I can't believe the callous, cavalier ignorance of young people. They ARE being affected and in larger numbers than they realize. I cn't believe Clearwater didn't close the beaches or have police disperse the crowds. On the news last night they did say that Clearwater was going to close the beaches, but not until Monday. That decision is purely about money, not the safety of the residents and tourists. They gotta get as much money outa spring break rabble rousers first. (eyeroll)
This morning I saw an American woman living in Italy speaking about what life is like there. She got choked up as she described the piles of coffins there and the fact that people are dying alone because their families can't travel to be with them. She said that medical staff were using their personal cellphones to allow the victims to face-time with their families to say goodbye. Mortuaries are running out of space and the military has been called in to remove bodies. THIS is what we don't want to happen here and if people don't take this thing seriously and adhere to the guidelines which have been presented loudly, clearly, and consistently by the medical experts THROUGH the media, it most certainly will.
