Wow, that's quite an aggressive response, no?

The solution to your problem is to not allow large gatherings on the beach. That's pretty simple, right? We're doing that already everywhere else - lines to get into stores, etc. Or enforce wearing a mask? There's plenty of ways to do this that don't result in a squad of cops running down a solo jogger, or a task force of patrol boats and helicopters for a solo surfer... just because the Mayor or County Health Official said it must be so!

So, what's wrong, for the 3rd time, with a solo jogger on the beach, with nobody around them?

The answer, for a 3rd time, is nothing.

> However, you know what sucks more for locals? Getting Covid 19 from a bunch of out-of-towners

You really think that risk doesn't exist for locals going to grocery stores too? Touching a can of food, then putting it back on the shelf? Handling paper money, grocery bags, etc.

What we have here are not rules for the sake of safety. What we have here are not rules for the sake of "Flattening the Curve".

No, we have rules for the sake of rules. They make some people feel safer, even though there's zero evidence to suggest they are effective at achieving their intended goals. The reason people are disobeying these "orders" is because the government has not done a sufficient job convincing people the rules are based on logic and actual science, not "science" and politics.

It is not inherently more risky to jog on the beach by yourself than to go sit at an outdoor restaurant, no mask, and be around a bunch of other people.

It would be intellectually dishonest to argue otherwise. Yet, here we are.
