Spring Breakers Pack Florida Beach Despite Coronavirus Pandemic
New York Post ^ | March 16, 2020 | Kenneth Garger

Some spring breakers in Florida didn’t get the social distancing memo. Hundreds of people packed Clearwater Beach Thursday as President Trump urged Americans to avoid gatherings of 10 people during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Local reporter Sarah Hollenbeck, of WFTS-TV, captured the sunny scene with tight clusters of college-aged beach-goers scattered across the sand.

“BUSY BEACH! This is what @MyClearwater Beach looks like right now as spring break crowds flock to the sand,” Hollenbeck tweeted.

My 17 year old son who had Flu B in January is at Seaside with two families and six girls and six guys..in a big house near the green.

He’s having major fun

Why that pisses off freepers is beyond me....have they not hoarded enough toilet paper to be happy yet

Young and foolish, believing they ARE healthy and invincible.

Esp. being told repeatedly that Covid-19 affect the old and high-risk (healthy compromised) groups.

My daughter and about 8 girls and one mom had a big house at Seaside for spring break one year. And she and I have gone to Gulf Shores, Captiva and Boca Grand multiple times. It is major fun. I wish I was there. And the Freepers who are livid about kids having fun? They are addicted to drama. A big problem in our society.

About the only advantage for us is that Biloxi and area decided to not host Black Spring Break this year...things gonna be a bit more peaceful for us the coming week.

You’re so right.

And the biggest a-holes of all are those cowardly little p*ssy quislings actively trying to help totalitarian wannabes take other peoples rights away because they are scared.

You said, “There are active cases in all those places...”
—————————-
Thanks for your work on this null!

The warm weather does not prevent active cases because the virus lives in a host and it can still spread from direct contact with travelers.

However you will not see fomite and casual contact spread therefore infection rates fall. Have you heard of definite “community spread” in Australia?

Thanks again, you are really helping me with this and I am depending on you.

Nope, haven't heard.

Been too busy to dig for it either.

There is nothing virtuous about being willfully ignorant.
