A group of 16 friends all tested positive for coronavirus after a night out at a recently reopened Florida bar. They had gone out to celebrate a friend’s birthday and according to them, the bar was crowded and no one was wearing masks. Everyone in the group tested positive; and though some had flu like symptoms, none got seriously ill. The night and bar in question was Lynch’s Irish Pub on June 6 in Jacksonville Beach. The owner of the pub shut down for a weekend for some deep cleaning. According to Erika Crisp, one of the friends who tested positive, “We should be wearing masks. We should be social distancing,” Crisp said. “It was too soon to open everything back up.”
