hamradio Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 4 hours ago, TheCid said: Goes far, far, far beyond people going to Myrtle Beach. BUT, the biggest problem is that Trump and the GOPers are pushing for beaches, bars, restaurants and everything else to open up - WIDE OPEN. And of course the business community is pushing just as hard for full re-openings. When you say "our slight increase," are you speaking as a South Carolinian? The greatest increase in S.C. is actually in Greenville-other end of the state. The West Virginia cases. Governor Justice specifically named Myrtle Beach. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Although I grew in that area of S.C. have rarely been back since I left. Myrtle Beach has never appealed to me - far too touristy. Although all those Yankee and Canadian dollars do help the state-gas, restaurant and lodging taxes in addition to sales taxes. Not to mention property taxes on commercial properties they utilize. Ironically a lot of people from the Upstate area of S.C. do go to MYB and other coastal areas, so I am sure that is contributing to rise in Greenville SC area. Not to mention the sorry state of the interstate between Spartanburg and the Coast. Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 @NBCNews · 23m Starr County, Texas, had COVID-19 under control with quarantine restrictions, closing businesses before the state ordered closures, ramping up testing, and implementing a curfew with fines and jail penalties. Then, Gov. Abbott overrode the local decisions. A Texas border county had the coronavirus under control. Then the governor stepped in. "They took the teeth away from us to be able to enforce anything," the city manager of the county's largest city says. the reopenings created a “false sense that it was OK to get together to go out, to gather between families,” and that led to a significant increase in cases, Vasquez said. "The governor erred," Carlos Martinez, a Rio Grande City restaurant worker, said. "We were doing very well" under the stricter regulations. He acknowledged the stricter rules had an economic impact on businesses, but said "health is more important" because "without health, there is no economy."......... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/texas-border-county-had-coronavirus-under-control-then-governor-stepped-n1232267?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma Link to post Share on other sites
