The local public health department and UT Health UT Health Austin and University Health Services have contacted all of the passengers on the plane using flight manifests from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Is spring break canceled? Student getaways scuttled by coronavirus

Do not give them any medication or any facility let them rot

Those are the people who should be getting fines.

What a bunch of jerks!

Their parent's are disciples of Rush Limbaugh who has continued to peddle the fantasy that Covid19 is simply the flu and nobody should worry about it.

I'm sure they be alwhite.

mimidancer

pal29b What was the mechanism of transmission? Oh sorry to interrupt your journalism with a science question.

Everyone knows that some 20 somethings have no clue at times of what their doing. Get them out of mommy's basement and its party time!

No Pity from me

Ya. That sounds like Texas people. They say, 'ignorance is bliss.' But some of the people around here are so dumb it must hurt.

Charge them with murders if any

Better than 50% infection rate. Great odds for lottery tickets, not so much for lethal diseases. MAGAVirus

ChicagoPhotoSho Should be charged. Reckless, endangering others.

EvolvingJuan Let natural selection take its course.

Darwin award nominees

They certainly deserved to get the Chinese Virus. Karma

cchukudebelu Stupidity at its worse

Maybe they should have chartered a flight to Chernobyl. The outcome might have been equal or better.

More likely got it in Texas and spread it to Mexico

Karmaaaaaaaa

And this is why the curve well keep going up about up and up. Americans are stupid and selfish and dumb. We'll keep doing whatever we want in the name of 'freedom' even if it literally kills us.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Look at what leftists children are doing . . .

You released this article already a week ago, did you not get the public outrage and hate on “rich kids” that you were hoping for?

Can we all say idiots ! But have they had a good time .........?

Are they sick though?

Selfish Twats !

UTAustin nice work

Idiots

Karma!

Republicans gonna blame CNN. Republicans have blamed everything except the virus and Trump.

Karma

I still say nothing is gonna get better until we do a national lockdown!!!

Let them get well on their own. Better yet, shoot them

You can’t fix stupid

What can you expect when you have a “leader” who won’t follow his own directives, won’t wear a mask

Oh well they didn't listen now they suffer the CONSEQUENCES!

So what , young kids have a little fever and the runs. I get that all the time watching CNN

4lisaguerrero Well deserved, I might add. So, sorry for being too direct.

Idiots, some will die. But the worst is they’re going to kill others

because they are self centered assholes who think the world revolves around them....

Absolutely disgusting! The question is..... Who picks up the bill for their medical care? The government?

Fucking Americans. 🤦🏾‍♀️

It's really hard to be sympathetic to anyone who purposefully ignored CDC warnings. You're not invincible afterall are you.

They looked for it

Karma bitches

nytimes realDonaldTrump people So they have the virus now, well nobody cares! When you refuse to listen & refuse to do as you are told because you want to party,then I don’t care you now sick. Let’s hope you don’t end up on ventilator or 6-feet under because of your stupidity

Just perfect! 😡 People like this will be why we can’t go out side this summer! whattheholyhell

Just think how many people they infected!

Obama did not have any problems solving the swine flu. He didn't cause for the stock market to crash,our economy shutdown and unemployment double. It is time to put a Democrat back in the White House. -Gregory St. James Mundy-

Who is going to hold the charter company accountable- come on CNN do your job by calling them out !

There is a certain demographic worldwide who just dont give a fuck - but love to apportion blame when the shit hits the fan........

Say goodbye Texas...y'all next

When people don't do what they are supposed to do, the government have to force them. There are people in Mexico going on vacation and that should be not allowed.

Very dangerous

They deserve it, they’re just a bunch of irresponsible assholes

Darwin Awards all round!

BLAME TRUMP FOR NOT TAKING ANYTHING OF THIS SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

Fine them all.

They asked for it.

👏👏👏👏 good job! 👍

Nothing else but natural selection at work.

Is this fake news or not Who knows if it’s real or another crazy opinion!!!!

they have freedom to charter a plane to anywhere greeting from China

DarwinAwards

Good for them .. hard headed!

