collective intelligence. Here we are, 4th inning of the Covid-19, and you get this? Not sure what to think but all I can say is I wish them luck, do not want to hear any crying if they get hospitalized and there seems to be no room.
Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.
- Jonathan Swift
I've only been to the "Jersey Shore" about 5-6 times

Usually go down to Ocean City, NJ and stay at a friends place which isn't near the boardwalk. Other beach I've been to is Asbury Park, but never when its busy.
calls it the Jersey Shore unless talking to someone who expects it...like some weird obligation
I've never been to AP beach...i moved away around the time that that area was transitioning from shady-as-shit to trendy AF
the 'shady-as-shit' side of it made it a good place to go party/concert/etc, of course...you just had to accept that you might get stabbed in the process
Traffic was very low for morning rush this am. Almost everyone in Publix was wearing a mask.
But alas the market forces are catching up. One of the pleasant things is how much money we've saved cleaning our own house, and eating at home 95% of the time. Those two little things are huge savings. Add in less spent on gas, and the savings have been nice. BUT, the market will do what it will do.
Groceries are borderline ridiculous. People are going to spend X on food. If they stop spending at restaurants, and buy more groceries, then grocery prices go up. But man, those grocery savings are vanishing.
There is one established fact about the Chinese plague.

No one has a clue what's going to happen next.
We've been bounced around for nearly six months by people who claim to know. Their track record is barely equal to Ted Williams best season. That's good for baseball but no so much when 350 million people are expecting 'health experts,' to tell us how to survive. You could flip a coin and do as well.
I'm leaning toward supporting America's chickenpox party and letting the people who are health enough to survive run free and do what they want. I'm not going to attend but that might be the best way to deal with this. I give this a 50/50 chance of being the right remedy so I'm not arguing with anyone who thinks it's crazy or anyone who thinks a mix of those two is the better option.
Putting sick covid patient in nursing homes was crazy. Please measure my crazy to that.
that kind of picture "lies" in a lot of ways. Because it's taken from a certain angle, and from a distance, it looks like people are closer together than they actually are. You see the same effect when you take pictures of rows of buildings from far away, when they look like they're touching each other rather than separated by streets and sidewalks.
As businesses reopen and people take to the beaches and parks, you’ve probably seen news photos or video that appear to show people packed into dense crowds, blithely ignoring social distancing guidelines. But these photos can be misleading, and it’s thanks to a camera trick.
I wouldn't mind seeing an aerial photo.
Ultimately though, any beach that has someone within 100 feet of me is too crowded.
