WHILE others are hunkering down at home to protect themselves from coronavirus, Teen Mom Briana DeJesus has done the exact opposite with her children.
The 25-year-old has come under fire for taking her two daughters to a waterpark and the beach in Florida over the weekend.
She also joked “quarantine won’t stop me” as she appeared to be back training to be a cosmetologist.
Briana head out with her daughters, Nova, 9, and Stella, 2, sharing photos of their sun filled weekend on Instagram.
“My whole life,” the mom captioned as the girls played under water features at the Gatorland theme park in Orlando.
The girls held up peace signs in the photo and were wearing t-shirts that had on them a photo of them and their mom in front of a Gatorland sign.
The next day they hit the beach, for “beach vibes with my day ones!” Briana wrote on Instagram.
Even though the girls seemed to be enjoying themselves, a chorus of critics jumped on to Reddit to point out Briana should not have been out in public because of the coronavirus.
“Of all the weekends to take her kids to Gatorland… she picked this one?” wrote one Reddit user.
While another added: “I’m glad the girls had fun but it seems like something that could’ve waited. I personally think it’s a bit reckless. I wouldn’t take chances with my child’s health.”
The criticism did not seem to bother Briana who turned up to her cosmetology training on Monday.
She was studying how to do eyebrow microblading at the Esthetic World Beauty academy and shared her training tools and notes.
“Quarantine won’t stop me,” she wrote on Instagram.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended that people do not congregate in crowds larger than 50 people to prevent the rapid spread of coronavirus.
President Donald Trump went one further and said people should avoid social gatherings of more than 10 people.
He tweeted a list of precautions all people are expected to take over the next 15 to battle the “invisible enemy.”
Florida has recorded 142 or the 4,464 cases in the US, which has recorded 86 fatalities from the virus so far.