They should have been detained upon returning to the US

You can’t fix stupid.

How did they get tested when many are being denied?

Let them all have it

With a 99.99999999999% chance of survival. Nobody cares

Ha ha! StayHomeSaveLives fools

Weeding out the herd

Cool story man

Assholes.

Absolutely Shameful. This administration put lives at risk.

But isn’t that their choice? POTUS

Parents and kids. Should have been prevented

How stupid can one person be

Darwin Award candidates

Fortunately in Mexico apparently no one became sick as consequence of this irresponsable kids. Which obviously one of them was sick and spread the virus between them. 🙏🙏

I will pray those morons survive.

Young, selfish and STUPID

These are the kind of stupid and ignorant Americans that should be slapped in their faces everyday!!! The same that vote Trump!!

Add them to the Dbag list.

Quarentine in the „pen“ - no questions asked - all guilty.

Darwinism..

CNN likes to report depressing side of everything. Parents must be careful to let their kids see this so called news. Fox does a much more balanced job. They show both sides much more inspirational.

They should be place on a waitlist for treatment.

Old news is no news.

Imagine taking the fake news MSM's word on ANYTHING in the year 2020...talk about gullible...

LOL CNN You have been running this for a week. No other news events out there to report on ? Sorry, I guess that would not fit your narrative.

Well the president has told everyone that everything is fake news..so you have to wonder..did they believe him .?

They shouldn't be allowed back in the states.

Can’t cure stupid!

Let them die their corpse would learn a lesson nonsense

Idiots

It’s quite understandable that people want to continue on with any traditional things that they do for holidays like Easter four instance, and yes it’s hard sometimes to cooperate and follow the rules that are here to keep us safe, but lots of people end up learning the hard way.

But hey, can’t put a price on partying (but you apparently can of grandma & grandpa) 🤦‍♀️

You’ve posted this 5 times.... is this really all the material you have?

And they take up resources from healthcare

From rich kids to dead kids

😐😐😐😐

It is very obvious now that we still have lots of people that are deaf. Obedience is key

Bunch of fools calling not only their own peril but also endangering the rest of the human community.

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

HEALTHCARE HEALTHCARE peoplearelosingtheirhealthcare durning a HEALTH EMERGENCY

Dipshits

I agree with the month or two. However, we have to think of other things now.

Stay HOME!

They should be prosecuted for the useless act.. savelives

Because the stupid fake news from CNN

This will never End if the government do not handley right

There are no laughing memes that do this justice.

Told ya so. Those travel execs pocket books were wroth it.... eh?

Pure, unadulterated, selfishness.

Grandma says, “Thanks.”

What sort of irresponsibility and recklessness is that?

UT / ATX

These young people are so wreckless, nowadays.

Idiots!

Why were they even allowed? Private plane charters shouldn't be allowed and neither should travel thats not Essential!! I doubt they had a good explination for leaving the country!!

I think Chinese people did much better on staying at home, we canceled everything no matter how much cost we would pay, I think the most expensive cost is your are risking front line medical works lives.

There's a chance 4 of them will die.

They deserve it.

File that with Mardi Gras and ignoring strict warning signs!

karma is nearly undefeated during this pandemic

They will be fine, they are young and presumably healthy. They may kill their parents and grand parents.

They should receive no medical attention. Ignore the imbeciles.

And how many people did they infect? How many people died because they are selfish fools?

Texan did texan

Natural selection!

Not putting more pressure on the American hospitals then? Irresponsible!!! Selfish!!!

Stupidity at it's best. Stupid people are mind wearing. They should be arrested.

Fking idiots and their parents are defending them using the logic that they were not going to get a refund so they would lose money. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So stupid

PeteSouza

Bernie and Biden voters folks... Vote wisely in Nov Trump

Assholes

Now let’s do NYC/NY with the laxed rules and regulations! I think they are still out and about with no cares in the world.

Thinning the herd isn’t a bad idea.

