'An absolute hot spot': Myrtle Beach braces for tourists despite COVID-19 outbreaks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Myrtle Beach was bracing Wednesday for an invasion of Fourth of July weekend revelers undeterred by reports that the South Carolina tourist mecca has been identified as a coronavirus hot spot.

The Grand Strand, as it’s called, has been linked to outbreaks that have sickened some 200 people, mostly teens, in Virginia. And the governors of nearby West Virginia and Kentucky have warned their constituents to stay away.

“Myrtle Beach is an absolute hot spot and, if I were you, I would consider going somewhere else,” West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said earlier this week.

Like Florida, Arizona and Texas, South Carolina is one of the states that was quick to reopen its economy and has now seen a rapid rise in new COVID-19 cases even as the pandemic has slowed elsewhere in the country.

3. I just PM'ed my friend who lives in Myrtle Beach.

We went to HS together. Friends on FB.

He used to be a real bad ass in school and is now an evangelical minister, semi-retired.

He doesn't like Trump really but loves what Trump has done for the evangelicals.

We've stayed friendly as we don't attack each other's positions.

After I read the above article, the first thing I wanted to do was to warn him.

4. Maybe they should stay home instead of "going someplace else",

as the Governor urges.
