So you think spring breakers are going to spread this more than bars, theaters, restaurants, etc. would have if they stayed open?

Hizzoner is a complete idiot. Don't listen to anything he says.

No.
However, spring breakers certainly had/have a lot more chance to spread it around to many more isolated places than any of the others.

That tons of kids like this drove all the way from Iowa (getting gas in Lucedale, Miss, eating at Whataburger in Brewton AL, or flew through 2-3 airports to get there to party with kids coming from New Orleans, Atlanta etc and then go back to their parents small town in Iowa is the spring break concern.

I think that’s a BS statement. I was driving around Baton Rouge last night at 10:30 and you would have thought it was 3 Am, it looked like a ghost town. People are definitely taking the proper precautions.

That is selfish behavior, which I don’t agree with, BUT what percentage of the population is this? Hint: it’s low, very low.

Yeah it’s literally the only thing anyone has talked about for a week. I think people are taking it as seriously as anyone could have expected.

I'm certainly not trying to argue that it's a staggering number but it does seem significantly high on the list of "events" which caused/causes 1000s of people to move across multiple areas of the country.
Many of these areas are more isolated ones too since routes to beaches are often state highways through AL, MS, GA instead of interstates.
I don't even need to mention that 19yo going to party are probably not the ones taking the most common sense precautions.
So, in the sense of the cases over the entire USA it's probably not among the worst.
However, for people in a lot of more rural areas it likely ranks very high in potential new cases finding their small towns.

from the guy fear mongering about millions of people dying from this.
Nice job intentionally taking me out of context. I said “if we did nothing” millions would die. We’re doing way more than nothing.

And yet a crowd of ~50 catholics were loitering at the end of my street yesterday waiting for a priest to do a drive by communion.

Just had my test done in Mandeville.
Doctor told me to read “A Tale of Two Pandemics”. I haven’t even had time to look at it yet, but said you will live and that all the patients he has been treating with it basically present as a very bad case of bronchitis.
He said “wash your hands, don’t touch your face”. He also said if you get it you will be alright and that this was all waaaay blown out of proportion....idk
