    Hundreds arrested in Miami Beach as spring breakers ignore COVID-19 protocols, mayor says

    We saw some of this same behavior last Spring break. I know many younger people aren't very concerned about the virus but this is just uncalled for. I understand we value our freedom and individuality but we can't lose sight of being a community.

    What do you think?

    I agree 100%. You don't have to think too hard to realize everyone has a responsibility to be considerate of others. It's little more than common courtesy.

    My guess is that DeSantis is welcoming them with open arms. The more the merrier. That's what happens when dollar sings take precedence over lost lives.

    if it weren't for these drunk 20-somethings, you'd have no school where you are employed.

    At least they leave us in a week or 2, you get them the rest of the year.

    What we really need is for one of these spring breakers to get prosecuted and convicted for assault and battery after passing covid to another person.

    This is not over and covid still kills people.

    The drunk 20-something frat boys (the usual spring breaker crowd) usually do not show up in the classes that I teach, or in my lab. And I don't want them. I usually have the ones who want to better themselves to go to med school or grad school. It doesn't mean they don't party here or there, but for them work comes before play.

    In CA you can knowingly have sex with someone if you're infected with HIV and your partner doesn't know. So if you give that person the disease and there's nothing illegal about it.

    As for the spring breakers, their body, their choice.

    What about Newsom, Whitmer, Cuomo, Fienstien, and even Fauci himself who went out in public without a mask when they were supposed to be hunkered down?

    Anyone can knowingly have sex with another person if their infected with HIV and their partner doesn't know, regardless of what state they live in. It is, of course, illegal to do so, even in CA. Whoever told you "there's nothing illegal about it" was outright lying to you.

    As for the spring breakers, they are making decisions that affect the bodies of others.

    That is not assault and battery. Were they forced to get within 6 feet of others?

    MoRon DeathSantis is absolutely choosing dollars over lives and this betrayal will likely be the centerpiece of his 2022 opponents campaign. I really wish Florida was a state where we could recall a Governor because we have lost so many and its undeniable that our deaths would have been fewer if not for the incompetence of DeathSantis, his belligerent anti-making, his ignorant re-open crusading, his willful manipulation of COVID data, and his Godless approach of putting business over lives. Said it before, saying it again, voting him out will be an absolute pleasure.

    As for these Spring Break punks and their drunken rapy rampages, I hope they are charged with lengthy jail time, hefty fines, and hopefully those who are enrolled in college/university will be booted upon return.

    I'll remember you said this when you post negatively about Women's choices.

    Well, yes. The infected person approached the healthy person. Was the victim wearing a sign that said "It's ok to infect me" ?

    Yeah, in CA you can get a whole 6 months in jail for knowingly giving someone HIV. How many people do you think have been arrested and sent to jail? My guess is if this law was enforced in CA the LGB community would lose their collective minds.

    When did I ever want to restrict the choices of anyone? You're confusing me with liberals who want to restrict what I can eat, read, watch, own, sell, buy, etc. In fact, that's' exactly what the left's cancel culture is trying to achieve.

    Yep, contrary to your previous claim, which you are now shifting the goalposts on, it is illegal. Glad we cleared that up. Not sure why you felt the need to make that up in the first place.

    I think Joe Biden needs to ramp up vaccinations. I have been trying for months and its always booked and/or the sign in forms say 65 and older. I knew this pathetic excuse for a president wasn't going to actually accomplish anything. Thank goodness we at least even have a vaccine thanks to the amazing Donald J. Trump!

    I suppose you can believe that increasing our rate of incarceration is better for society. After all, inmates qualify for phase one vaccinations!

    Take some responsibility. If you fear the virus, don't flock to crowds. If you take a calculated risk, don't blame others for exposing yourself.

    These are the things that the Authoritarians don't what the public to know. Let's hope our "Free Press" does not just allow these significant findings to be swept under the rug by hacks like Dr. Fauci.

    Multiple studies that the infected have immunity for at least 7 months and likely much longer.

    The Vaccinated can party!

    Vaccine: Harsh side effects for 1/3 those that already had Covid-19


    https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/me...her-side-effects-from-the-vaccine/ar-BB1ehrCj

    In conclusion....

    CV-19 positive and those with the 2nd Vaccine (and 2 week waiting period) should get back to normal and should be under no mask restrictions.

    Kids should be back in school full blast.

    CV-19 positive should not be getting the vaccine for at least 8 months and likely well over a year.

    Actually, that is exactly what this is about. My personal responsibility is to tell everyone to stay the hell away from me. If you're sick and you pass it on to a another party, my chances of getting sick go up. If you are sick and transit an area where no one else has any choice but to use, wear a mask ! I'll do my part by wearing a mask as well.
