Maybe President Trump was right to quarantine New York and prevent them from spreading the disease across America?
Apparently there are a number of Instagram influencers who are fleeing the state and posting photos of their journeys across america, “potentially spreading the disease and infecting more ppl”:
A well-known mom blogger/momfluencer has sparked backlash after posting about leaving NYC and heading West in an RV with her kids to get more space during the pandemic, potentially spreading the disease and infecting more ppl https://t.co/UlgQvuhlHn pic.twitter.com/w5w4jlIKox

And, no Jill Filipovic, it’s not “fine”:
It's absolutely not "actually fine." It is against what all public health officials are urging and normalizing this type of behavior to potentially millions is also wildly irresponsible!

This one is driving to Florida. No wonder Gov. Ron DeSantis is setting up roadblocks:
Another influencer irresponsibly posting about fleeing NYC metro area and driving down to Florida with the whole family (she believes there may be sick ppl in her building in NYC). Just 0 empathy or acknowledgement for what they could spread along the way. https://t.co/s7p3O0WOvk pic.twitter.com/6DxolsWkBV

And if you criticize her you’re a “hater”:
This influencer is now posting about her "lunch stops" on the drive from NYC down to FL and calling people who criticize her decision "haters." Promoting these types of selfish choices (going against the advice of public health officials) is dangerous. https://t.co/RGef2Xuu7q pic.twitter.com/2Gg4bAooAv
