Default Florida begins Phase 3 re-opening plan immediately

Restaurants, bars and other businesses can open at 100% capacity. Not sure I'm on board for that at this point. Sad to say, hubby and I will not be dining in as much as we have in the past when occupancy was 50%. It is still too hot for us to dine outside. Not happy with this decision to go ahead with Phase 3 of Florida's re-opening plan.

Seems early. It will swing back in about three weeks.

Fine. No one is making you go anywhere. But for all the out of work people trying to feed their families I say good and I believe they won't do anything stupid to put their family at risk. For those who look at this as a reason to cosy up at the bar with a few dozen others, well, Darwin comes to mind.

I still plan to wear a mask whenever I am indoors (at Publix, a store or a restaurant). I probably won't go to a restaurant if the waitstaff doesn't wear masks.
My life isn't going to return to normal. But I really do hope numbers continue to decline and things do return to normal.

Agreed. I still plan on wearing a mask inside buildings that aren't my own, washing my hands and/or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer more often than I did before the pandemic, and maintaining somewhat of a distance with other people.

Maybe not 6 feet, or maybe I won't care too much if I'm standing behind someone, as opposed to facing them.

If other tables are too close to us we reserve the right to turn and leave.

Too early for this, the last time they opened things up people died.

Common sense is all that is needed to stay safe. Wear a mask, sanitize your hands - it will keep you from contracting other infectious diseases too. Just moved here, can't wait to experience the squares.

It is just so simple if you are unhealthy and at risk, stay home. If not, stop living in fear. The CDC has revealed that 94% of reported deaths were not solely due to the deadly virus. No one wants to be sick, but understand that viruses have existed in our ecosystem since the beginning of time. Use good hygiene and some common sense and try to get beyond this apocolyptic fear driven mentality.
