Jax and Coronavirus

Nordstrom Jax not amongst the closures.

Only two in Florida. Dadeland Mall in Miami and a store in Naples.

The Naples store is a little surprising given that the next closest Nordstrom is Tampa?! That store could be changed to a nice grocery store like the High Street Kensington Whole Foods in London.

The only place I can find the list is Business Insider. Of all people Nordstrom would confirm the list to, I'd be surprised if they actually did. But it could be right.

I'd need to digest, but, it does appear they're leaving some markets like Naples. Richmond, VA and San Juan, PR are others.

My latest trip to Publix and I was definitely in the masked minority when it came to customers. SSS but that seemed to change quickly. Hopefully not too quickly.

Weird, right?

I've noticed the same thing.

Two weeks ago, over half of the shoppers at my Publix were wearing masks.

Went yesterday, I was maybe one of five people wearing one.

Even employees had them pulled down around their necks rather on their faces.

Driving through 5 Points and Shoppes of Avondale there was no evidence of a pandemic that I could see.

San Marco Square still very subdued.

Either we have massively overreacted or there are gonna be a lot of sick people in the immediate future.

And my wife says the Publix on University is now featuring a Salad Bar.....strange timing IMO.

Five Weeks Local Favorite Rare Restaurant (s) No Go and it appears , Thankfully, Healed from Restaurant. It was all about convenience and boredom. We laughed and farted all the way home.Have saved hundreds of dollars past few weeks.
No more.
Peered inside Avondale Fox window today..... posted on the end of the counter bar: high tech hand written note: " Eat Me ".
I have always admired The Owner. And will never walk through the Fox door again.  Not because of the owner, and message, both of which I admire ( Thirty year Fox Patronage) but " Just Because". Restaurant Healed.
The best meals are at Home.

Eat Me

Hopefully we are just being paranoid.

Having gone to college in the early 70s ... "You can never be too paranoid."

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

A bit worried about people blowing off social distancing too quickly. Hopefully we are just being paranoid.

Speaking of 'blowing off'....

I honestly couldn't stand it before, but now I absolutely hate it.  I get not wearing a FM or maintaining a hardcore 6' clearance from everyone, but these douche-canoes that are OK with sitting outside of a restaurant and blowing huge clouds of vape deserve a special place in hell. 

I had my heart set on some Biggie's pizza Friday night, but said douche-canoes were the reason that I went to Carmines.  Not a total loss, but seriously, WTF is wrong with people.

But DeSantis promised them the virus is gone!  Shouldn't that be enough?

I don't think he did... please provide proof...

[jcjohnpaint]

Action is enough proof

[Peter Griffin]

Action is enough proof

No it's not.

[BridgeTroll]

Action is enough proof

Actually... you are wrong again.

[jcjohnpaint]

Sorry you are right Troll.  There was lack of action in every way.  My bad.  Being a politician does not make you a leader

State wide stay at home order? Statewide closure of dining rooms? Statewide closure of gyms? State funding of testing sites after federal pullout? C'mon dude, Florida responded and we appear to have flattened the curve. The majority of our hospitals were not overwhelmed, and our overall caseload is not unmanageable. The goal was never to stop the spread, despite how many people have misquoted or misconstrued the message, the goal was to slow the spread so medical services were not overwhelmed.

Humans aren't omniscient nor omnipotent, and reacting earlier by grossly overstepping executive powers doesn't magically stop viruses from spreading.
