Some university students in Alabama were denounced to the authorities for organizing "COVID Parties". The organizers of the party invited people tested positive from COVID19 to transmit the virus to the attendees. It was about betting on who would be positive for the virus first. They put money in a pot and the first one to test positive took the loot.

Alabama has registered to date 40111 positive cases, recoveries 15974, new cases 996 and deaths 841.

That is something I only have seen in movies,horror movies.It is incredible people are doing sick things like these to organize a party and to transmit one of the worst virus in history to other people.It is great that they are denounced to the authorities and I think they need to stay in jail for quite some time.

It is embarrassing, I could not believe it until I read it in several articles, I did not want to publish it, but I thought it was important to be aware of what our young people do in our countries and warn them about this type of action that can be classified as a crime.

No wonder what is the defense of their parents regarding this resort?

I don't know what comes to people nowadays,and these students seems not to know what is the consequences of their actions,yeah Young people with Good physical condition mostly survives this virus but what about their family members and friends?
Look at their stats,the recovery is too little compared to the infected it has not even meet a 1/4 survival to the active cases.

This is crazy, some people really have too much free time and they don't know how to spent it better, they come up with these crazy ideas that can ruin their health and life maybe.
I know about Slovenian roulette, we all know about Russian roulette, but few years ago I read about this new trend Slovenian roulette. What happens is that they make a big swinger party with all sexual orientations, but one of thm have Aids! They bet who will that be! Crazy what people do for fun!

I cannot imagine that there are people, especially young ones, that would do this. I mean, for what? For money or for fun? Gosh! Covid-19 is something very serious. It's the lives of people that are at stake here.

It would be better if they just placed their bets on a game, either online or offline, or anything that would not put other's lives and theirs in so much risk. I bet the pot money wouldn't be enough to pay for the hospital bills of the "winner" when he tests positive on the virus. Thus, he's not a winner at all. This is so not worth it!

This is very alarming these people should be charged they should know that this pandemic is not a joke so many people already dying this is a suicide, these people are ignorant and they might infect innocent people, this is one of the reasons why the United States has not flatten the curve and the infection will continue rising because so many people there are irresponsible.

@swogerino that’s precisely where they got the idea from, but what they failed to realise is that these movies are scripted, and no one should pull off such stunts after watching them on the big screen. @peter0425 what do you think that their parents will say besides being embarrassed, and shocked by their children’s actions. @samputin yea they did it for money and the thrill, and I feel that the authorities out there should have them counselled as they really need help to reform themselves.

Okay? This makes me somehow consider if I'm even of the same timeline, heck, even the same world as others. This is really making me question if these people even have brains, or at the least, actually using them. There are a lot of other ways to set up bets with each other, and even if you go for the worst example, it'd be the opposite of this. Specifically, bet money to see who recovers from the Covid -19. Ofc, some retards may infect themselves just for the bet, so for safety measures, create a starting date, and any infections after that is invalid.

Hell, I approve of protests against racism if we were compare it to this kind of event. Ofc, considering that both events have dangers, I would opt to choose both not to happen, but If I were to choose which one is better than the other? I'd opt for the one that's actually fighting for something.

What's even sadder is those that are at the party aren't cooperating. It's sad how those positive originally even dared to attend the parties to spread the virus. Like, are they treating it as a joke? Or do they truly believe that because they are young, they are able to survive and recover from the virus?

Wow this is just sad. With more than 10m infections world wide and more than 0.5m deaths how can people still joke about that? There must be harsh punishments for such selfish behaviours.  They are risking to spread the virus even further without caring for anybods else.
I mean even Texas is forcing people now to wear masks. How can you still be so reckless after 6 month.

I think all of them should be first tested for mental illness before COVID19. Only mentally unstable people will organize such parties and bet on it. I guess they never realized that they might die because of this virus. What will the person do with the loot if he is not able to live in this world?

All for the loot. It wouldn't be worth having the money while you are dead. It's sick.  If there is a lockdown in the city they would be able to attend the party I can only think there isn't that is why they could travel around.  And their parents also allowed them to go out despite the risk. Oh well its their lives, I doubt theres honor to whoever won.

