Brady Sluder, the now infamous Florida spring breaker who basically said he doesn’t care if he contracts coronavirus and that “here’s just here to have a good time,” has since apologized.
Sluder, who is a Soundcloud rapper from Milford, Ohio, posted the apology to his Instagram account, saying, "I wasn't aware of the severity of my actions and comments.
"Like many others, I have elderly people who I adore more than anything in the world and other family members who are at risk, and I understand how concerning this disease is for us all.”

"Our generation may feel invincible, like I did when I commented," he added. "But we have a responsibility to listen and follow the recommendations in our communities."
He also urged people "listen to your communities and do as health officials say." "At the end of the day, I'm not going to let it stop me from partying," said Sluder in the now viral video. c Last week, a now viral segment from CBS News about spring breakers in Florida featured Sluder and others saying they didn’t care about getting coronavirus. "If I get corona, I get corona," said Sluder in the video. "At the end of the day, I'm not going to let it stop me from partying. We've been waiting for Miami spring break for a while. We're just out here having a good time. Whatever happens, happens."
Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been criticized for not closing the state’s public beaches during spring break, as well as refusing to issue a statewide stay-at-home order.
Last weekend, the University of Tampa issued a statement saying five of their students tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling together on spring break.
Why is it healthy to keep those open if they only bring certain death, like beaches apparently do?
They are risking their own health.
Let them.
Alcohol finally wore off huh? Grow up son.
Turns out FR has been a closeted refuge for authoritarian anti-freedom police state advocates.
So you don’t care if this asshole partied down in FL, caught the virus, came home and then went to the grocery store and infected the folks who are stocking the shelves so we have food to eat? Really, sometimes people on our side are just as stupid as the Dems.
I guess you should know since you sound like a Democrat.
He looks like a bright lad
No, I don’t. Anyone in public and not quarantined is taking that chance.
If you don’t want to take that chance, don’t go out.
I’d could forgive him if he was referring to Corona cerveza.
No you can’t...Because those people are being trained to keep their distance and cooperating.......those on the beaches and vacationing are not.
Facebook, twitter and google were instrumental in finding unacceptable background on every one of the resumes I tossed into the trashcan when I was screening job applicants.
People all around us have COVID. My wife and I think it went through the area a month or so ago, and that she may have had it. She took Tamiflu, but we had the Quadrivalent vaccine. She lost her sense of taste, had bad body aches, a dry cough, and I had a dry cough. Six days earlier, we shook the hand of someone who had left Hong Kong on the last flight out to the US, but because Tamiflu addressed her issues in two days, we figured it was the flu.
Italy had a top scientist estimating yesterday that the whole country actually has it and that the likely actual death rate is under 1% as a result.
Getting anal over someone having fun in a public place is, frankly, anal.
They are risking their own health.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
They are less likely to get seriously sick themselves, but they are increasing the odds of passing it on to their parents, grandparents, and everyone else encounter in the near future.
Then they need to remember that - not stop a vacation - and immunocompromised people need to be on top of who they allow around them.
What you and your wife think regarding travel and not cooperating in trying to fight this are exactly the type of people I'd never take seriously....therefore the conversation ends now.
Sounds like he’s on the way towards growing up...
Or has lawyered up.
