Huge Crowds Ignore Social Distancing (Pt.2)

Someone on a previous thread concluded that 'ethnics are more likely to die' not because of poverty, but because of religious observance.

Two questions:

1. What will Trump supporters die of?

2. Is it possible that the large number workers from ethnic minority backgrounds working in the NHS mean that proportionally, they face a greater risk of infections...maybe from tending to...sunbathers?

[sp1814]

I was referring to the British sunbathers.

I’m sure you were too.

[royfromaus]

Is there a significant problem with sunbathers visiting the hospitals?

I think there is more danger from the police and clap-happy crowds who appear to have the backing of the police gathering outside hospitals on a Thursday.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, I’d like some clarification from sp on the ‘sunbathers’ comment too.

[sp1814]

Sunbathers - on this site, there have been certain people who have cast aspersions on why people from ethnic backgrounds are dying more.

Turn it around.

They've brought race into AB.

Why is race never an issue at Cheltenham, or with the (non-ethnic) sunbathers?

They only want to talk about race when it suits them.

[royfromaus]

Well, that's cleared things up. ;0/

[Zacs-Master]

Yep. Crystal clear now.

[naomi24]

Err ...hmm ... yes..

[iluvmargie]

In my local park yesterday, the police ordered some sunbathers to go home, they did albeit very reluctantly. Just saying.

Lol, Mighty rum sporting event with no race.

[jno]

a lot better for the country if there hadn't been any race at Cheltenham

sp1814, you're still using words of two syllables or more, no wonder people are having difficulty understanding you..

[naomi24]

Come on, jno. You can do better than that.

Early this morning, on a quite contentious thread which is now closed, someone, I forget who, was insisting that the beaches in Florida were now open. Take a look here and scroll across the bottom to see more beaches. Do you see any crowded beaches? https://www.earthcam.com/usa/florida/naples/?cam=naplespier

Here's an example of UK social distancing disobedience. I would imagine this might just be a minority group!

Tragic outcome.

[shoota]

Florida and Georgia too:

[sanmac]

Well, Shoota, that's quite a juxtaposition isn't it? All of the live EarthCam views of beaches that I have watched show no activity, even down-town Key-West is pretty well deserted. Are those Youtube views current?
Here's a view of part of Miami Beach: https://www.earthcam.com/usa/florida/miamiandthebeaches/?cam=miamibeach1

[shoota]

From what I gather San it's not statewide, but some individual counties have decided to re-open their beaches.
The admin system in US is too complex IMO.

[sanmac]

You're right, very complex, and also very confusing under the circumstances.