This is so nonsense. Didn’t want to believe it but I’ve read the article and its true. I’m curious about what’s going on in their mind. Do they want to get the money so bad or are they just bored? Cause if they really want the pot money, I hope they do realize that they need more than that for the hospital bill. And don’t they have family members who are weak? Cause I’m not really scared of the virus because of me, I’m scared for my family who are really not that strong physically.

i thought it was some kind of a test or experiment to know if what age groups the covid can penetrate easily or which body condition as well because not just elders but some young people with a history of disease are also reported before that got infected by the said disease   .

 i see that the case for covid on this country is already high so experiment like this wouldnt make sense now because they can done it before when the infection is not yet huge  .

I guess I saw a headline  related to this yesterday and I thought they were arrested for organizing a party. Well, what can I say... They took a big risk and could be contributing to the spread of the disease. I wonder how they got the infected people to participate in this. Thought infected people should be in isolation.

They don't even think about their family could also be infected  with just fun they make about the virus.

Many countries now is worried for their economy Then there are people who will just make this things funny and bet for who will be infected first ,thats not funny idea I cant even think there are person like this in this world . If some one dies because of the spread of the virus people behind that  idea should be in jail .

A very strange and unusual method, which nevertheless takes place.
For me, all this would have seemed harmless if all the participants in the party were self-insulated in the same place for a month.

With their lives, they can do whatever they want, and besides, we all will have to get Covid.
However, after each such party, these idiots will probably come in contact with dozens and hundreds of other people, which is extremely socially irresponsible behavior.

LOL it so ironic that they threw party yet still seemed that it can be harmless with self-quarantine? They did it for a purpose (a selfish and stupid one). Hence they would just participate for money but rather a death wish. Even detaining yourself for a month wouldn't be useful, the virus would only kill you (dumb thing that they chose money and death)...


Please don't say such thing. They had chosen death, but not everyone. Please don't curse us saying "we all will have to get Covid.". Those Alabama students is evil, so please don't be like them lol.. But yes, after their said party, there would be another months to years of investigation and contact tracing required or just make a mandatory mass testing inside Alabama..

---

IMO, Alabama must be on hard-lockdown (or martial law if necessary). If they really want to end the pandemic in their region, better that they would implement strong ordinances and laws. Soon, it will only be a drastic yet unseen massacre.

Did they really gambled with life? Most devilish idea in history..

That's very immature of them. Everyone is afraid and being careful about the virus, yet they are making a contest who gets infected first for the sake of money. They are not only risking their lives, but they are also risking the lives of people around them. They do it for fun but it's not even funny at all since it is a serious matter. They are also not helping the government. Governments are having a hard time handling this pandemic but these students only see this for entertainment.

They have over 40k recorded cases yet are not even scared of what is happening in the world? I don't know what kind of mindset they have, but they should be responsible for this action they made. They are threatening the safety of the people there.

It is kind of amusing that there are some people who will do the stupidest amd craziest things in their entire life just to do things for money. But they should do such things because every human lives matter that they shouldn't put themselves in danger, that is why this COVID PARTY that they started should not be implemented.

This is really embarrassing for the US nation. I don't know what they are thinking in their head while other people who are victims of this pandemic are struggling for life. Doctors are doing their best to save as many people as they can and still, many can't survive. Betting to see who gets COVID19 first is ignorance and dumb. They should all go to jail or they will be the ones who spread the disease all along the US. Damn. This country is full of shitty characteristics

These stupid bets are some weird things we would do as youth. I too had made bets on events that could potentially be hurtful. I remember be and my friends making bets like "5 bucks you won't make that skateboard jump" or "if you manage to climb that fence without hurting yourself I'll let you kick me in the nuts".

But it's monumentally stupid to involve yourself in something that could actively hurt others. Especially in the time of a global pandemic where mostly old people and those with health issues are the most vulnerable. I'm glad this made the news. The case might even be prosecuted against the students, but at the very least they deserve the shame they're getting. Hopefully it'll act as a preventative to deter others from such actions too.

What kind of sick people would do such kind of dangerous gambling, i don't know if these is the effect of Covid lockdown or The School Administration has very poor way of disciplining and educating those Youths or is this those types of compulsive gamblers who will bet on anything as long as it will satisfy their craving to gamble.

This is should be considered as a serious matter that should be sanction legally.
It's intentional and though I don't know exactly what's the law in the Alabama on their approach on the pandemic but this move was certain an opposite of preventing from people getting infected with covid-19.

