Yes, some beaches in Florida are reopening, as they are here in North Carolina. In both cases, it has been made quite clear that no sunbathing is allowed. People can exercise. See, they told us that we should social distance. We said “OK.” They said we could be out and about for exercise. We said “OK.” Then they said “NO, YOU SHOULDN’T BE OUT OF YOUR HOME. STAY HOME. NO WALKING ON BEACHES OR BEING IN THE WATER!” Seriously, if we are social distancing, what’s the problem?
Guy To Travel Around Florida Dressed As The Grim Reaper To The Beaches That Opened Prematurely
Imagine you’re at the beach enjoying the waves washing over your feet and the sun warming your skin. That’s when you notice a tall, black-robed figure with a scythe out of the corner of your eye. You take a better look and that’s when you realize it’s the Grim Reaper!
Florida lawyer Daniel Uhlfelder plans to travel around his state beaches from May 1 to warn people about the dangers of not social distancing—all dressed up as the Grim Reaper. Uhlfelder was quite obviously inspired to do this by New Zealand’s public service campaign where a person dresses up as the infamous Swim Reaper to promote water safety and tries to prevent deaths from drowning.
While Uhlfelder’s main message is to make sure that Floridians know how important it is to stay at home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, he also plans to use his Reaper get-up to raise money for Democrats running for federal office.
Wait, what was that last part? So, this really isn’t about staying at home? Or is it saying that Democrats want to restrict the movement of citizens? Or is he just trying to draw attention to his law firm?
Many of you have asked if I am willing to travel around Florida wearing Grim Reaper attire to the beaches and other areas of the state opening up prematurely. The answer is absolutely yes. Beginning May 1 we will hit the road here in state. Please retweet and spread the word. pic.twitter.com/UO7QKg161n

Some people are very upset that beaches are slowly re-opening. Here’s an idea: don’t go. Stay home. Stop telling people what to do.
