Georgia senator who contracted coronavirus leaves Florida beach house after local outcry
...Local residents, who are on orders to stay at home to help slow the viruss spread, raised the alarm with the authorities when they saw out-of-town visitors arriving in a convoy of three cars.
...In an exchange with the Tallahassee Democrat, Mr Smith put it more sharply: His drivers licence is in Georgia. His voters registration is in Georgia, so just practice what you preach and dont come here. Its ridiculous. Its so selfish of this person to do this.
Shortly after Mr Smith assigned the police watch on the gated residence, Mr Thompson departed. As the Franklin County Sheriffs Office told the paper: As a result of surveillance on Senator Bruce Thompsons residence on St. George Island, Senator Thompson called Sheriff A.J. Smith to advise he would return to Georgia.
After ignoring warnings, Israeli ultra-Orthodox hit by virus
BNEI BRAK, Israel (AP) Early this week, the streets of the central Israeli city of Bnei Brak were bustling with shoppers as ultra-Orthodox residents, obeying their religious leaders, ignored pleas to stay home in the face of the coronavirus threat.
By Friday, Bnei Brak had become the country’ worst hot spot and now resembles a ghost town. One expert estimated that nearly 40% of the city’s population might already have been infected.