It's like they are already desperate and they want everyone who will be infected and more of this cases will lead to bigger problems the government has to face and solve, I don't know what's running into their mind but I guess the government has to impose bigger sanction on this kind of offense.

This is certainly a violation of the law, in some country, not follow the social distancing is already an offense.

Really crazy, it makes no sense what was done by a group of students in Alabama, some sources say this is indeed done, what they have run out of common sense, by inviting positive sufferers Covid-19, by throwing such parties and bets, it's really strange what happened in Alabama.

If they were aware of the Covid-19 problem, maybe they wouldn't do it. Alabama has the highest ranking right now that is suffering from a positive case of Covid-19, 985 deaths have been passed, Alabama has been made into hell by a group of students in the United States.
Hope students in my country don't follow like Alabama students, it's called creating hell above hell.

This kind of activities are violating country's laws on most of the places so this is just an underworld betting game and it should not be exists because risking their life to earn few dollars in these parties.

Students with no knowledge  :P

Please take necessary action before it gets out of control.

This is a violation of health protocols so I presume that they will get compensate on what they do since it's so dangerous not only for them but the whole people who lives close to them as well they add on the problem of their society, This should be taken seriously by their government to serve as warning to the other people challenge the danger of covid-19 as well betting over it is also illegal so best to file a multiple case so that they will learn a big lesson on their lives.

Jackass? It's a dumb thing to do, risking your life just for the money.

After you won through bets, it will go to your medical expenses 'cause you're now suffering from short-breathing and positive in COVID-19.

The worst part is, it will spread into your home and neighborhood that will put your whole community at risk. Also, they're violating the government's order like social distancing which should always be implemented to avoid contact in a person who has COVID.

That feels like a movie setting where there will be someone that will organize a party like that. For me, that's the most evil thing that I heard about this Covid-19 pandemic. For the sake of fun, you will risk the lives of your college friends and schoolmates with the use of money.

Covid-19 is never joke! people are very afraid to become infected and yet they are just playing along with it.

There are people who are really anxious about this virus and they are taking care of themselves not to be infected, but these college students just want to transmit Covid-19 to other people. That's not the proper use of "betting", these college students are intending to kill people!

That's not what "YOLO" means for the youth.

I actually lol'd at this the first time I saw this headline. I thought Man couldn't go any crazier, turns out I was wrong. I wonder why people are willing to go the extra mile to bet on something even if their life depends on it? Not only that but it can also harm other people around them if they are not careful. If they will do something rash, I wish that they do it on their own completely secluded from the rest of society. I don't even think that the money on the pot is enough to outweigh the risks involved in this type of thing. There is a high chance that these guys will have lungs that aren't 100% functional due to the pneumonia that comes with COVID-19, and it wouldn't be pretty for damn sure.

This is horrible, what's wrong with the world today? instead of helping everyone to combat this deadly virus, they found some way to entertain themselves with horrifying acts. these people, if they are really true to their motives, they need to be caught and sentenced to prison as soon as possible and also they need to send these guys to somewhere in the middle of the desert or to the worse prison in the world.

Who wins? I guess that is the desperate one.

But this is just horrible. If I wanted to some money, or badly and desperatepy needed it, I will be going out in purpose so that I will be contaminated by the virus to get the pot money. Another thing is that as far as I know medical personnels are making those people positive anonymous, so how will they prove that they are positive with the virus?

These students are still immature, they maybe on drugs that's why they are not thinking very well, they have education but it seems like they are not using what they learn in a good way, it's not the time to joke around and I think if they are just trippin, somebody has to tell them they are creating a serious crime here.

The article states that they are "student kids", does this mean they are in junior or senior high since that proves they are so immature to do this. Who's in the right mind to start this invites and make this a gambling session. This is just bad, this is so horrible. I feel so sorry for those parents worrying sick about their children now not knowing they get that in purpose.

Is it just me who feels that this is something that they should never be done? It feels like they are disregarding the virus just to start something they could bet their money. Or even some of them might wish that they are the one who gets covid19 first for the sake of receiving the pot. This is ridiculous.

I have also read the news about this on Twitter, this makes an uproar..  we cannot deny that out there are still many who consider this "Pandemic" is a conspiracy and so forth.  This makes many people concerned, as millions of people struggle to avoid this virus, some young people even make bets and consider this virus a joke..

