The Tampa Bay Times reports DeSantis said Monday that New Yorkers are fleeing the state and flocking to Florida to avoid NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s stay-at-home order, a near lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“If you look at what happened in New York, when they did the stay at home order, what did people do?” DeSantis said. “Well, a lot of people fled the city. ... We’re getting huge amounts of people flying in.”
On Monday, there were 190 direct flights to Florida from the New York and New Jersey area, he said.

They used to head back at this time. I know lots of people looking for refuge right now. When people get locked down they run to areas that arent locked down. Classic.

That’s right, Ron.
If you’re trying to escape a harsh quarantine where better to go than Spring Bring USA. Escape the cold, the virus and social distancing!
Party on, Ron!

At least the Spring Breakers can (theoretically) sober up.

Well, i just got some good news in this regard: a certain UC Berserkley grad who is now a PhD candidate at Princeton came to Florida with his wife about 12 days ago.
The good news is they are going back to Californicate tomorrow.

This is like the Chinese trying to escape China early on.
Strange how the survival instinct doesn’t care about race or nationality.

Florida just became a blue state.

Oh, that’ll take care of any China Flu or liberal problems.

Like those last trains out of Wuhan. Remember seeing those? Really creepy.
Only, NY isn’t shut down and FL is wide open.

They may well have been on a 1 week Spring Break - and that may mean they left Tampa University with the virus.

The little airport at Laconia NH (near Lake Winnipesaukee) has lots of private jets on the ramp.