Later on cnn gonna blame trump for it 😂

That was very selfish & reckless, there’s no question. I’m not defending their actions, but I remember when I was in my 20s and I was just like them. The numbers say that at least 2 will probably die (1 is too many)I hope that’s not the case. Ppl need 2b mindful this isn’t a game

Miriseeee

When would people learn

Mexico turn to say “build that wall”

gather them together and pew pew lol

I call for an independent investigator to look into the claims of Tara Reade. Now.

Pay for misdeed!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They will blame the president soon...

So irresponsible idiotsnocareforothers

NATIONAL ORDER NOWWWWW

yet will find a way to spin the data into blaming our current administration over primetime statistics analysis rather than having americans take some responsibility in this free country as well.

세계각국은 대규모 의료시설과 의료진을 갖고있어야한다 셰게 초강대국 미국은 코로나 바이르스에 초기에 너무나 안일하게 대처했다 또한 의료기기 병윈 의료진 보유가 턱없이 부족하고 전염병 재난대비가 체계적으로 갗추어져 있지 않았다

to the great and civilized people of the United States and other countries : Donald Trump, because of his inability to control the corona virus, intends to create an artificial crisis in the Middle East by waging war in Iraq to prevent a possible defeat in the next election.

these young people really don't know what they have done, they could infect other vulnerables.

Just think, there’s an excellent chance, come November that we’ll all be asked to pay for these a-holes’ college tuition, student loans, and medical bills.

Covidiots

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Plus how many responsible family and friend victims did these selfish people infect?

I bet they all got craps

Those people will still blame President Trump....

See my story on instagram jatin_goyal_7042

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Happy Holidays.

NaturalSelection

That's a lie, I was on that plane.

Same mistakes.

Since you are the' boy that cried wolf' so many times, nobody believes anything you say CNN!

No Zuo No Die

OgbeniBash Iberiberism.

And?

Let the US government forget about them, and focus essential cases. Theirs is non-essential. They are smart and should take care of themselves.

A closer look at government officials should be taken.

Morons

this is not the first report of a Spring Break infection cluster, and it wont be the last. the irresponsibility of these young people - and those families who helped finance these trips - is beyond the capriciousness of youth, and directly reflects Trump's lack of ability to lead

Human beings will disappoint you.

Texas.

thanks god there is no spring break in the philippines!

That was a good idea

Morons

Morons

Gente francamente irresponsable, ignorante y retardada mental. Un ser humano con Coeficiente Intelectual normalito y en su sano juicio no lo haría

No sympathy.

That's good for them

Dumbasses.

70 foolish people!

Quarantine the rest.

Insane

SethAbramson Here’s what they could face in 🇨🇦, a Quarantine Act is now in effect: up to $750,000 and/or imprisonment for six months. If someone jeopardizes another's life 'while wilfully or recklessly contravening the act'

Can't ever tell 20 yr olds anything remember... We thought we knew it all in our 20s and that we were immune to the harsh reality of life.

SethAbramson Criminals

They should pay their own hospital bills

SethAbramson I’ve reached a point I never thought I’d reach. Let them die.

Pay for the chartered flight off their student loan, SMART assholes.

SethAbramson Might as well call it the Spring Break virus at this point. These kids and kids like them have helped spread this.

Yeee how they dug coronavirus for themselves, can we feel pity for them? Yes, they are human beings like us fallible and mortal who deserve forgiveness.

To much asking. They need to act.

They too thought it was a hoax. Maybe they thought it would disappear with the warmer weather. Wonder where they could get these stupid idea from - realDonaldTrump GOP realTuckFrumper

asaone11 They say 44 out of 70! Chances are very good that passengers in the commercial flight were infected. Stupid.

The question is how many people did they spread the virus 🦠 to before their diagnosis since asymptomatic carriers can infect others? That’s why wearing a mask 😷 is so essential.

I predict awkward thanksgiving dinners this year when grandma or grandad aren’t there because of the selfishness of their spring breaking grandkid who sentenced them to death

good. incinerate them

Meh. They deserve it.

All Too Well

Their parents must be so proud. No mercy.

