State parks reopen Saturday May 2nd.:

[NJ Dave]

I just passed a local park in my area. The parking lot is completely full of cars and they are people everywhere. Naturally we're going to screw this up and the parks will soon be closed again.

Took my kids to Manasquan Reservoir this morning. We got there a little after 9AM. Both the main parking lot and the little parking lot on Georgia Tavern Road were closed with Gestapo stationed at the entrances. I guess they never got the governor's notice re-opening parks. Had to park on a side street and walk. There were A LOT of people walking and biking on the trails, A LOT, only maybe 10% wearing masks and no one maintaining distance.

It's going to end up in a herd immunity situation and many many more will die bc we're not patient enough as Americans to self isolate the virus into suppression while science works out treatments and a vaccination. And you CANNOT count on others to take the required precautions.

Like I said in a previous post, science--not impulse. What would 3 more weeks mean in a lifetime?

Hit up 2 different parks today fishing with my father and my sons roosevelt park in Edison and colonial park in Franklin fisherman were all socially distant from each other except the people on the bike trails and walking paths it was very overcrowded and it's not like people walking down the path can just take over the roads the cars drive on pops wanted to go to echo lake this afternoon I said not a good idea we will be going there early tomorrow morning. If they really want this to work park rangers should be stationed at the entrances to these parks to get a head count on people coming and going just like they do at any Walmart, Costco, or any other grocery store.
