Just In: Miami Beach has declared a State of Emergency. The mayor says Spring Break is out of control. The City is closing the entire entertainment district at 8PM. They've blocked bridges into Miami Beach after 9PM. Only locals and hotel guests allowed in.

F*ck you, DeSantis.

Duty To Warn 🔉
@duty2warn
It's not the # of people, it's their ignoring of safety guidelines. Most know Florida doesn't enforce. They are young. But visitors go back home after the break. Not sure what the emergency declaration will do, other than spread out Spring Breakers to neighboring communities.

4. Maybe this is a forerunner of things to come as the we return to normal.

Pent up wildness will spill forth.

[uponit7771]

22. Talk to a cop he says this is exactly what is coming, The roaring twenties only had 100 million ...

.... Americans we have three times as much now

There will be another shutdown but people will be drunk and happy this time

[Irish_Dem]

29. Yes there is going to be pent up demand for everything.

And I mean everything.

[2naSalit]

3. This is why we can't have nice things.

This will probably continue, and the virus continue on, until they all die off I guess.

[EX500rider]

23. "until they all die off I guess."

Unlikely to kill off spring break age people:

8. "visitors go back home after the break"

When they come down with Covid symptoms a week or two later, it counts for their home state infection rate.

When they asymptomatically spread Covid to their family and peers, it also counts in their home state rate.

Florida is exporting their Covid cases. Florida's Covid rate does not full reflect the actual spread of disease within Floria.

Thus DeSantis can brag about how much lower Florida's infection rate is compared to California and become a hero to the right wing.

[Sunsky]

17. This

100% correct. We have indeed become a chief exporter of COVID. I wish we can get of DeSantis next year. He has been an utter failure.

9. From the Miami Herald

Party’s over: Miami Beach closing causeways, imposing spring break South Beach curfew

Due to overwhelming spring break crowds, the city of Miami Beach will impose an 8 p.m. curfew in the South Beach entertainment district and block most eastbound traffic entering the city after 9 p.m., beginning Saturday.

Interim City Manager Raul Aguila, who will authorize the emergency measures, told the Miami Herald that he recommends keeping them in place through April 12, or the end of spring break. A countywide midnight curfew is already in place due to COVID-19.

“These crowds are in the thousands,” Aguila said. “We’re at capacity.”

Spring Broken

10. Close the place off nobody in or out for at least 14 days

Quarantine them all...

[Midnight Writer]

11. The first Covid cases in my county were from two Spring breakers bringing it home.

The virus has no wings and no legs. It cannot travel on its own. The only way it can get someplace is if we take it there.

[SheilaAnn]

12. We have raised spoiled rotten children I'm sad to say. Their wants and needs come first. Sad. n/t

[llmart]

20. +1000

I've often wondered who is footing the bill for these younger people/college kids travelling to spring break vacation spots? I can only imagine what my parents would have said to me if I said, "I'm going to Florida on spring break. How much money will you give me?" Same holds true or my two grown kids. They wouldn't have even bothered to ask me. They already knew the answer. My kids worked over their spring breaks.

[SheilaAnn]

24. Absolutely. Both my parents were "Depression" kids, they would have looked at each other and

burst out laughing. My own two, much like yours, didn't bother to ask. they knew better..LOL.

[Under The Radar]

13. I love it when Fauci is proven correct over and over again

The political motive of ignoring the covid safety protocols and trying to discredit the vaccine is utterly insane.
I bet none of these spring breakers protested once at the airport when they had to take off their shoes at the TSA checkpoint.
Death from shoes on airplanes - 0
Death from Covid in the USA- 550,000

[gratuitous]

14. No worries; Gov. DeSantis has got this

He'll overrule the mayor and tell everyone to go back to having a good time. Whitewash the numbers, and hey presto! Florida is leading the nation in stopping the spread. Nobody in Florida is going to call him out. The media won't do it, either; they're too focused on Cuomo in New York.

In a couple of years, once he's safely ensconced in the Senate, some of this horror will come out, but by then it'll be too late, and we'll be consumed with the inexplicable way the ocean keeps submerging half the state every 12 hours or so.

15. I hope Fort Lauderdale is taking notice and getting ready.

Do nothing and there is blood on your hands.

18. It's Fine Because They're Not Really Reporting Accurate Figures Anyways

They'll figure out a way to hide the facts.

[tinrobot]

19. Looks like wave #4 will happen in a few weeks.

And I thought we were almost through this.

[llmart]

21. I said that four weeks ago.

I believe I read somewhere that during the last surge it was mostly caused by the 20-40 age group (those numbers are probably a bit off, but fairly close to what I heard).

So glad I'm vaccinated.

[Efilroft Sul]

28. Plus, Easter's around the bend, and so are the anti-vax covidiots who'll gather in large numbers.

Mid-April to early May will be a merry little dance of death thanks to these fools.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. Happening while so many elderly in South Florida...

... are still struggling to get vaccinated too!

[choie]

26. Thank van thank their fucking gov.

The one who thinks he’s done a fantastic job during the pandemic.

[Rustyeye77]

27. Face it...when your that age you're indestructible .

Add that to hormones and alcohol ... and cannabis ,etc

What could possibly go wrong?

I was there for spring break 10 years ago,... Damn, that was fun then.
