And they are turning everyone around at the border? Meaning they are refusing entry to FL?
WWE's WrestleMania was scheduled to be in Tampa on 04.05.20. All the other performances/live events/venues/etc. were cancelled immediately due to COVID-19, except for WM, which the city finally cancelled after much pressure, and WWE was still planning on moving forward with the event before the announcement  |
Well, at ~ 1.5% mortality rate (skewed toward the elderly), i doubt everybody dies. And if the economy tanks, we'll all be looking at something worse than a 1.5% mortality rate. Much worse, e.g., huge unemployment, riots, murders,... and still be dealing with covid19.
At some point we'll need to decide if it's worth continuing trying to fight mother nature this way at the greater population's peril.
