Their parents should be so proud.
Same thing happened in New Orleans.
Coronavirus cases are surging in New Orleans, and health officials have said Mardi Gras could’ve been the breeding ground for cases in other states too.
This is what permissive parenting has created.
If Cuomo was the governor of Florida it wouldn't be happening. He just said you can only go to work in New York State if you are in an essential industry, i.e. markets, pharmacies, banks. He further said: This isn't a suggestion; this will be enforced.

"Yesterday there was a funeral in Mount Merrion. All observed social distancing. The undertakers had kindly provided lots of hand sanitiser. Two young guys pulled up in a car, grabbed all the sanitisers & fled. Seriously what’s wrong with people?"
Great question.
In Italy there are no funerals. People die alone, and are stacked up waiting for burial and then buried with no family with them.
The general practitioner raised a bottle of hand sanitizer and showed his face mask. But as for protective gloves?
“They have run out,” he told Euronews late last month. “Certainly, we were not prepared to face this situation."
Natali died Wednesday after testing positive for the novel coronavirus and then battling double pneumonia, Italy’s National Federation of Doctors and General Practitioners announced in a statement. He was 57.
“I have no more tears,” the head of the federation, Silvestro Scotti, wrote on Facebook, mourning his friend. “You didn’t deserve this. We don’t deserve this.”
As of Thursday, Natali is among at least 13 doctors in Italy who have died on the front lines while treating the nation’s coronavirus patients under strenuous circumstances, according to Italian news agency ANSA.
No one was prepared, with the possible exception of some East Asian countries who had some prior experience with SARS. I saw a suggestion from a local hospital here for nurses to use scarves as masks. SCARVES!
An executive order has been signed requiring industries to re-tool as directed to produce some of these needed materials, but it's going to take time to get it done.
Meanwhile...
US firms make masks in China, and Chinese government won't allow their export. https://nyti.ms/2Wm3Vw7
They've also made a threat about antibiotics.
Moral of the story for me: No country should be dependent on other countries for essential supplies to protect its people. I don't care if you're talking about the EU or some trade agreement. Don't trust them. If a company wants to sell products in your country, they have to produce some there, and that includes U.S. companies wanting to sell in the U.S.
