I see a lot of places are closing beaches. Why? Putting people inside seems like it's likely to spread the disease. If you have them outside and social distancing, wouldn't that be better? Or is the fear that you'll be at one place on the sand from 9 until 11 and then leave and then someone else will sit on the same sand and get sick?

The order here is to stay indoors in your own house at all times unless going to get food, medicine or fuel. That's it. The thing with going to the beach is that people don't go to the beach alone. They go in groups. Government don't want people getting together and spreading the disease. Reality is that our health system is far weaker than the mainland. If we get a big outbreak here, it will be very ugly.

He is there with his family. Wife and 3 daughters. If they are spreading it, it will just be to themselves.

Well rules apply to everyone. They can't just give out exemptions.

Exacto brother! I was the on vacations too, Mayaguez Rincón area visiting my sisters and left Saturday morning. I think I got the right timing. Ironically managed to buy a lot of toilet paper at Selectos supermarkets since there was none back home in Dallas. Saludos!

??? How about, NO! As was already explained to you, they are doing it to limit groups of people getting together. If his family got it and went to the beach, they could easily spread it to others who are there, or vice versa. How is this hard for you to understand?

Viruses aren't going to spread around on the beach. They spread indoors, mainly on frequently touched surfaces, like door handles. I think the rule could be to stop people from using public transit? Unless they have already suspended public transit; in which case, it makes no sense to ban people from parks or beaches.
If it's a tourist beach, they obviously don't want crowds. That makes it easy for the virus to spread.
It worries me that these things aren't obvious to people.

Good timing. Not good for vacationing here at all right now. I love Rincón. My favorite local town to get away for a weekend. I stay at Horned Doorset at a friend's Villa.
BTW my daughter lives in Plano. I was supposed to go next week and run the Irvin half in prep for Boston. Shitty times.
Quite frankly, unless your friend is on the tail end of a two month vacation in Puerto Rico, it was pretty irresponsible to go traveling in the first place. People should really be taking this seriously. No more Spring Break 2020 attitude
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
