The people on the beach aren't working there and aren't there because they're broke. They're not taking this seriously. They need to.

Better be broke than dead

Plenty of jobs in undertaking - my partner is one. They're hiring as fast as people will sign up.

I work in tourism, I have no income, I'm depressed and on the dole. But you know what? I can survive poverty for a year or two. But I can't raise the dead. I several high risk people among family and friends and I don't want to lose them,. Stay at home, keep your distance. And pray for a vaccine.

I'm a volunteer. I make nothing. Zero. I go in and risk it. As a volunteer. And I have PTSD, so if you think this is easy on me going *out*? Guess again... Just wanted to put that out there. (BTW, a DOCTOR here committed suicide. THat's useful, right? B/c people want to go have a cuppa at Starbucks?)

The beach is free, and if you are out of a job and it’s hot then I can see why you would want to go. Keep your distance from others, just like anywhere else.

Actually, her father would not benefit from so called herd immunity. He would be one of the ones to die. Herd immunity occurs by the weak (immune compromised), sick, old and injured dying off. Hope no one in your family matches that description.

Those who are "healthy" have NO IDEA if they really are...since they could be completely asymptomatic and unknowingly spread it EVERYWHERE...including to Deanna's father and others. That is the point, Cesi. You all keep talking about the "healthy"...when you have NO way of knowing if they are truly healthy or not!! Not having symptoms does not mean you do not have the virus! We are nowhere near at capacity to test like we have to! And NO, "getting your nails done" is NOT worth the risk. Come to the hospital that I work at see for yourself those literally DROWING in their own lung secretions...and are 28 or 32 years old with families...life is not "fair" and if you want to keep YOURS or prevent others from losing theirs...it is NOT time yet!!

You are correct, that is the definition of herd immunity. What you are leaving out is how it is achieved. Someone with a compromised immune system is unlikely to survive the disease so as to develop immunity. When you look at how herd immunity evolves in nature, my statement stands. Do a little more research yourself dear, don't just stop,at the part you want to hear, research the whole process. My statement was based on research I,and my daughter did almost 20years ago for her school project. The information on how herd immunity is achieved has not changed in millinea. BTW, I did not say there was anything wrong with going outside, so long as the CDCs recommendations are followed.

Want to go on living? Sure. Just make sure to attend all the funerals you cause. Herd immunity will happen when everyone who is susceptible to this virus is dead. If you want to make that happen, just make sure you can live with the consequences, morally speaking.

Wow people are just outright lying about HERD IMMNUNITY. Seriously just stop! Herd immunity does not occur when the weak and old and everyone who is susceptible to this illness dies off Lol. Here is the actual meaning according to the CDC .... Herd immunity (also known as community immunity) is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as “a situation in which a sufficient proportion of a population is immune to an infectious disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness) to make its spread from person to person unlikely.”...... Please stop trying to scare people and guilt trip them into believing that they are killing others just by going outside. It won’t work anymore and you are the ones who really should be ashamed for spreading disinformation and panic.

@ Cesi Baca...Pulmonary therapist. It has been ROUGH, and this story is FAR, FAR from an "embellishment".

You said “you are THERE“ .......What does that mean? Are you a nurse or doctor?
