Stay-at-home orders have nearly halted travel for most Americans, but people in Florida, the Southeast and other places that waited to enact such orders have continued to travel widely, potentially exposing more people as the coronavirus outbreak accelerates, according to an analysis of cellphone location
1 / 2Sick Immigrants Isolate At Home During Recovery From Suspected COVID-19 CasesMINEOLA, NEW YORK - MARCH 30: An undocumented Honduran immigrant, 4, sick and isolated with his family for the last two weeks, stands inside his bedroom window on March 30, 2020 in Mineola, New York. The nine immigrants who share a Long Island rental house self-quarantined after one became ill with fever, and the rest quickly followed. Most are largely recovered but never received tests for COVID-19.
In Jacksonville, the sheriff’s department had to send out officers over the weekend to break up block parties. In Spartanburg, South Carolina, people were still going to the hardware store to buy supplies for home-improvement projects, and pictures from children’s birthday parties and play dates were being posted on Facebook.
Florida waited so long to shut down travel that it will struggle to control local outbreaks even if people immediately change their behavior significantly, said Thomas Hladish, an infectious disease modeler at the University of Florida. People who now sequester themselves at home still risk having brought the virus home to their families, he said.
Brown acknowledged that the city — which has undergone an economic rebirth in recent years — would surely suffer by keeping people home. But she said she feared that waiting any longer may mean devastation down the line. Disease experts said that a tenfold reduction in travel in many counties in the U.S. gave them hope that other places could have similar success, as long as the reductions remain in effect for an extended period and are implemented nationwide.
