TAMPA, Fl. (WFLA) —Five University of Tampa students are recovering after testing positive for COVID-19 during spring break, the school said.

The university said the students were traveling together and with other UT students during spring break before testing positive. The school didn’t say where they went during their break or if they lived on or off campus.

The school did send its well wishes.

“We sincerely wish our students, and any others who may be affected, a full and rapid recovery,” UT posted on Twitter Saturday night.

The university switched to online classes only on March 17.

I probably know what you're thinking about this story.

1. I remember some Florida spring breakers laughing and calling the virus the "boomer remover". n/t

2. Can the covid-19 spread through sex?

If it does is it also a STD?

[cwydro]

7. No.

It’s an airborne virus.

9. Only if the participants breathe during sex.

N/T

3. It would be interesting to know not just how many spring breakers

come down with the virus, but also how many other people they infect. That study will probably have to wait for a while.

4. Yeah

Wait until they all go home and infect a whole community!!

5. I spoke to my daughter in Boulder Colorado yesterday

And she told me that the University was shut down and parties were prohibited.

So some students took their party to a private home. And now a bunch of them are sick.

Who'da thought?

BTW: my daughter is not a student there. She's working on a post doc position in a lab. Her workplace has been closed in addition to the rest of the school.

There has also been a terrible outbreak in the ski area part of the state.
