Morons traveling to Florida from all over the U.S. to celebrate New Year's
- Thread starter RBH
- Start date
The death toll is getting close to 4,000 per day and these fools are like "YOLO".
Not only to Florida, Mexico is full of tourists from the US, Canada, and Europe. And yes, the fact we haven't closed our border (tourism was considered an essential industry here) is to blame, but how privileged do you have to be to believe you can take the luxury of vacationing anywhere let alone in a foreign country during a fucking pandemic?
Yeah, I noticed a few months ago that all of the Instagram/Twitter influencers are either in Mexico or Brazil. I was wondering how they can afford to be there months on end but it must be super cheap with the pandemic affecting prices.
in a perfect world Desantis would be thrown in jail for murder.
Good to know it's my fault.
Me and the millions of others that live here and vote Dem absolutely deserve this.
I live in South Dakota and two of my dipshit co-workers are going to Denver tonight to celebrate New Year's.
They're a bunch of fucking idiots, but this one takes the cake.
I'd quit, but I'm financially fucked if I do, and will lose my car and our apartment.
I'm going to lose my shit if those fuck nuggets get it and spread it through work.

People just look at colors in a map and make their stupid assumptions. Don't worry we'll turn Florida blue in 2022.
Please.
Been doing my part for almost a decade
It'll happen one day
What gets me is that they're showing up and expecting to get a vaccine as well, because fuck the people that actually live here.
Like, fuck dude, stay in your own God damn state if you're worried about not being able to get one at your seasonal residence that you totally don't have to go to.
It seems some counties are limiting it to only those that can prove local residency, at least.
Some friends of mine traveled to Hawaii lol. Lots of people traveling. And guess what? All Dem voters, educated, etc. This was never a partisan issue.
I really don't understand these kind of people, especially since basically everything in Denver is closed.
Pretty much. Why can't people stay home and be normal instead of being selfish pricks?
I'm pissed off having to go back to work
With limited team members, wages cut and getting no help withbhow busy we are in Universal Studios. I shaked my head when I saw a huge line if cars at the parking garage.
What's wrong with these people?

Lol that's because we don't have any fucking mandates or restrictions here either
At the airport where i work flights to florida is what kept the paychecks coming all year.
This level of flippant disregard for the wellbeing of oneself or others isn't exclusive to Florida. My little brother is going to drive down to South Carolina with his girlfriend for the new semester...and then take a flight back home. He could have just stayed here and let his gf drive by herself, but no, he had to be a selfish bitch.
edit - also my other brother has been desperately trying to get me to visit him and his girlfriend in California lately, even offering to pay for my plane tickets. It's absolutely insane.

We have a ton? Not even outdoor dining is allowed in LA right now.
That said, people are still idiots and ignore it. Highly dense urban areas just get hit hard, unless there's a shared culture of communal responsibility.
Which there is not.
But he doesn't actually think it's fake, he's just acting that way which makes it even worse.
We have suggestions, the meekest of suggestions, that are neither followed or enforced. "We're putting out stay at home orders, which are 100% reactive instead of preventative so they'll only go into effect once shit is irreversibly bad, they are as follows: nothing is closed, nothing is reduced capacity (we say it is but nobody's following it lololol) please stay home? Please? Nothing bad will happen to you if you don't and everything is open--And wear a mask? Ok? Thanks for listening-- oh, oh you're all leaving at the same time in a big group with no masks on to go congregate in large numbers ok, um, well, just remember that we asked you nicely not to do that, nobody's going to stop you but, thanks for caring."
California is the worst Covid zone in the country because we're doing as close to the bare fucking minimum as humanly possible. The only way we're "better" than Florida is they don't even pretend to have the bullshit guidelines we do.
You're lowballing that number. Even if EVERYONE was diagnosed and nobody new was infected after yesterday, you'd still be looking at 580K deaths given the current fatality rate.
COVID-19 is going to easily sail past both the American Civil War and the Spanish flu as the greatest American killer of all-time.
If anything was made obvious this year it is the fact that too many people are overly selfish and arrogant assholes.
Yikes. Bad Math on my part, and yet our government doesn't think we are worth more than 600 bucks each.
My family are all down there for vacation as we speak. I worry about my parents who are in their 80's now.
Told them I won't be seeing anyone until I'm vaccinated, which for all I know won't be until this time next year at the earliest. I'm struggling so hard to not see other people though, so I don't know how long I can last. :(
I hate all of this so much right now.

- They're fucking idiots. I honestly don't know how they still have their jobs. They barely do anything, which just makes more work for me and the other people who work here..
- They're basically going down there to smoke pot and get laid. How do I know this, because they wouldn't shut up about it.
I work at a T-Mobile store and I'm not an assistant manager, but it feels like I'm doing assistant manager work because I actually put the time and effort into learning my job.
They both just left and the store is quite, it's actually kinda nice.
I'm going to be super pissed if any of those idiots pick up Covid and bring it back to work.
I agree the restrictions aren't enough, but there's a reason that girl in the video traveled from CA to FL. You can't eat out, go to bars, or go to clubs here. A bunch of other shit is very stupidly open, but those are still massive congregation points that genuinely aren't open here.
Of course. But young people still can get complications, at a lower rate, sure, but it still happens. And any person in the hospital is one too many theses days.
At the rate your countries going half a million is looking optimistic. I never thought people could be so numb to so much suffering and I don't just mean in the USA. Too many sociopaths out there.
My 20yo son got it in college at Michigan in October and still has trouble breathing deep. He's going back to the cardiologist next week. He's terrified of getting it again.
That new strain of the virus is gonna be there too :\ Just throwing gas into a forest already burning
Yeah. Vegas is packed, too. When we re-opened, way back in May, I thought we'd have a ton of customers who would resist the masks and other measures. I mean, who else would come to Vegas except COVID deniers? But nope. I vastly underestimated the apathy of Americans. Everyone's fine with the masks, but that's just more apathy; they wear it to avoid confrontation.
No one gives a shit. It's surreal.
Florida makes a fuckload of money off tourism. They want out of towners here. If they go home and kill their families after catching covid, they aren't Florida residents so Florida covid numbers still look "good". The system is working as intended here
Capacity with the reduced numbers that have been in place since they reopened.
Still a shitload of people, but not as many as it potentially could have been.
Yep this and it goes for everyone not just the red state deplorables this forum uses as a scapegoat for everything.
Heart Disease kills more per year. Yet we don't see news about it.
But you can stop it by eating Cheerios!
Oh I don't doubt that. Considering these parks have an incredibly high capacity under normal circumstances, even running at a fraction of that can result in well over 10k being in the park. And spreading things out for the sake of social distancing probably makes it feel like there are even more people about since they aren't packed into areas like they normally would be.
