Florida is about to explode, starting now... 500+ cases so far today.

After all the spring break madnesss and the Governor’s stupidity in not taking it seriously, we’re going to see cases skyrocket like New York and FL is filled with old people. Not looking good. Spring breakers undoubtedly brought it home to neighboring states.

Earlier he said, there no solid evidence its especially contagious and it may not be contagious when people are asymptomatic. Thousands will die because of this POS.

all the social activities, club meetings, parties, shows, restaurants, shops and bars were going on as usual. 125,000 people, almost all of them over 50.

I'm thoroughly freaked out because my parents are there. I asked my dad yesterday if he was being careful and he said, "Yes, the only place I went today was the hardware store. Oh, and I got gas too. But that's all."

I knew some Dems that felt very unwelcome there and moved out quickly.
