CNN Reporter Aghast at Maskless, Drunk Super Bowl Crowds in Tampa: I Asked the Police, ‘What Are You Doing About This?’
RUSH EXCERPT:
KAYE: “The Tampa police tell me that they’re very disappointed by what they’ve seen and some of these establishments do risk being shut down. There are about 30,000 people a day that have been coming into Tampa international airport. This is really the officials’ greatest fears. The last thing they want is for the Super Bowl to turn into a superspreader event. They’re very concerned about that. But the city is extremely crowded. Officials are asking people not to yell, not to cheer. But we’re already hearing that here. They know that that’s how the virus spreads. They’re very concerned about that. They also don’t want them to drink a lot of alcohol. But we’re seeing plenty of that as well. They say that’s when people let their guard down. They might not social distance and take all of the safety protocols that they need to be taking, Ana. A lot happening here in the city of Tampa. Of course, people are excited about the game. But there’s safety to be concerned about too.”
