a 5,000 case spike and has had six more daily records to date, for a total of 11,558 new cases as of July 9.
I wonder how many people who where not from Florida brought it back home with them?
I also wonder if Mr Watson has gotten it yet?
I also would like to know if many of the 11,558 new cases since June 23 are wishing they had drank the "kool-aid?"
