An NFL player showed herself on a yacht with six friends in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and had to delete the photo due to criticism.

The posting lasted a few hours on their social networks. Enough to contemplate the raining criticism. As the coronavirus pandemic generates more and more problems around the world and the United States becomes one of the countries with the highest number of infected cases, a member of the Washington Redskins of the NFL was in a celebration that sparked controversy.

The 22 year old Derrius Guice, who was chosen in the 2018 draft by the team from the North American capital, shared a postcard along with six friends on a yacht without respecting either the self-isolation protocols or the social distancing measures recommended around the world. Seeing the reaction of his followers, he quoted his photo and said "10 people is the rule", relying on the advice that President Donald Trump had previously given to avoid meetings with more than 10 people.

Beyond the fact that there is no compulsory quarantine measure in the United States at a general level, the main sights focused on how he avoided the suggestion to avoid unnecessary meetings and the nonexistence of social distancing, which requires around two meters of distance between people to prevent the spread of the virus. The escalation of criticism was such that Guice ended up eliminating that post and did not touch the topic on his networks again..

American journalist Mike Wise posted a screenshot of that deleted tweet and criticized it: "If we really believe in the world right now, this is the wrong kind of message. Especially from someone with the arrival of an NFL running back. Come on, Guice, you're better than that. " Among the various messages received by fans, some were very upset: “Come on man! Be a little smart in these crazy times! Do you know that Kevin Durant and others tested positive? It's not great at all. "

While President Trump seeks to end all these coronavirus-related measures by Easter and chose not to issue a mandatory quarantine throughout the national territory As it was done in several countries, the rapid growth of infected people forced several governors to implement drastic provisions, as happened, for example, in California: since March 20, the almost 40 million residents were urged to stay in their homes to prevent COVID-19 from spreading. However, the state order is not being very successful: thousands of young people flocked to the beaches against all regulations.

It should be noted that the NFL experienced its first case of coronavirus in recent days: the coach of the New Orleans Saints, Sean Payton, was diagnosed with the virus. “Young people feel like they can deal with this, but they can pass it on to someone who can't handle it. So we all have to do our part", he pointed.

Reality indicates that the spread of the disease in the United States is becoming more pronounced. Exceeded the line of the 60,000 infected and it is the third country with the most cases behind China and Italy.
