Our friend new Cape Cod, you should find some vistas and chill. Breathe that in and chill. Then, return home and netflix and chill. All in moderation
We have to approach this rationally but with optimism. If we gonna die baby, we gonna die. Everybody must die sometime. Fear helps no one.
South Florida, the ultimate Spring Break locale, closed nothing until today. Plenty still remains open. This is the Petri dish. Wait two weeks and see how many cases emerge. If it's Italy, then things will get serious, nationwide.
First, I must express regret and even a disdain(?) w a lol about comparing southern california to south florida. Or that horny teens won't contract things even when not in a national shutdown. That area is gross (omg did I say that) and is not like what I described. If you haven't been here, you have people of all kinda just walking up and down the blvd taking in the sea air, families, dog walkers. All of them "together" in those areas are no risk. They aren't together. It's not the same as everyone sitting in a closed room for dinner. You say you live by the Cape(s) you should know this. Only difference you have the prevailing air blowing opposite direction. Ventilation is important when understanding such a transmission of anything like a virus or illness.
This as opposed to groups of drunk college students laying on each other in hotel rooms and sunbathing like roaches in the sunny humidity. And yes, them all returning to their place of origin, that's just a nasty concept with all this. One person there will give it to ten then all of them back to their respective towns and communities.
Just like herpes! lmao
