‘I steered clear of them’: Ocean City, other beach towns attract Memorial Day crowds, some not wearing masks or social distancing

The photos from Ocean City this weekend have been jarring to many.

Throngs of beachgoers crowded the city’s iconic boardwalk. Few wore masks. Many appeared to be standing closer than the recommended 6 feet apart.

Lauri Dixon was there.

“What I was surprised at was the amount of people that weren’t wearing their masks or weren’t social distancing,” said Dixon, an Edgewater resident who has owned a condominium in Ocean City for the past decade with her husband, Leroy. “They congregated without masks. I was surprised to see that many people. I understand people wanting to get out. But they need to do physical distancing and wear their masks.”

I am just amazed at how many people are buying in to this "wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart" nonsense.

I agree 100 percent. If you don't wear a mask you are not cool - I guess.🤔

If masks work why are we social distancing...if social distancing works why are we wearing masks and if they both work why are the businesses closed???!!!

12:14 what are you doing about it besides being a key board warrior. Nothing but calling people names. My wife and I wear our mask everyday to work because that’s what our companies tell us to do. Maybe we should give up our careers to sit home and be keyboard tough guy or girl like you. Some of us can’t afford to stay home and collect unemployment.

Awwwww Poor Lauri Dixon. She was "surprised at was the amount of people that weren’t wearing their masks or weren’t social distancing," Poor thing she was "surprised." All this "surprised" her. Lauri Dixon oh she's so virtuous.
Fact is it's none of her business. People like Lauri Dixon are low in self esteem have no self worth and need to prop themselves up and this is why she felt so compelled to say this to that paper.

This woman Lauri Dixon is a paranoid fruit loop. Leroy needs to immediately file a petition for an emergency mental evaluation. She is clearly not normal in the head. With the paranoia she's got going on she is a clear danger to others. Don't say I didn't' warn when the next thing you know she goes postal or something

BINGO 1147. 2nd 3rd 4th order effects were never initially taken into consideration.

Now its "ketchup" time and a mess.

6 ft distancing was the 2nd week into this. Now if you cough/sneeze, yeck even YELL - particules go beyond 6 ft.

From the CDC Jan 21 - now, over 79% of deaths are age 65 and older.

Majority of those who have the most cases under 65 years of age.

Interesting.

Masks do not work. Even fauci was saying that before. What changed his mind all of a sudden? Anyone familiar with OSHA knows about masks. There isn't one that will keep drywall particles out completely and virons are much much smaller.
As far as keeping any virus particles contained the best would be a surgical mask the kind where on one side is blue. You wear the white on the inside because it absorbs and the blue on the outside because it's waterproof. A surgical mask will do little to no good to prevent infection. cloth masks are a joke so if anyone is in to mask shaming a lot of people who are wearing one should be shamed also.

1:54. You don’t need to gauge anything from June 8th. Just stop. If corona was that bad Walmart would be the epicenter. Everyone in the country was a t Walmart without masks, gloves or social distancing for a long time. The death rate is not much higher than the flu. Get a grip.

12:36. You have to do what your company says but the vast majority of people know that masks don’t work. The left is using them to keep the fear level up over an over hyped virus.

Just wait for the numbers.


Wait for it.

Wait for it...

And when they DO jump, it will be 'crickets' on here from all of these deniers. They're great at insulting others and rubbing your nose in it, but never able to admit when they are wrong. Never.

Mask do nothing to prevent your breath from escaping. To prove this, have a smoker take a big draw on a cigarette, then put a mask on and exhale. The smoke will come out. Trust me, mask do absolutely nothing.

So I'm waiting 8:04, and waiting, and waiting, and still waiting for the truthful numbers to come out. Problem is, there are no truthful numbers, all bogus. Most deaths are from underlying conditions but reported as corona virus deaths.
