By CHRIS GEORGE Tampa Bay Newspapers

BELLEAIR — A few bad apples may spoil all of the green space for the residents of Belleair. That was the message the town manager and police chief delivered to commissioners April 2 when they said a lack of adherence to social distancing requirements at parks and golf courses may lead to both being closed. During an update on Belleair’s response to the coronavirus crisis, Town Manager J.P. Murphy said police offi cers are receiving several complaints about people outside not following social distancing guidelines, which require groups of 10 or less with people spaced 6 feet apart. “Some folks aren’t taking it seriously as we really want them too,” he said, citing, for example, larger than usual crowds at the bluff for sunsets. Police Chief Rick Doyle said, in most cases, people say they are family members, which is hard to verify. In other cases, he said offi cers are just doing their best to discourage the behavior, which is leading to some unpleasant encounters. “I could say we had more peo- Photo by KARLA RETTSTATT ple in the parks that are basically Signs around town put it bluntly: Follow the social distancing telling us to just pound sand and guidelines or the parks may close. buzz off,” he said. “The goal of this whole thing is not for us to be issues,” he said. risk. ing citations and putting people in However, Murphy said the clubs Therefore, he is asking offi cers jail.

Even if they qualify, it will take time. They need to open their doors and start making money again. The need is great. The sacrifi ce has been enormous for us all. No one could have ever imagined the horror of a novel virus for which we have no immunity, no vaccine and no proven treatment methods taking over our world. It’s more like something out of a science fi ction book. But it is our reality. Some have said coronavirus is no worse than the fl u. And that might be true, if you compare it to the time before there was a fl u vaccine and doctors knew how to treat it. The 1918 infl uenza pandemic was the most severe in recent history, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It spread worldwide in 1918-1919. An estimated 500 million people, about one-third of the world’s population, was infected. Deaths numbered 50 million with 675,000 of those occurring in the United States. No vaccine existed. No antibiotics were available for secondary infections. At least we have antibiotics now. The only method that existed to combat the pandemic was quarantines, isolation, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants and social distancing. The fl u vaccine makes all the difference. It’s the only reason more people don’t get sick and die during a regular fl u season each year. So, even though it’s 2020, we have to do things the old-fashioned way. Again, there is no vaccine and no treatment. Health experts can only prescribe quarantines, isolation, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants and social distancing. There are some subtle signs that the prescription is working. But that doesn’t mean the danger is over. It’s not time to come out of our shelters to celebrate that the big ole monster is gone. We don’t yet know if the coast is clear. And we want to make darn sure the bogeyman is not hiding behind a bush when we walk out our front door. To be stomped fl at by Godzilla after all we’ve been through would be nothing short of tragic. We’re made it this long. We can make it a bit longer. One thing the coronavirus has shown us is our weaknesses and our strengths. We weren’t prepared. But we’re stepping up and fi ghting with Letters to the Editor all our might anyway.

GULFPORT — It’s only been a few months since legendary folk singer-songwriter John Prine appeared on the stage at Clearwa- ter’s Ruth Eckerd Hall delighting his devoted fans with an engaging setlist of songs — some sad, all honest — and endearing obser- vations. How the world has changed since that Dec. 7 concert. Prine died April 7 in a Nashville hospital due to complications from COVID-19.
