TAMPA (WFLA) — Six University of Tampa students are recovering after testing positive for COVID-19 after spring break, the school said.

The university said one of the six students was tested at school after coming back from an international trip. The student is reportedly self-isolating off campus and has not been hospitalized.

The other five students were traveling with other UT students during spring break before testing positive. Four of the five students returned to the campus after the break where they are self-isolating. None of the students have been hospitalized.

“Recovering” from what? Remember how invincible they are. Maybe they’ll rebel some more and unite with their other flubros.

I’m with the FluBros - MORE POWER TO THEM!!!! No one is going to hold them down!!!

...that is, as long as they don’t also demand medical treatment for their idiocy, since responsible people should first have access to medical care.

My daughter,45, lives in Tampa and thinks she may have had it before it was identified. She goes to some sort of international shopping area near Tampa International that buses over people from the airport waiting connections.

She had the flu for 2 1/2 weeks with difficulty breathing. Her husband also got it of course.

So they can go do what they want with no repurcussions, while the rest of us are told to and expected to stay in place.

And in some states, people are actually being threatened with legal consequences.

Where are they for the spring breakers?

The law breakers flaunt it and nobody does anything.

The rest of us are under the gun.

I'm in Tampa as well and developed something similar in mid-Jan. My neighbor caught it as well. I risked my job by backing out on a big business trip at the last minute rather than expose airline passengers to it.

Doing much better now, although the cough is still a bit nagging.

those vulnerable who are in the minority should be the ones staying home and staying afraid.....stop making the vast majority bend to your fears....

I say that as a 66 yro diabetic with Htn....

just stop being so damn selfish that everything is about you, you, you...

How is it that our college students are so stupid?

They don’t appear to have learned anything.

Have you ever heard of the phenomonom called mutation?
The less people who get this crap in a short amount of time, (Asymptomatic or not) the greater the chance to curtail mutations.
The chance of mutations is why the powers that be are acting this way, not the curtent virus itself.
We don’t even know what this Covid-19 is all about.

Excellent post.

Let the frail, hypochondriac China Dolls stay home and let the young, normal people live their lives.
