Mod: Wherever the Trump family and friends happen to go, Covid-19 is sure to follow. They're a one family hot spot.Mar-a-Lago should be shut down after New Year’s Eve party violated covid rules, state lawmaker says (The Washington Postlink): A Florida state representative wants Mar-a-Lago, President Trump's private club, shut down for violating local coronavirus safety restrictions during a New Year's Eve bash where attendees celebrated without wearing masks.
It was at least the second holiday event during which guests violated local restrictions and disregarded authorities’ advice against large gatherings.
In December, the conservative student group Turning Point USA held two large events in Florida, including one at Mar-a-Lago,
Social media posts from the

Palm Beach County officials said Monday they were reviewing the complaint from state
Rep. Omari Hardy, a Democrat from nearby
Lake Worth Beach.
“You are correct that there is a mask order in place in
Palm Beach County and all individuals need to be in compliance with that law,”
Todd Bonlarron, assistant
Palm Beach County administrator wrote to
Hardy. “We take these allegations very seriously as we do every complaint we have received regarding an individual or a business related to compliance issues.”
Young conservatives mingled maskless at Mar-a-Lago and partied with a money cannon. Hardy said “anybody with eyes” can see that partygoers at Mar-a-Lago were not complying with the order.
“They put their desire to have fun over the health of our residents,”
Hardy said. “Imagine the most reckless thing you could possibly do, and that’s what they did. And they smiled and they laughed and they posted it on social media. They have no shame about it.”
The county’s code enforcement “Covid Strike Team” has inspected more than 8,000 businesses since the mask mandate took effect on June 19, according to available data. The team issued 86 violations and ordered 27 businesses — bars, restaurants and adult clubs — closed, according to data from the county.
