From FOX 11 LA, "Los Angeles fills Venice Skate Park with sand to discourage prohibited gatherings":

Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation crews poured sand into the skate park on Thursday to deter large gatherings of people during the Safer at Home Orders.

"We've had continuous violators ... and we want them to stop," Rose Watson, a spokesperson for RAP, told City News Service. "We want them to follow the orders because the skate parks are closed until further notice. It's for the health and wellness of all L.A. residents."

Los Angeles city parks have been all but closed since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic, and Mayor Eric Garcetti even temporarily closed the open-space, grassy areas of the parks on Easter Sunday.

Among the closures are sports and recreation facilities, including golf courses, park trails, tennis courts, skate parks and more.

Remember how the government told us all months ago masks were useless for healthy people then turned around one day and admitting that was all a lie and mandated us to all wear them?

I'm going to predict right now that's going to happen next with these "stay at home orders" mandating people not leave their houses considering there's a wealth of evidence suggesting being outside in the sun and getting vitamin D actually helps prevent respiratory diseases.

The idea that people won't comply even if we make it easy and possible is unfounded. Besides, a lot of transmission occurs indoors! Keeping people indoors for too long will have many negative health consequences including reduced immunity—very high cost. https://t.co/GOXj5z9QR7

Folks, please check the evidence! The value of outdoors in fighting pandemics/infections is so strong that there are peer-reviewed papers recommending that we *encourage* people to spend more time outdoors during the next pandemic (this one!)! We just need to do it sensibly. pic.twitter.com/PK9yX6RY5S

Florida on Friday began reopening their public beaches with social distancing restrictions and prohibitions on gatherings of over 50 people.

Holy hell.

Today, Florida set a record of new coronavirus cases: 1,413 in the last 24 hours.

Florida’s total cases is now 24,753.

Today, @GovRonDeSantis allowed beaches back open.

We'll find out soon whether Armageddon befalls them.

Incidentally, some young folks at another skate park apparently cleared out the sand and started biking and skating again!
