[ExI] the parties didn't do it

[William Flynn Wallace]

One:  most of the spring breakers spent their time outside, I am assuming -

Two - the state is open, so the percentage of bar patrons that are breakers
is small compared to those over the whole state.

Three - presumably, no one who had the virus went on spring break

just a thought or two - bill w
