South Florida not opening anytime soon
Miami Dade mayor Carlos Gimenez announced yesterday that Miami bars and nightclubs won’t reopen until there’s a vaccine. The 10 PM curfew has been extended to 11 PM as long as the number of coronavirus cases continues to fall. The county has issued 612 citations and has closed 140 businesses for violating rules.
So until there’s a vaccine I’m not sure anyone’s going to risk losing their business license.
While the rest of the state has clubs opening back up with various new rules, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be the case in South Florida anytime soon.

But that having been said, it's difficult to think of a business that is more likely to facilitate the spead of COVID-19 than a strip club.
It takes a long time to change all those ballots.
But for now, no clubs open and no one (I’m aware of) is trying to test the rules.
After the announcement, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez made it clear that the county's bars would remain closed.
Officials in Palm Beach County announced their bars would also remain closed until an order is issued by the county.
In an earlier Zoom interview, Gimenez hinted that strip clubs may possibly reopen before bars, suggesting that strip clubs were less risky than bars and nightclubs in the spread of COVID-19.
“Nightclubs are something you do dancing and drinking and etc.,” Gimenez said. “I don’t believe that’s what happens at a strip club.”
At strip clubs, certain social distancing guidelines are in place, according to County Deputy Mayor Jennifer Moon. Customers are required to be seated at tables at a certain distance away from the entertainers.
For bar owners like Philippe Kalifa of El Patio in Wynwood, the idea that strip clubs are safer than bars is "very frustrating."
“What we don’t understand is why you can go in a restaurant, take off your mask and eat your food, but you can’t come in bar, take off your mask and have a drink?" Kalifa said.
On the other hand, one exotic dancer told NBC 6 that it shouldn’t matter when strip clubs reopen as long as they’re safe.
“As long as we wear our masks, I don’t think it’s a big deal,” Jeremiah said. “I don’t think it’s a big deal for us to get close to the girls and give a full dance.”
For now, there is no reopening date in South Florida for bars or strip clubs ..."
