So they went back to population centers for the most part. That isn't surprising. It's also a stretch to assume the majority of them had the virus.
I'm more scared of this data in the wrong hands.

I don't think they were saying all of those people have, and are spreading the virus. They were just providing a visualization of the potential. I'm all for presenting the data in whatever form is need so people understand the potential and why they should be taking it seriously.
500 new cases of CV19 in Florida in one day. Now over 3,700 cases in Florida - 5th most in US - with 54 confirmed deaths.
Guess spring break was worth it for DeSantis.

Florida has the third highest population in the US. Of course they're going to have more cases. Has nothing to do with "spring breakers."
It's not just size. South Korea is 8x the size of NJ and yet we now have more cases than they do.
Culturally, they took this much more seriously and shut it down. Our culture said things like "Never seen such hysteria" or "the nonsense in the media is doing nobody any good" or "My bet is this all blows over in 3-4 months like SARS and the swine flu."... and collectively we went to stores, went to bars/restaurants, spring break and just failed to take it seriously enough to contain it.
South Korean culture is very different than ours. Much more compliant. If our government put the restrictions in place that they did there would have been a revolt.
Yes culturally very different, not dependent on size. People who went on spring break thinking they were invincible/ didn’t care, are a part of the cultural problem here (among many others as well)
Yes, Just one example...if you ever got on a train in Tokyo or Seoul, you would know the difference. Remember Wuhan province had about 19 million and China put it in complete lockdown, with dire consequences for noncompliance, early on. If Trump or Governors of NY, NJ and NE states did that same thing at once early on, I shudder to think what would have happened.
Why it matters: Florida is the third biggest state in the U.S. and one of the highest-risk for coronavirus. Yet DeSantis' response has lagged well behind other populated states.
- He let state beaches stay open during spring break, publicly downplayed the risk, and resisted a statewide lockdown until yesterday — and those delays may have made things worse.
Sorry, the failure to act earlier there is going to cost lives. That is infuriating.
Yup. Should have closed the beaches put shelter-in-place and not allowed Spring Break.
Not just Florida Spring Breakers, YOLO.

DeSantis came out a few days ago and said that covid ramp up started super bowl week...so he is bizarre if he believes that
