About 70 people in their 20s chartered a plane from Austin, Texas, to Mexico for spring break two weeks ago. They went against the advice of White House officials who asked that people avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 and nonessential air travel.
Now 44 of those people have tested positive for coronavirus -- all of them University of Texas at Austin students, a university spokesman told CNN on Wednesday.
An elected official had a blunt message for the spring breakers.
"Quit being an a**," Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen told CNN affiliate KXAN. "Get over yourselves. Whether you think this is an issue or not, it is. Whether you think it could affect you or not, it does. The reality of it is, if I'm a college kid who's going to spring break in Mexico, you're affecting a lot of people. Grow up."
What's also alarming is that some of the passengers who went on the trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, took commercial flights home, the Austin Public Health Department said.

There are no excuses, especially lame ones.
Their selfishness knows no bounds.
A very true life lesson learned here. Sad.
Maybe they will pass and know one will notice
These are the children who, through their massive egos and ignorance , will actually kill some of their parents and grandparents.
Think of the massive amount of people in Mexico that are not being tested! They continue to spread it, the spring breakers spread it on the flights and at the airport. This is unreal!
