Dense crowds of beachgoers soak up the disease in Florida
Clearwater beach was packed to the waterline Tuesday, crowded by visitors hoping to make the most of the coronavirus pandemic by contracting it and spreading it to as many other people as possible.
Despite pleas from health and government officials asking people to practice social distancing in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, many are ignoring those requests.
On Monday, the beaches were still packed in Clearwater, Florida, with spring breakers electing to ignore the public health crisis. Spotlighted in pictures that have quickly gone viral, hundreds of people can be seen partying on the beach like its just another day. According to Tampas WFTS, Clearwater officials may not vote on whether to close down beaches until Thursday.
After all these years, Project Normandy finally has a beach head.
