App tracks "influenza-like" symptoms: shows FL is a hotspot of activity compared to rest of U.S.

And now we're sending back all the spring breakers. Time for another round of infections in your neighborhood.

Best response to this on Reddit that I saw was "Dear Florida: Can you not be you, just this once?"

I realize these are all legally adults but I don’t believe all these kids are paying their own way.

Also a shock to me that we already have a hot area down through central Kentucky.

This is one time Wildcat fans don't want to be ahead of the game.......

I fear Florida is going to be really bad in the retirement communities......

Not all of them are dingbats, I know. But most of them were, and they go down there specifically to mingle in close quarters with as many people as possible.

And now they will be bringing their infection back to the rest of us, fanning back out across the country.

I don’t blame them—kids just want to have fun—I blame the governor for not shutting the beaches down. He will have thousands of deaths on his conscience, if he has one.
