Sunbathers enjoy the Fisherman's Warf beach in Monterey, California, Aug. 1, 2020, amid the Coronavirus outbreak."I think it's our job, as public health officials, to be able to get a message to each American that says if you have chosen to go on vacation into a hot spot, you really need to come back and protect those with comorbidities and assume you're infected," Birx said."It is extraordinarily widespread ... it's both rural and urban," Birx said.

More than 487,000 people across the state have been diagnosed with COVID-19. Florida is the second highest state for number of cases, behind California. The"State of Disaster" imposes a six-week lockdown with restrictions including: an overnight curfew; mandatory face coverings; remote learning; and shopping limited to one-person per household per day.

Why was it ok for Fauci to go?

Looks like masks also slow the spread by stopping baseball coaches from kissing. 👍

Hahah they look so ridiculous your not going to stop the virus may as get it and be done with it.. God will be done

Because a majority of Florida’s testing sites closed due to the Storm !

This is truly shameful. Florida is like being in a third world country.

Imagine the same said about aids: you are not a virgin, consider you are HIV positive. Move on.

Shut down sports. All of them. No pay this year or until covid is completely destroyed.

Although that is a high percent rate, it is better to fall than raise at least.

Are they going to kiss?

Neither of those old men about to make out in their masks are Cardinals .. just pointing that out.

They look like they bout to kiss

Weird you have braves coaches on a cardinals story... idiots

Australia's government to back Victoria's strict coronavirus lockdownAustralia's government expressed support on Sunday for the strictest social-distancing measures yet by the state of Victoria in an effort to contain the new coronavirus. No freedoms in Australia. Nice to know the government there can arbitrarily decide how long basic freedoms & civil liberties will be taken away. Meanwhile, idiot Liberals in America are upset because they have freedom. They would love nothing more than an authoritarian crackdown! Responsible federal leadership. We have ZERO here.

Australia's Victoria declares disaster, sets curfew to curb COVID-19Australia's Victoria state declared a disaster on Sunday and imposed a nightly curfew for the capital Melbourne as part of its harshest movement restrictions to date to contain a resurgent COVID-19. Wear a mask. Don't touch your eyes, nose, face, junk or butthole until you've washed your hands or used hand sanitizer. Just do what we do here in America and let hundreds of thousands of people die, way easier. But if you listen to CNN you walk away with the impression that COVID19 is only a problem in the US because of Trump. You mean Australia is having a hard time with COVID too?! Is Trump also in charge of Australia? 🙄
