Some of my inlaws and possibly some of my grandchildren might have gone down to Mexico for spring break, but my son-in-law’s brother-in-law’s father is very ill with cancer, so they cancelled the trip. My grandchildren went down to the Carolina shore instead with their parents and some friends.

There was no word of this epidemic until spring break was already unleashed, unfortunately. Unlucky timing.

High schools have later spring breaks than colleges, so IMO, we’re actually really fortunate this didn’t happen much earlier. College kids are way more likely to travel to Mexico for spring break, more likely to come into contact with people all over the world, and more likely to live in somewhat crowded conditions that make disease transmission easier. I could easily see an entire dorm floor full of kids from probably a dozen or so states and a couple countries infected by the time the one person who went to Cancun for break begins to show symptoms... unlucky timing, yes, but it could have been far worse.
