I can see smaller parks like Silver Dollar City, Kennywood, Knobels, etc opening in the fall. They're smaller parks all around (ride count, attendance, work-force, demand, etc) so they'd be able to handle an early opening a lot better than Disney/Universal/Cedar Fair/Six Flags/Seaworld would.
Good point. They’re also region specific and don’t draw national crowds. So if a 100 mile radius around Silver Dollar City has very few cases, they should be able to safely open with restrictions.
Beaches reopening in FL tonight.
Jacksonville beaches reopened at 5pm on Friday under limited hours and use restrictions, even as Florida recorded its highest single-day increase in confirmed coronavirus cases.

Sigh. This isn’t smart at all.
I mean, hospitals still don’t have adequate PPE
*Some don’t. In fact very few don’t. The northeast has been hit the hardest (population density), but the large majority of the US hospitals have adequate PPE.
This is why we should not be opening up the country at all unless we all want to live like this the rest of the year, or 2 years.
Ironic statement. So to not prevent living like this for the rest of the year we should... live like this for the rest of the year?
“Opening up the country” is far to large a statement. Leave it up to the governors and local areas to determine.
1) There will not be another New York City
2) There are plenty of places in our nearly 4 million square mile country that can open small aspects today. New York, New Jersey, most of Michigan or New England? No.
Florida beaches? Hell no. Though even then, some rural beaches should be looked at on a county by county Or city by city level.
State parks in Texas? Yes.
Basically the entirety of Utah or North Dakota with limits on number of people? Absolutely.
There comes a certain point where so many ****ing stupid decisions are made that you start to wonder if we deserve it?
Mother Nature keeps trying to cull the population and we always stop her.
Texas is supposedly going to open as soon as this coming week. The first domino has fallen.
The guidelines are very mild for Texas.
Gov. Greg Abbott announced his plan to begin opening back up the Texas economy Friday, a multi-tiered approach spearheaded by the governor's handpicked Strike Force to Reopen Texas.

I don’t have anything I disagree with.
The biggest two things are:
State Parks: with Texas’ locations of state parks, they’re almost all in rural areas and they don’t lend themselves to any large gatherings. Limit of 5 people in a group. Also must wear masks and keep 6 feet distance unless with family.
Retail is opening but only with curbside delivery or at-home delivery. So similar to ordering wings from Buffalo Wild Wings and picking them up curbside; which is already happening.
That and officially cancelling schools and any graduation gatherings for the 2019-2020 school year (we’ve been out since first week of March).
It’s hard to disagree with any of those. Gets a few people back to work. Hopefully if people blow their stimulus money on retail, they can do it locally now and not online.
