Even pirates have been forced to cease their normal activities because of the pandemic.
The Florida city of Tampa’s annual celebration of buccaneering known as Gasparilla will not take place this year.
Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla represented Tampa’s old guard when it began the event in 1904, and is still at the helm today.
This year’s event was postponed and then cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
