TAOS, New Mexico/NEW YORK - As people in San Francisco shelter in place and New York City was warned to prepare for a similar measure, some 40 people met in New Mexico for an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on Wednesday amid White House pleas to avoid groups as the country battles coronavirus.
Large crowds of people were still swimming and sunning themselves on Florida beaches over the weekend. Scores of people were at Walt Disney World Resort before it closed on Sunday, and in Rogers, Minnesota, more than 300 people attended a benefit for a county worker who received a lung transplant last year.
While they were complying with the state’s ban on gatherings of 100 people or more, they were not following the White House guidance to limit groups to 10 people.As early as 10 days ago, the top U.S. infectious diseases expert, Anthony Fauci, began warning about the need to social distance and avoid crowds, then on Sunday the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said gatherings of 50 people or more should be canceled for the next eight weeks.
Elsewhere, it has been slower to take. In Las Vegas, where casinos were only shut down statewide on Tuesday, local photographer Carrie Pollard is due to photograph a wedding later this week. She said there are supposed to be fewer than 50 guests to comply with local rules and that it would be held at the couple’s home instead of a hotel as originally planned.
Along with avoiding gatherings of more than 10, the White House guidance also asks people to avoid discretionary travel, shopping trips and social visits.
