SALTY ALERT: BE CAREFUL
Stay away from South Carolina

PAWLEY’S ISLAND, S.C. — At times like this, I’m tempted to dig out my father’s doormat, which bore the words: “Go away.” A dedicated misanthrope, he at least maintained a sense of humor.
Today, as South Carolina’s covid-19 infection rate skyrockets, there’s not much to chuckle about. As of Friday, more than 75 percent of hospital beds were filled and one coastal hospital was considering seeking staffing help from the National Guard.
How did we get so sick so fast? In a word, tourism, especially in Charleston, erstwhile “Best City” in America, and north along the coast to Myrtle Beach — now among the unsafest places in the United States and, therefore, the world.
There, you’ll see very few people wearing masks, and social distancing is a joke.
