As COVID-19 cases surge, many Americans are ignoring health guidelines with beach days and vacations. Pretending the coronavirus crisis doesn't exist will just stretch it out longer.

But recognize that summer 2020 may not be the best time to go big or go home with your vacation plans. Living your best life on a boat or on a tropical island or gathering three generations of your family for a week at the lake isn’t responsible.told us, no amount of denial or extensive vacation plans will make the current situation easier to swallow.

But denial also means we underestimate risk, which can end up creating a more dangerous situation, Aldao said. When we crave escapism, it’s really about finding a healthy balance between escape and reality. “In the case of COVID, understanding the risks we take and being OK with that ... is a more balanced, psychologically healthy approach than pretending the risk is zero,” she explained.How to manage our expectations when we really want to get away.Normalize doing nothing and instead start envisioning your big blowout trip for when it’s safe. Take a long view of your vacation goals ., even if you have nowhere to go and no plans to speak of.

“For example, if you’re itching to go to a house party with friends because you miss laughing with them, can you instead grab a drink or coffee with one or two of them in an open, outdoor space while wearing a mask and practicing social distance?” she said.

You mean Plandemic professional teams are playing like MBL NBA NHL Scandemic CovidHoax So go to the beach and enjoy yourself 😎

Agreed though it would helpif our governments would stop sending mixed messages. You can’t ask educators to go back to work with 800 people in one school and the day don’t socialize closely with more than 10 people.

The Virus is the Media Plandemic CovidHoax

We - by definition there is NO pandemic... we own dictionaries and can read, which apparently is beyond your 'reporting' staff. Just make sure you don't ask real questions... makes the fear based click bait so much easier... coronavirus canada yyc yvr yyz

The CCP Virus is still around but not clogging hospitals. Go back to work before our economy is completely ruined for the commies/liberal incompetents to take over. The vulnerable must remain cautious.

So does pretending it does exist.

Facts

Actually false. We are going toward herd immunity in this way. Moreover flattening the curve never was about avoiding cases. Only spreading them over a longer period.

It's truly amazes me that this discussion is occuring in August. Did no one listen in April?

Right on well written

Smh 😂

the beach is very low risk. outside in the wind and sun, with room to spread out. staying home in an apartment building is often higher risk. focus on real risks, like bars, restaurants, or close-contact sports

They deserve the consequences

Go for it. This is not the Plague. It’s treatable. 🍷😎

Thank u for the info and kiss my ass

Because C-19 is being fear DRIVEN bc the left must get DJT out. We’ve been informed our kid’s schools r reopening. Facts: Kids may be asymptomatic, don’t get sick or pass it on. And hydroxychloroquine works.

Can’t fix stupid

So are our Governors with no mask mandate, no travel bans etc etc.

Only the hypocritical democrats will be upset about families going to the beach but then go out and riot.

People who don’t want to go out are free to stay home .

Give us liberty

I was at the beach in NC today and luckily it was nothing like this. Probably 50' at least between anyone else and even in the water people were staying away from each other.

According to TheDemocrats only one of these activities is ok to do.

Being on the beach is all that matters. Doing what they want is more important than saving lives. Not caring that they're spreading COVID is the point. Donald and Putin have gotten EXACTLY what they want: the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans and sickness of millions.

How about stop trying NOT to live...

Each one of us makes a choice everyday. Prolong this damn virus from going away . Or try your best ,( like your life depends on it ) to stop it.SMH

Well just compare the country next to USA, Canada, and look at their loss, you'll have a answer about what is a good and a terrible management of a health crisis..

It really makes it hard on everyone when individuals don't take an active role in their own health.

Give someone an inch they will take a mile.

I agree

This country deserves all that's coming to it. If you can't even bother yourself to wear a mask in protection of yourself and your neighbor, you have no business as a human being. But here we are.

Yes HuffPost please tell this to the protestors in Portland, Chicago and other places... not just the beach goers.

If you’re going to call out vacationers for being irresponsible for spreading Covid, I assume you will be doing a similar article on the protesters and rioters being irresponsible in spreading it. The stats in those cities are on the rise.

The HuffPost is a rag.

You obviously have no concept of how herd immunity works. The exact opposite is true. The longer we lock down, the longer this whole thing drags on. It’s not going away until herd immunity is reached, stop acting like we can get rid of it forever by avoiding the beach.
