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.

If they infect any geezers, yes...but the geezers should all be isolating, right. It could be interesting to see what happens there...hoping for the best

(I’ve seen) the lights go out on Broadway.
I saw the Empire State laid low...


And life went on beyond the Pallisades

...............
The flames were everywhere
But no one really cared
It always burned up there before.

(Ok I looked up the lyrics—recalling accurately at 25+ years doesn’t alway happen—thanks)

It’s getting harder and harder to find a crowded theatre nowadays.

Maybe someone should put together a virtual Spring Break app.

And Florida should demand no gathering if more than 12 people and shut down bars and dining.

He didn’t even know he had it. Does not mean it was a factor, but don’t write him off so easily, either. I’d have to know how far along he was and more, else it’s a push.

teenage passion for life vs adult hysteria mixed together maybe we'll come out with a balance....

I can’t believe this is FR when I read messages like this. Unfortunately, I am getting used to it and will be leaving soon. Cowardly sheep. Where are the men? Where is the spirit of give me liberty or give me death?

This nation is so lost. Freedom of assembly? Trash it. Property rights? Screw em! Gun confiscation is almost upon us and you will cheer it on too. Your user name’s quite ironic to me.
