People Going Out Despite “Stay at Home” Orders

It is imperative to stay at home as much as you can during this time. Not only will it prevent hospitals from becoming completely overwhelmed, but it will also help stop the spread, especially to people who are more vulnerable to the virus. States like California, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey have officially issued “shelter in place” or “stay at home” orders which are being supported by police intervention. Louisiana and Ohio are the most recent states to issue similar orders. Then there are multiple others who have enacted restrictions for “non-essential” businesses. Despite the overwhelming concern and official action, there are still people who refuse to take this pandemic seriously. This is a problem that can be seen worldwide, from France to Australia. Despite California and Florida’s governors shutting down their beaches, thousands are still flocking to them. As a result, at least five Florida spring breakers have recently tested positive and who knows how many else were infected.
