Coronavirus pandemic sends some to second homes, vacation towns tell tourists 'don't come here'

As tens of millions of Americans are told to stay home and avoid gatherings to help slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, some are heading to vacation homes in communities that are telling tourists to just stay away out of fears resources could be overwhelmed in sleepy off-season hamlets.

Sunday morning, the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. had reached over 26,747 with at least 340 deaths, with the highest number of coronavirus infections in New York, Washington, and California.

In New Jersey, which has some 1,300 cases and at least 16 deaths, Gov. Phil Murphy urged residents who have homes at the Jersey Shore to not go to them as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread.

“The local infrastructure, especially the health care infrastructure, and especially in off-season, is not prepared for the influx of part-time residents,” Murphy said Saturday during a press conference. “There’s absolutely no excuse for a party at the beach. Please stay at your primary residences."

    Quarantine in your home, in your state, where you belong.

    The Baltimorons are coming with their infections. OC better block their three ways in and out. Ocean Pines is SOL. Stay the hell away from Northern Worcester County. Those old retirees from the western shore are going to die in droves.

    Sorry it should have said "our" enconmy - vice "your" economy. Does that sound better - Don't be so nasty. There is enough hatred in this world. Hope I said that correctly 😂😂😂😂
