Why the fuck is this state opening the beaches? It’s like they never want social distancing to end.

the only way to get your freedom back is to take it.

What we've learn in the past week:
1. There are people whose interests are vested in keeping the lockdown going for as long as possible. You can identify them here because they always insist on double blind peer reviewed studies conducted over multiple years for anything that reduces the justification for lockdowns but accept without proof anything that makes the virus appear worse.
2. The virus is already in 50 to 100 times more people than previously thought. Most people never even notice they're infected and their bodies fight off the virus with little trouble.
3. The virus is much more infectious than previously believed. Everyone will get it.
4. It's nearly impossible to get it from surface contact. It's nearly impossible to avoid if you're near someone who already has it and is in the shedding phase.
5. It's 17 times more difficult to catch it outdoors, especially in windy or humid environments.
6. It kills mostly old and fat people. Almost every case of a "young healthy" person dying from it ends up turning out to be a complication from a health condition that wasn't previously announced.
7. Ventilators are a meme in 99% of the cases. Nowhere near as many are needed as projected (yes, the "everyone social distances" projections, not the "ignore it" projections) and those who are put on one have worse outcomes than those who are not, even after adjusting for their current medical condition.
Bottom line is social distancing and lockdowns have been ineffective due to the highly infectious nature of the virus. The scare mongering has been very effective but it now turns out to be 50 to 100 times less deadly than projected.
As much as we hate to admit it, Sweden was correct this time. They've frontloaded their deaths and are getting them quickly out of the way. While the rest of the world drags out for the rest of the year, they're going to quickly go back to normal. "Flattening the curve" has been an ineffective strategy.

Sunlight and humidity kills the virus and Florida has a lot of both
