So long as it is a request, I foresee that, absent the cancellation of flights, people will still visit.

Hmm closing it’s borders to its own citizens? Lol.

Well maybe places like NYC, Seattle and San Francisco should do the same. Mostly to keep people from coming in, catching the virus, and then spreading it.

Sounds like he is taking it a step further than the governor. Are the airlines supposed to monitor if someone who buys a ticket is flying for an essential reason.

I wish they would add similar restrictions on more Florida beaches. Have you seen the spring break crowds on the news?

Awful and reckless.

The governor of Florida has said he will absolutely NOT close down the beaches.

Did he say should not or can not travel ... there is a big difference.

That is a lot of beach. I cannot imagine policing that. I see a lot of problems with shutting down beaches because it's a place where people take walks and stroll and don't necessarily congregate or go into the water. The spring break crowds are a bunch of selfish young people who do not see this virus as a threat to their young and healthy bodies. I don't think they are using the common sense God gave them.

I just read this morning that the local authorities are closing some of the beaches. I guess if the governor couldn't take responsibility others would.

Yes, that is a big difference. I guess he's hoping people will act responsibly.

Will the Governor of Florida and the mayors of the various cities in Florida own up to the spreading of the virus across the United States of America?

Sadly, Florida has a large elderly population and this puts them at higher risk.

Just another reason NOT to retire to Florida - all those old people!

Yeah, that is funny. Brevity at this time is definitely something I cherish.

Brevity?

 

[rickandcindy23]

Brevity?

Yeah, where are my right words today. Should have said pithiness. That works better.

 

[melissy123]

Yeah, that is funny. Brevity at this time is definitely something I cherish.

Levity?

 

[rickandcindy23]

Hey, that is probably my word. I am a little nutty lately. I hope it's not permanent and is just this craziness right now.

Levity?

Despite governor’s plea, visitors are still coming ... and crowding into eateries

One Utah woman said she decided to come when she couldn’t cancel her flight.

I don't believe that the mayor of Kauai has the authority to close down interstate travel. I am fairly certain that would be a federal decision, or a brokered deal with the airlines.