Do not waste any ventilators on these idiots. They signed the DNR when they boarded the plane.

And they probably have contaminated a lot of Mexicans. This is criminal. They should go to jail in Mexico.

Stay at home they will not listen 💔🤕

Idiots. This virus will never go away if we allow morons to roam around and not abide by the rules

Tells you money doesn’t buy brains

Serves these assholes right

You can't fix stupid. This is our future America!

US kids are dumb af

Idiots

And these are the young who have been brainwashed to vote for liberal socialists.

Damn...dumb and dumber at it again eh? Serves them right!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They don't need 'advice', they need rules. Idiots.

Madooo

Free healthcare in Mexico, spring breakers. Don’t come back until you’re better.

Done let them back! Idiots

Consequences!

Where do 20 something's get enough money to charter a plane?

They are Not gettin any sympathy from me, especially when they ignored healthcare officials

Why did these inconsiderate, selfish idiots get tested?

Idiots!!!!

Using CNN and their small sheeple audience logic..

Dipshits

This is a plague put upon the poor the week the elderly the dutiful by the rich selfless and stupid

those ignorance people 🙃

Give them floats and push them into the pacific

..and that's of those 'fortunate' enough to actually be able to GET a test

No wonder Mexico cut off the border to Americans :)

This is on WhiteHouse and Dr. Brix. They encouraged people not to do social distancing until it was TooLittleTooLate.

gaxij

Make sure they don’t fill beds in hospitals!!! Idiots have to suffer

Which they got from each other, not from Mexico

Lies... USA should have sent everything down 4 weeks ago. Gov't fault for not warning the public.

JuliaDavisNews The future Abbotts anc Patricks.

But this comes from CNN, so something is probably false about this story.

Here’s hoping they’ve not yet passed their genes along.. 🤞🏿

Should’ve come to Florida to play golf since that’s still allowed after the “stay home” order. Send them to quarantine to Mar a Lago - it’s still open for business since golfing in Florida is essential. WTFisGoingOn

Great

Idiots.

Idiots

LauraMiers You really can't fix stupidity smh 🤦🏽‍♂️😐

More stress for already overwhelmed medical services. Bravo you selfish pigs

University huh?

Did you all have fun in Mexico?

Idiots

What about these Kashmiris

Tough luck and,lesson learned!

They should all be expelled

Is that the same public officials RonDeSantisFL that are letting the churches have their services?

Told ya so!

Long Horn Virus Spreading Twits!

Selfishness... They knowingly traveled and likely spread this awful disease to others. Karma for them and prayers for those they infected

Educated illiterates!!! Govt failed too in stoping and prevention it no vision, led to so many failures...

Vegaswoman2020 Texas republicans and kids still listening to trump during spring break first 2 weeks in March. When did he finally acknowledge it was serious March 16th?

jaketapper Well, clearly, common sense was not taught at their university. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yeh right

They should keep the kids at school and not send them home

Arngrim And we expected them to return healthy?!?!? covidiots

Natural selection at work.

Incredibly irresponsible & selfish. And what kind of parents do they have? I don’t care if they’re 18+ because CLEARLY they’re immature fuckers.

Gitmo?

Oh well... they were warned and chose not to listen.

'Hook 'em COVID!' said no one ever.

Expel them from the school.

Idiots

There is no cure to stupidity

At this point anybody who blatantly disregard the safety of others by ignoring restrictions should be held accountable. I wouldn’t want those idiots representing my University, I recommend expulsion.

jaketapper Wow out of what 50,000 kids on spring break? Stop fear mongering

Texas? wait, doesn't their Lt. Gov think their grandparents are willing to die to ensure their financial future?

No prescription or cure for stupidity! Blame it on GregAbbott_TX

those people are really good friends of Virus. they help virus spreading quickly, maybe they only consider themselves to be happy and ignore other people's health------selfish evil

Thinning of the stupidity herd.

Very sad

Unfortunately all that money that mommy and daddy spend on a higher education for their little darling doesn’t include a course in common sense. Coronidiots COVID
