A data company released a video showing the spread of the coronavirus that originated from college students who descended onto a Ft. Lauderdale beach during spring break.

Tectonix GEO analyzed secondary locations of several thousands of anonymized mobile device users to show where they went to across the country after spring break.

Want to see the true potential impact of ignoring social distancing? Through a partnership with @xmodesocial, we analyzed secondary locations of anonymized mobile devices that were active at a single Ft. Lauderdale beach during spring break. This is where they went across the US: pic.twitter.com/3A3ePn9Vin — Tectonix GEO (@TectonixGEO) March 25, 2020

When that data is tracked, it shows it spreading through the streets of Fort Lauderdale, to the airport, and then to much of the East Coast and Midwest.

Students were criticized for attending spring break, and the state of Florida was criticized for not closing the beaches at the very onset of the crisis. Presumably, untold numbers of them carried the COVID-19 virus with them to Florida, and an even greater number carried it back home with them once the break was over, Mass Live reports.
