Coronavirus Insanity: Beach Chairs Are the New “Sold Out” Product, Disney World Is Still Re-Opening, and More
Here’s a fresh round-up of coronavirus insanity . . .

2. Disney World in Orlando is still planning to re-open on Saturday, even as coronavirus cases skyrocket in Florida.
3. This is definitely one way for tourist destinations to get people to come back. A campsite in Tarragona, Spain is offering coronavirus tests on-site to all guests, so they can make sure everyone inside is healthy and no one will need masks or distancing.

5. A guy in Florida had a freak out when people at Costco asked him to put on a mask. A video of him went viral, and he’s been fired from his job at an insurance agency. And a woman in Illinois was charged with battery over a mask fight at Home Depot.
6. The EPA has approved two Lysol products as ways to disinfect surfaces to protect against coronavirus.
