Maybe we should not blame the kids for bad decisions. If travel was still allowed by the government, then the government is to blame. The government should have stopped flights to Mexico for non essential travel. If things are allowed, people will do it. Look at how many mature adults are not staying home. Also their parents could have stopped them. Remember that up until age 25, the brain is still developing. These kids seem irresponsible but that is normal at that age. Who thinks about long term consequences in the 18-21 age group?
There is another story circulating in The NY Times and elsewhere about how many people traveled to China after the government knew about Covid-19. The headline is:
430,000 People Have Traveled From China to U.S. Since Coronavirus Surfaced
There were 1,300 direct flights to 17 cities before President Trump’s travel restrictions. Since then, nearly 40,000 Americans and other authorized travelers have made the trip, some this past week and many with spotty screening.
