Seems incredibly stupid idea, I can't quite believe this isn't just a parody...

Please. Nobody do this. Regardless of your politics.

I read the article but did not make much of it,not sure the point really was other than overly youthful gay men having parties in support of Trump.

There was some college party up in Maine that supposedly did much to spread Covid too.

COVID-19 parties, chickenpox parties etc. exist and have existed.

Chicken pox parties were mostly in the old days, parents arranging it in lieu of a vaccine. It's better to get chicken pox young rather than getting it as an adult. Once you have chicken pox, that's it, me and you can't get chicken pox anymore cos we've got the required antibodies so we won't die of chicken pox. However, it's even better to just get a vaccine before having it at all...

With coronavirus, it doesn't work like that. We don't know the risks and I'm pretty sure there's been reinfections etc. So if his logic is 'get it as a young fit healthy guy then don't get it as an old man', he's wrong. We should be waiting for a vaccine.

It's people who are pretending the virus isn't real. I see it a lot on social media, it's a problem. People who want life to go on as normal. I think it's a psychological defensiveness.

Imo people should avoid the virus as much as they can. If you're autistic & mask exempt - go out less, order groceries etc online. If you're NT & otherwise non-exempt and have to be out for some reason - wear a mask. If you're autistic and can possibly wear a mask*- do so. If you're NT and can possibly avoid mixing face to face (for eg... not having a party in the middle of an epidemic...) do so...

Having parties right now in order to deliberately spread the virus or protest against small changes to society during the pandemic seems incredibly dangerous.

Of course, there are dangers to the whole lockdown thing. So it's weighing up risk factors - for eg there's a political discussion to be had about furlough versus sick pay versus going to work right now. Or people (esp NTs) are getting lonely indoors and that's bad for mental health - so it's finding healthy ways around that. But there's not a 'let's go have a party' option... That's plain irresponsible.

* For me it took 2 masks. First one wasn't good on a sensory level I tried another one and I'm 'ok' with it although it's not perfect for me on a sensory level so most of the time I stay at home or out in the open.

"When we looked at our COVID-positive athletes, whether they were symptomatic or not, 30 to roughly 35 percent of their heart muscles [were] inflamed," Wayne Sebastianelli, Penn State's director of athletic medicine, said earlier this week during a State College Area School District Board of Directors meeting. "And we really just don't know what to do with it right now. It's still very early in the infection. Some of that has led to the Pac-12 and the Big Ten's decision to sort of put a hiatus on what's happening."

"Myocarditis is the inflammation of the heart muscle, which can reduce the ability of the heart to pump, causing rapid or abnormal heart rhythms that in rare cases can lead to a stroke or heart attack. A viral infection, like COVID-19, typically causes myocarditis. Signs and symptoms include chest pain, fatigue and shortness of breath, though it often goes undetected"

Key HeaR is 'the Virus' May Cause
Human Harm, Whether Symptomatic
or Not; And of Course there is Much MORE
Coming in Research to know about the Virus As Well...

Chances Are 'Pretty Good' that the Folks Going to Trump
Covid-19 Rallies For Trump Without Masks, Sitting Closely
Together, Will Find Out More About this in the Future Now
That they have Signed Waivers, Not to Hold Donald J. Trump Accountable
for the Ignorance

ON '5th
Avenue'
As Usual
Again as
Flavors of 'American
Fascism' of Killing
Fields come
Prevalent
More
Now too...

Let's Face the Reality, in All terms
of Practical Intents and PurposeS, iN FacT,
Trump Rallies ARE CORONAVIRUS PARTIES
in Practical Effect of How Covid-19 parties Successfully too...

THiS Ain't Exactly Rocket Science: Wash Hands; Wear Masks;
Social Distance Appropriately; Stay Away From Crowds And
Indoor Spaces With Poor Ventilation; Live Long And Prosper;

Or Follow the
Example of
A 'Father
oF aLL
Lies;
And more
Likely Fall to those
Lies on 5th Avenue too;

And to Be Clear, Effective
Contact Tracing is important too;

But The Big 4 Above, 'Reasonably',
We All Will Do; With Or Without Administrative Support;

Making the ViRuS the Enemy, instead of Continuing FRiEnD oF iGnorance NoW FOR REAL.

I want one too!

In fact I think that we should up the ante, and have a Bubonic Plague Party. :D

Invite both your friends, and ...the local wild rodents!

They used to turn plague death funerals into parties because after a third of the western world had died people became so desensitized to it,it became something fun.
