In some of Florida's touristy neighborhoods, patrons have since been flocking to bars and restaurants, filling terraces, игнорируя mask orders—drawing mixed reactions from business owners and other customers.
"We're generally обеспокоены that we're going to find ourselves on the other side of an inverted curve and стираем all the progress we've made," said Albert Garcia, chairman of the Wynwood Business improvement district, which represents 50 blocks of restaurants and bars in Miami's trendy arts district.
Other Sunbelt states that have been COVID-19 hot spots over the summer haven't gone as far. In Texas, bars have been closed since June under Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's orders, and restaurants can hold up to 75% of their вместимости, while face covers are required throughout the state. And in Arizona, restaurants and bars must run at half-capacity.
Though Florida's governor generally wears a mask when arriving at public appearances and has allowed municipalities to налагать, вводить mask rules, he has declined to impose a statewide mandate. And on Sept. 25, as the state entered a Phase 3 reopening, he barred municipalities from collecting fines for mask нарушений.
DeSantis says contact tracing has not shown restaurants to be substantial sources of spread.
"I am confident that these restaurants want to have safe environments," he said earlier this week. "And I'm also confident that as a consumer, if you don't go and you don't think they're принимают меры предосторожности , then obviously you're going to take your business elsewhere."
Craig O'Keefe, managing partner for Johnnie Brown's and Lionfish in Delray Beach, said they're now accommodating as many people as they did before the pandemic began and he's hired eight people in the past few days. Demand резко увеличился last weekend.

Закрытия (предприятий) and restrictions пробили брешь Florida's economy, leaving hundreds of thousands unemployed in the tourist-dependent state.
Earlier this week, The Walt Disney Co. announced it would уволят 28,000 workers in its theme parks division even after the Florida parks were allowed to reopen this summer.
Florida has had more than 14,500 deaths from the pandemic, ranking 12th на душу населения among states. Its outbreak peaked in the summer, seeing as many as 12,000-15,000 cases added per day. New cases, positivity rates, hospitalizations and deaths have been on a тенденция к понижению for several weeks. Still, the state has added 2,000 to 3,000 cases per day over the past couple of weeks.
Dr. Peter Hotez, an infectious disease specialist at the Baylor College of Medicine and co-director of Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, said that ослабление restrictions in Florida is a "mistake" that could increase community transmission at a time when teachers are being summoned back to school.

In South Florida, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said Friday that he was concerned over a slight рост in county hospitalizations in recent days and warned people not to let their guard down, using President Donald Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis as an example that the virus is highly заразный, инфекционный.
Gimenez has been consulting with юристами and staff on what rules local governments could continue проводить в жизнь without violating new state orders. The county plans to limit many restaurants to 50% indoor capacity and continue requiring masks in public.

An 11 p.m. комендантский час is держит под контролем nightlife, and the county even restricts loud music на площадках so people don't have to shout, which is believed to spread the virus more easily.
"I think there's a lot of confusion because people thought that was it—everything is open," Gimenez told reporters. "We are still not вне опасности."
Omer Horev co-owns Pura Vida, a Miami chain of coffee shops with locations in iconic South Beach, the Design District near downtown and at the University of Miami. Horev said he isn't relaxing any rules at his businesses. Store managers told him some customers have been defying their mask rules after DeSantis' new order and he hasn't seen any local enforcement in the past week.
"We are in this gray area where you don't know what is enforced," he said. "I feel safe; I am OK with it, as long as restaurant operators such as us and others do the right thing in keeping the employees and guests safe."
In Tallahassee, Denise Barber, a 65-year-old retired state worker, used to dine out almost every day before the pandemic. She's now comfortable dining out again, but only at places being more cautious than required. She'll check a restaurant's Facebook page or call them to следить за выполнением their rules.
"I want to go out to eat more. I can still do it, but I'm going to have to do a lot of research to find a place," she said.

Urban чайки adapt поиск пропитания schedule to human activity patterns
If you've ever seen a seagull выхватывает a пирог or felt their beady eyes on your sandwich in the park, you'd be right to suspect they know exactly when to strike to increase their chances of getting a human snack.
A new study by the University of Bristol is the most in-depth look to date at the foraging behaviors of urban gulls and how they've adapted to patterns of human activity in a city.
In comparison to natural environments, urban environments are новые, неизведанные for animals on an evolutionary timescale and present a wide array of potential food sources.
In urban environments food availability often fluctuates according to patterns of human activity, which can follow a daily or weekly cycle. However, until now, little has been known about how urban animals adapt to these time differences in human food availability.

A team of scientists from Bristol's Faculties of Engineering and Life Sciences used different data to record the behavior of urban gulls at three different окружающей обстановке in the city: a public park, a school and a waste center. The study used data from mini GPS tracker backpacks fitted to 12 Lesser Black‐backed Gulls, as well as observations of gull numbers at the different sites.
The team found the birds' foraging patterns closely matched the timing of school breaks and the opening and closing times of the waste center, but that their activity in the park appeared to соответствовать the availability of natural food sources.
These findings suggest gulls may have the behavioral flexibility to adapt their foraging behavior to human time schedules when beneficial, and that this trait helps them to процветать in cities.
Dr. Anouk Spelt, lead author of the paper published in Ibis, the International Journal of Avian Science, said, "Our first day at the school, the students were excited to tell us about the gulls visiting their school at lunch time. Indeed, our data showed that gulls were not only present in high numbers during lunch time to feed on объедки, but also just before the start of the school and during the first break when students had their snack. Similarly, at the waste center the gulls were present in higher numbers on weekdays when the center was open and trucks were unloading food waste.
"Although everybody has experienced or seen gulls stealing food from people in parks, our gulls mainly went to park first thing in the morning and this may be because earthworms and insects are present in higher numbers during these early hours."
Dr. Shane Windsor, co-author, said, "With this study in Bristol we have shown that gulls in cities are able to adapt their foraging schedule to make best use of food resources depending on their availability. Some gulls even used all three feeding grounds in the same day, suggesting they might track the availability to optimize their energy потребление. These results highlight the behavioral flexibility of gulls and their ability to adapt to the artificial environments and time schedules of urban living."
