That beach looks pretty empty to be enforcing social distancing.

Helicopter perhaps ordered in by someone who doesn’t want anyone on “his” beach?

Seems a bit cavalier. Most helicopter turbines don’t like sand very much.

Yeah the folks there seem to be doing a fine job of avoiding close contact with people from outside their household already.

Bolsonaro probably doesn’t want the beaches to be cleared. He’s going for Trumpist denial and Putinist alpha male posturing.

As an added bonus, the sand is restoring the dunes.
Wait, so now crowds of 2 or less people are prohibited?

This. When I saw the headline I thought it was an awesome idea but having watched the video, WTF?
I’m actually wondering whether this was just something that happened years ago for a prank but now it’s being claimed as a reaction to Coronavirus. I mean, the video is from Mail Online. It’s not like they would ever publish something that was complete bullshit.
