The thing is, those States, counties and cities do NOT want to patrol parks and beaches.
Around here, where small lake-front walkways have park facilities, we have locked/closed restrooms and they have even pulled garbage bins.
The "public servants" are getting paid to stay home. Meanwhile, private garbage collectors keep on doing their jobs, thankfully.
Lots of the "public servants" are loving this situation. Getting paid for nothing, with pension and vacation accruing... minimal risk of losing their jobs. Well, unless the pitch-forks come out. Which is why they are staying pretty quiet about it all, but otherwise won't mind a bit if this continues.

I will agree with this statement, however, here in NYC this is not the case. All our city workers are still collecting trash, operating trains and buses although I find this a problem. There have been many city workers who have fallen ill and died. All my life I saw the NYC employee to be very happy to work as little as possible. But, I am surprised to see how well they have been doing in this crisis.
BTW, I prefer bleach over Lysol whenever I ingest a disinfectant.
