"If you are young & healthy, listen up. We need you to follow social distancing guidelines too. You may only have mild symptoms for a few days & think you're just fine. But you can have the unintended, tragic effect of spreading #COVID19 to others who may be more vulnerable." People in other large cities, including New York, Nashville, Austin and Washington D.C., also flouted warning to head out to bars on Saturday night, according to posts on social media.I was just out on 14th St in DC to get an item from a hardware store. Bars were packed. Youâd think DC is a town full of bright news-junkies who get it. Not so. You people are recklessly putting your own life at risk, & that of others you interact with. I wish I was exaggerating.
Lorie Liebig wrote,"I am absolutely baffled by the state of downtown Nashville right now. There are hundreds of people packed in the bars along Broadway and on the sidewalks. Multiple people in the museum told me stories of being around sick people but nothing would stop their vacation!!! WTF."
