MEXICO CITY - Twenty-eight U.S. spring break tourists who returned to Texas after vacationing with a large group in the Mexican beach resort of Cabo San Lucas have tested positive for coronavirus, drawing attention to possibly low detection of cases in Mexico.
The 28 confirmed cases are self-isolating and dozens more are under quarantine while being monitored and tested, the city of Austin said in a statement on Tuesday.
“About a week and a half ago, approximately 70 people in their 20s departed in a chartered plane for a spring break trip,” the city said, adding that some of the group returned on separate commercial flights.
“Currently, 28 young adults on this trip have tested positive for COVID-19 and dozens more are under public health investigation,” the statement said.
Austin public health authorities and the University of Texas at Austin have contacted every “spring breaker onboard the plane using flight manifests from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention,” the city’s statement said.
Mexico’s usually packed beaches, bars and clubs have largely emptied after U.S. authorities issued a ban on non-essential travel to Mexico, including for tourist trips across the U.S.-Mexico land border.
Mexico declared a health emergency on Monday and issued stricter rules aimed at containing the fast-spreading coronavirus.

Idiots!
Should never had let them back into the country.
And here’s the f**king mexicans being so smug and arrogant(as always) saying they can’t get Covid-19 in their country. Karma cabrones!!
And not one will die from it. They have a cold that gives them permission to watch television.
College is cancelled everywhere, anyway, so who cares?
Oh how fine it is to dance and sing
while the bells of death do ring...
A little saying from the Plague years.
Then they passed it on ×100
Send them back.
And Build That Damn Wall!
Spoiled brats think they are too smart to listen to warnings. Interesting that Mexico has been reporting really low numbers of infections though.
Send their parents the bill for this bad act.

Most likely carried it into Mexico.
The parents should ADJUST their wills or living trusts.
Every country on Earth is going to get hit by it. Mexico is a cesspool.
Stupid kids.
The Mexicans are already tunneling under it.

How many from your state?
It wasn’t a great idea to go but they are young and impulsive.Trump should issue a safe home order so students can drive home from colleges across the country .Once this demographic is contained at home things will die down hopefully. but all these closed states make it hard for students to return to their home states.Bored college students are going to gather and party until you send them home.
No doubt mostly Bernie Bros.
Pocket full of posies.
Ashes,Ashes.
We all fall down.
Red blushie marks on body. Smell of flowers kept plague from attacking, so put them in pockets. Symptom s included sneezing. Then you fell down and died.
