Spring breakers flock to Covid hotspot Florida to party like it's 2019

A combination of students who feel they are at little risk and a governor who has lifted restrictions has experts worried, leading some schools to cancel spring break altogether

Covid-19 and spring break have never mixed well. Last March one young, shirtless man in Miami wearing a backwards-facing green cap went viral" in the pre-pandemic sense when he told a reporter: If I get corona, I get corona," he said. I'm not going to let it stop me from partying."
