Yeah, the real issue is lack of consistency across the board-- from the country to the state to the federal level.

Is this the second wave of COVID-19 in the U.S.? Or are we still in the first?

I can't find anywhere on the Florida site that states this. Where are you seeing this?

It was in the story I was replying to.
So the news media, and not the state. I would take anything the news media says nowadays with a grain of salt. I just don't believe them to be truthful anymore. Anything to get the clicks and reads, nothing more, it seems.

When he says “certain types of businesses“ might need to have face masks I wonder if that refers to the water parks and smaller amusement attractions that opened without masks. It will be interesting to see what the reaction is if that happens.

Whatever floats your boat. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want. It’s the “fake news” era

“I think we were careless and we went out into a public place when we should not have. And we were not wearing masks. I think we had a whole 'Out of sight, out of mind' mentality. The state opens back up and said everybody was fine, so we took advantage of that,” Crisp said.
She said it's a lesson for everyone.
“We should be wearing masks. We should be social distancing,” Crisp said. “It was too soon to open everything back up.”

I used to live in Jax and I know that bar. It's a typical "beach bar" that is kinda gross feeling just being inside. I think I only went in once. Not even surprised a little, I don't understand how bars like this even opened in the first place.From Jacksonville -

Oh, right. We were onto the next arbitrary "phase."
It isn't too soon to open everything back up, but it's too soon to not wear masks and take precautions!From Jacksonville Beach -

I agree in opening things back up. Going from opening retail, patios and some outdoor activities where social distancing works to Disney is too quick. IMO theme parks, concerts and festivals shouldn't be opening for awhile.
They are 8 & 6, and I didn't know we lived so close to one another!

This was reported last night. People are saying Hagrids has all the social distancing markers removed. I’m guessing they could wear off? Also a employee telling people over loud speaker to fill in all empty spaces. If true, I’m saying if, sounds like Shanghai where they threw in the towel after a few weeks. I’m with you, could be a little early for amusement parks and other big gathering places

This was reported on Saturday, and it seemed like they had corrected shortly after. That article was just late to cover it.
I didn't go to Hagrids on Sunday but everything else was status quo in US that I saw.

Based on Universal's response, it sounds like it may have been a case of an employee using old verbal instructions out of habit if the markers were gone simply because they fine-tuned the loading of the ride to keep people moving constantly at that point in the queue. It looks like everyone in the line is moving so it's not like they were having people stand around in close proximity to one another.
However, they should still have the markers down because no ride ever runs 100% of the time without any delays or malfunctions - and didn't this ride have such a spotty operational record when it opened that they had it shut down for hours each day? Of all the times to assume, "We've got this. No need for those pesky social distancing markers on the ground," this ride isn't it.
