Miami Beach, Florida, January 3 (efe-epa).-Coronavirus? What kind of coronavirus? Thousands of Miami Beach tourists and locals enjoy the vast white sand beaches of the city of Barrier Island, party at local nightspots, and many forget what Florida is seeing right now. It seems to be thinking when enjoying the atmosphere of a sunny street. It was the worst day since a highly contagious and often deadly virus struck Florida.

People in half-naked swimsuits, with or without Covid-19, play on the beach, surf and stroll the famous Ocean Drive, and hear fun animated conversations from all directions, with a variety of choices. I will. Even the unique scent of music and marijuana that face masks can’t block.

Among the people contributing to the hustle and bustle are friends of Silvio Maracas who traveled from Brazil to have a good time and party at Miami Beach without worrying about picking up the coronavirus.

He told EFE that he was already infected with the virus at home, of course, without a face mask, but was negative before boarding the plane to Miami.

Police are “threatening” about not wearing a face mask by simply imposing a fine that they don’t wear, but unless someone goes straight to many without wearing a mask, the police are no more. He said he would do nothing. He adheres to philosophy and many people in Miami Beach seem to say that “enjoying the moment outweighs the potential punishment.”

Many tourists and locals violate the rules, and people who are not socially distant, who wear face masks, and who wash their hands frequently can infect themselves. Many people post party evidence on social networks, ignoring health officials’ suggestions for fear of being, and carry the virus to relatives and others who will be contacted later.

An example is the hip-hop singer Taiga, who livened up a party at a nightspot in Miami Beach on New Year’s Eve and later posted a video of a crowded club on Instagram where people simply ignored the 6-foot social distance guidelines.

Taiga is still having a party, and on Saturday there was another party at the Story Club in Miami Beach.

Meanwhile, in all the turmoil, Florida broke records last week, recording 17,192 confirmed cases of coronavirus in one day. This is significantly higher than the 15,300 cases enrolled at the peak of the first Covid-19 wave last summer.

However, the detection of a more contagious UK mutation in the coronavirus in Florida does not appear to scare or affect pedestrians on Lincoln Road, Espanolaway, or Ocean Drive. A man who has never traveled anywhere else and was therefore a clear case of “community expansion”.

And curfew is being enforced in the city from midnight to 6 am, and people may seemingly wear face masks in public places to maintain social distance or be fined. Despite the fact that there are all of these.

However, Venezuelans living in Chile’s capital Santiago Albert Chacon and Juan Manuel Torres, who are visiting Miami Beach, said they had rarely seen police officers on the streets and that “half of the people” did not wear masks. It was.

“Miami Beach is far behind when compared to Chile’s safety measures,” said Chacon, Torres, who has always had a “fear” of infection but needs to learn to live with the virus. I added that there is. Enjoying a good time means “stopping living.”

Miami Beach isn’t an isolated case, and the situation is recurring in other Florida tourist cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Orlando. Last week, some theme parks closed just minutes after they were opened to the public. Allowed maximum number of guests.

With tourists and locals flocking to Florida’s beaches, sunny streets, restaurants and nightclubs, the state ranks third in coronavirus cases after California and Texas.

But nevertheless, many simply say “party on …”.
