I am located in South Fl, in a beachside town (of the nicest beaches in the state, but not near miami).
I am very disappointed to see the numbers of cases here increase at such a high-rate. I can comprehend the inevitability of a lot of folks getting exposed, but this is coming at the hand of severe mental retardation/ignorance. I think the media is badly representing Floridians. The vast majority of people I know are bunkered down and self-quarantined. The same people bracing for hurricane season in June bought a few extra bags of rice and beans, water, gas, etc and stocked up early this year. No one I know isn't taking this seriously.
However, there is a neighborhood here exclusively populated by New-Yorkers who relocate here during the winter months. They all head back to New York in February, so it has been empty over the last few weeks (it gets literally empty). but over the past 10 days I have seen thousands and thousands of them flood back here. Not only are they back, they are living 100% as if nothing is going on. The grocery stores (which I am not going to) are packed to the tits with the elderly New-York crowd and they give no fucks. I just took a drive down the beach with my girl and they are fucking everywhere. They are walking around the beach, the sidewalk, talking to each other, grilling food, etc. To clarify, nearly 100% of these people are retired and over the age of 70. They are easily distinguished from locals and exclusively drive Mercedes or Jaguar Sedans.
