If I get corona, I get corona. At the end of the day, I’m not gonna let it stop me from partying, I’ve been waiting for Miami spring break for a while about two months, we’ve had this trip planned, we’re out here having a good time, whatever happens, happens.
The Internet wasn’t happy with these complaining douchebags.
Our grandparents were asked to go to war we asked these assholes to stay home on the couch and they can’t even do that.

On behalf of millennials, I am sorry for these people. (these are probably zoomers, though tbf)

Reckless, self centered, uncaring people who feel immortal, entitled & indifferent to the risk they are posing to the rest of the world are why we have to worry even more about this nightmare of a #pandemic. They will rejoin their normal neighbors without care for those at risk.
