More than two dozen students from the University of Texas who chartered a plane to Mexico for spring break are now infected with the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.

The City of Austin, Texas, announced the news on Tuesday, saying of the 70 students who chartered the plane to Cabo San Lucas about a week and a half ago, at least 28 of them have tested positive for COVID-19. Dozens more are under public health investigation. At least four of the confirmed cases were asymptomatic, said officials.

Almost half of all the positive COVID-19 cases in the Austin-Travis County area have occurred in those between the ages of 20 and 40, according to county data.

See it around here too. And the people caught on the 2 cruise ships, what the h*ll were they doing on a cruise ship in the 1st place. Never been on one, but see that most cruises are 1-2 weeks duration so they had to thumb their noses at the "stay at home" instructions that have been around since the beginning of March. And, cruise ships are mostly middle age or older.

There are 2 of those - under 30 and over 70,

Almost half of all the positive COVID-19 cases in the Austin-Travis County area have occurred in those between the ages of 20 and 40, according to county data.

Have to also remember that they are in a state where a state of denial of reality also resides.

5,114 have died under the Coronavirus, 60 million died of the Swine flu under Obama. Because Obama is their God the media didn't push it day and night. You don't even remember it.
The media hate Trump and that's why the constant coverage and the frenzy.

Such a crock of BS.

I have no idea where you got that number but the world wide mortality number was about 200k and the US number was just around 4k

Maybe if folks did not just make up crap things in this country would be just that little bit better.

And I can, then, continue to enjoy and appreciate the close company and touch and sharing of everyday life with others - at not mandated distance, shaking hands, hugging, and kissing others hello.

Maybe, maybe not. Two months from now we could still be on the down slope of propagation and still in avoidance mode. 6 months from now it could return. We don't know.

At a minimum, I would just really like to be physically present at The Mass, again, along with the physical presence of our congregation , able to receive and minister The Eucharist.

It would be nice not to find the doors of the churches closed and locked against us any further.

Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday have been cancelled (but not really.)

Lots of things I'd like but not at the risk of myself or at the risk of endangering others.

Congregation met in Ark.; 36 members test positive and they are tracking down the rest to quarantine them. Another church met and last I heard they were pressing charges against the minister.

I see no rational reason to put others at risk particularly when it's totally unnecessary.

Pretty sure that God, he, she it, plural or otherwise is probably going to understand and be forgiving.

The media hate Trump and that's why the constant coverage and the frenzy.

NPR reported last night that Adam Schiff (turns out it's Pelosi and entire Democratic party) is/are trying to open an investigation into the handling of the virus. I understand who Trump is and his limitations and he did get a late start on this depending on who you listen too, but looking backwards is always 20/20 and no one can say the dems would have done any better. The dems have hounded Trump since he took office and done everything they can to undermine his administration. Although I don't care for the man, I'm sick of this behavior. I only hope the Republicans have learned something and treat the next democratic administration the same way...sadly the dems own the media (literally). I hate bullies and I'd just about give my life to be able to meet Schiff, Pelosi and Schumer in a dark alley.

They did that to the last one....and all that does is keep the fires burning both ways, getting nothing done that needs doing....

But they have a few points worth making - the pandemic response office was dismantled/discontinued....Burr briefed them on how bad this was going to be in private and them publicly turned around 180 degrees while sell off his stock holdings. There's quite a few issues with the failure to respond, the 6-8 weeks of denial and refusal to act, the never ending denial to accept facts. the endless concern over the economy overshadowing any concern for the country's citizens all while the country goes to Hades on an express train.
