Anyone want to talk about the Sunshine in the Sunshine state having an impact

It’s better for your health overall. The vitamin d energizes you and and we don’t sit indoors on the couch, gorging takeout, getting stoned, or drinking gallons of beer to pass the time.

We actually get constant activity because it’s possible here.

It seems like it does. During one of the task force briefings they went into some detail on how sunlight and air temps can significantly shorten how long the virus can survive. in 70-75 degrees and direct sunlight it lives less than 2 minutes on a surface. In same conditions but in aerosol it is less than 1.5 minutes. Of course this does not help us when we are all indoors. It still kills me how many non-Floridians get upset if we go to the beach. Our beach is large and maintaining distancing is easier there than most places. I guess they think we are all spring breakers hanging out in a huge party or something. Nope, just going for walk.

Not to mention that the beach has a cleansing effect. The salt water is great for skin infections and general disinfection. Between the sun, salt, and constant breeze, the beach is likely the safest place to be right now.
