California — Over the course of the last month, citizens of California have watched their beaches open and then close as Governor Gavin Newsom flexed his gubernatorial powers at the end of April. After 40,000 people visited Newport Beach and there were crowds at Huntington Beach on the last weekend in April, Newsom said, "We're going to do a hard close" of the California beaches.

Naturally, people became upset about not being able to go outside to the beach — especially after several studies have found that COVID-19 is obliterated by the sun's UV rays. Nevertheless, the threat of arrest for walking out into the sand was enough to deter people — for a little while.

A likely tipping point for the citizens wanting to get back out on the beach was the fact that Democratic Congressman Harley Rouda claimed that opening beaches was "reckless" only to be photographed hanging out on the beach last weekend. But it is okay, since he is a Congressman, right?

Rouda's campaign manager said in a statement that Rouda and his family "were actively moving and adequately socially distancing on a residential beach, which has explicitly outlined beach access requirements in accordance with Governor Newsom's beach order."
