    Why are these people out? Why are they not locked down? Everything somebody leaves their house, no scratch that, everything somebody gets pit of bed in the morning, they assume a certain level of risk.

    I dont ask anybody to do anything outside the confines of the law to mitigate my risk. Why should we all do something to mitigate theirs? They have a decision to mitigate it by not leaving their home.

    That's on them.

    By keeping the virus alive and circulating you are sentencing the elderly and others with conditions which make them vulnerable to self confinement, not only is that selfish but also irresponsible.
    As a side bonus you are increasing the possibility of more dangerous variants of the virus developing which can endanger a wider range of the population.

    Scientists say that this virus won't be eradicated and will be just like the flu we deal with every year. No amount of mask wearing or shut down will change that

    What's going to happen if the worst case scenario evolves? Worst case being that all those, some of those, who have taken the shot become carriers of the virus? Some evidence is accruing in Israel and here that such might be happening.

    Juxtapose that with a mob(s) of stoned out BLM and antifa druggies looting and burning down cities and towns all over this country. That's of no consequence to schools as their drop-out rate is staggering. Burning down businesses kind of hurts the people that work there.
    I do see some damage to cars and buildings this Spring Break is bringing. I also see the demographics of the crowd surrounding the "damage-doers" as well.
    The unAmerican BLM/antifa/communist/(et.al.) filth that plague this once great country like the plague that they truly are stay for more than a week or two.

    Does this mean that flags will be put to half staff whenever an unhappy john kills a prostitute?

    Not seeing many college students breaking into violence in the videos. Seeing a lot of thugs. Might be doing some online courses:)

    Do you have more information on this happening in Israel? The last I heard was about Norway.

    I posted a thread with the link a few days ago. "Satan's Poker" was in the title.

    It is only speculation based upon slowly accumulating data. It's still too early to tell, but similar data is accumulating here in the US, including Hawaii.

    Some of those injected end up testing positive in significant numbers.

    I think Florida said, " we don't give a damn about spreading Covid, just bring us your money.....then we'll pretend we tried to "be safe"..."""

    It is my experience that people rarely bring common sense with them on vacation - particularly younger people. And many were happy to travel to Florida because of the relaxed restrictions - they were itching to get out and mingle.

    And what of the folks who are at risk who live in the area? It's something they face every year - the onslaught of spring breaking partiers. But this year, there is the added concern of covid carriers. While DeSantis may have been thinking of the economy of the situation, he wasn't showing much concern for the citizens who put him in power.

    I think you are on the wrong train here. Your side is arguing that it is racist that the locals are trying to shut it down, not that it is a Covid threat to leave it open. I have seen the videos and it is unbelievably violent (but very diverse). It looks more like a BLM peaceful protest than a spring break party. Already have had a girl raped and murdered.

    You are welcome to focus on the cries of racism against the police in this situation, but I will focus on the subject matter of the OP which is covidiot spring breakers.

    I have been through many Spring Breaks in Miami ... this one is not typical at all ... many of the people there are not college students ...

    Fake News. Once the data is in, Freedom and Liberty DeSantis is once again right, and you are wrong. FL continues to do great while the Blue Lockdown states surge and show us what hypocrites the authoritarians are.

    Gretchen "Half" Whitmer's Top Aide Gets Caught Red-Handed in Florida

    Rules for the "little people" but not for the authoritarian rulers.

    Who can forget how Lockdown Gov. Gretchen "Half" Whitmer’s family broke her own COVID regulations by traveling to their lake house and attempting to use their boat. Now, "Half" Whitmer’s top aide has been caught red-handed partying in Florida for spring break while Michigan still has travel restrictions in place. Watch the self-righteous virtue signalling Karens who have been hectoring Freedom and Liberty DeSantis for being open go immediately silent over the Lockdown "Half" Whitmer's Spring Breaking aide.

    [​IMG]

    Gov. "Half" "Whitmer's top aide Tricia Foster defies governor's travel warnings, travels to Florida for spring break vacation."

    [​IMG]
    Not seeing any masking or social distancing.
    [​IMG]

    "Half" "Whitmer has been so adamant about her state’s residents staying home and not enjoying themselves."
    "Half" Whitmer is try to blame Florida for her complete failure as her state is in the midst of a COVID surge, 1,500 miles away.
    "Half" Whitmer’s lockdowns have left Michigan behind the Freedom and Liberty States that urged people to get out into the sunshine, load up on Vit. D, stay healthy and in shape, and use their freedom to wear masks and distance when necessary, which is much more important indoors than outdoor. "There was a right way to handle the pandemic. Florida did it correctly, and" "Half" Whitmer didn’t.
    Few things uglier than hypocrisy!

    Yet DeSantis has more seniors vaccinated than any other state and his Covid fatality rate per million population rank Florida 39th. Given the fact he has the 3rd largest population and one of the highest populations of retired seniors, you will be hard pressed to find better statistics than that.

    LORDING IT OVER THE REST OF US IS THE ENTIRE POINT: Top Gretchen Whitmer Aide Takes Spring Break Trip to Florida, Ignoring MI Gov’s Warning.

    Let’s Start Jailing Lawmakers Who Violate Their Own COVID Restrictions. “Imagine the pure, poetic justice of seeing Newsom, Cuomo, and some of the other Hitler youth (stole that from Animal House) cooling their heels in a holding cell after being caught with their masks off and their pants down.”

    [​IMG]

    Pat Moynihan: “Hannah Arendt had it right. She said one of the great advantages of the totalitarian elites of the twenties and thirties was to turn any statement of fact into a question of motive.”

    Whitmer administration giving a bipartisan thumbs up to Ron DeSantis!

    Whitmer should fire her.

    His approach with giving seniors priority access to the vaccine has quite literally been the only COVID related policy of his I can support.
