According to officials, college students in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, are throwing parties where infected people are urged to attend so others can intentionally contract the virus. “They put money in a pot and they try to get COVID. Whoever gets COVID first gets the pot,” a city official said.

The virus doesn’t care how rich [Ashley Taylor Bronczek] is, or who her friends are, or how much money she raised for the ballet, or anything else. It’s a virus. It spreads. That’s what viruses do.
I hope Bronczek and her party guests recover, and I hope they didn’t spread it to too many other people. The same thing goes for all the people out there in the streets right now, risking the virus because #BlackLivesMatter more than keeping Grandma safe does. That’s all I can do: hope.
And if and when my hopes are dashed, I can rest assured that the whole thing will be my fault.
Read the whole thing.
