People in Florida clearly have no understanding of "social distancing"

Right now, most of the world has been told to practice ‘social distancing,’ which means avoiding being close to others, and avoiding anywhere crowded—mostly staying at home.

Since the clip went viral, the city has decided to close “Spring Break Camps,” in a tweet the city said, “In an abundance of caution amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the city of #Clearwater is canceling Spring Break Camps at all recreation facilities starting March 18th. If you have any questions, please contact your recreation center.

Florida reports 19 new cases of COVID19.