This is nuts. These students are crazy, why would they do such thing? I guess they have taken more of those conspiracy theories that this covid19 virus shouldn't be taken seriously and just a hoax.
While most people of the world are dealing hardly with this virus to avoid, they are there, taking parties and inviting people and even gambling who would get it first. What the heck is happening in this world?!

It's good to question but we also needs to listen to others as we can't make every mistakes on our own to learn from.
This is all due to lack of motivation and a vision for the future. The kids these days want's to stand out but don't want to work for it. Everyone wants to be a hot dude/gal overnight. It's not the kids that are to blame. Our society has failed to give meaning to human life.

WTF i just read now?   :(


The problem, is that probability for them to die from virus is very low (young people), but they have relatives and most american (as an european) zoomers living with them in one house. This is real shit.

very creepy and totally insane way of gambling since a lot of people meanwhile could also get infected.  health is not a funny joke and all people should be aware of this. What happens if they infect some one with lower defenses/elderly people? it's like an omicide attempt!
the same news has been commented today in Italy by Prof. R. Burioni a famous professor of Virology based in Milano.

Can you imagine how completely stupid you need to be to participate in such a ridiculous competition?

Not only do most of the participants end up catching COVID19 and getting nothing in return, but they're actually probably putting themselves in dangerous situations just so they can catch the disease.

I can imagine these fools walking into a COVID19 ward and asking to be coughed on just to win the bet.

The stupidity of humans will never cease to disappoint me.

Man, for honest, this is pure sould of betting and all gambling. You really thought that noone will do such things? People killing their relatives to get money for dice or something like that. And it's obvious that they will easier infect themselves to get some "easy" money.


I doubt that they more stupid than people which trying to win on dice  ;D

Hi,
Great thoughts ever.
Ofcourse,
This is really not a good situation but there is a chance to create the fair one.
 
Thank you.

Well, we will never know. The possibility is still there even if it is low. And as you said, they are with their relatives. Because of this non-sense bet, the virus will spread faster than they have imagined. They should realize that this is not the time to make a bet like that.

They know what they are doing, they planned to host a party and invite people with covid-19. 

What scares me also is that there are still people who are willing to go in a party despite the fact that USA is leading with the number of cases, and in Alabama alone, there's over 40K cases although they have a very good recovery rate as over 20k also has recovered.

Seems not a good idea or should I say not a good thing to bet to. And what are you going to do if you win the game celebrate? because your friend already had COVID-19 lol. The COVID-19 virus is really not a joke and gambling or betting for money is not a good idea especially with this kind of bet. Might be a good game if they are going to make the bet opposite, whoever gets the COVID19 last wins so that they are all going to be careful. You never know who is going to infected if you already have the virus it could be your family or friends so don't make it a joke a lot of people die already.

ha haha  ;D. if you take it just as a funny thing. then it was really great. due to coronavirus their cities are locked down. Now they haven't any work to do.  so, they did this, for them it’s just a thriller game  :P. but as a conscious human being, we can say, "what a stupid thing is this!"  we know that coronavirus spreads geometrically, and if one of them is infected by coronavirus, they can spread it to others.  we should not do promote this type of stupidity.  and I think they need mental treatment.

It is unbelievable how some minds work and the wide lack of responsability and awareness that affects some of us...
Playing around with stuff like this virus is simply dumb and these guys should be seriously punished as they are also indirectly endangering the lives of other people in all of their households... people always tend to think that the worse will not happen to them... well....

Well, this is not a joke for me or have to bet and risk your life for the goal of the total money pot. What if all of them will be got the virus without knowing others because this virus may also an infected is asymptomatic which hard to determine a carrier of the virus. They are all insane, no one likes to get a virus. I don't know if their lives willing to waste for the pot money you have said but your life is in danger, --I would not risk my life just for the money.
It is a completely stupid thing, I don't know to happen to this kind of people.

Heard about this and I laughed. People never fail to amaze us. There are more stupid and crazy people out there than you can imagine. You don't know to what extent people can be dumb. They aren't just risking themselves, but everyone around them. And how would they know who was the first to get the virus? Even if you are affected by the virus, you won't show the symptoms right away. Again, some are also asymptomatic. This again proves, they all are dumb.

This kind of insane thinking will not only harmed those people who voluntarily participates but also those people that surrounds them, this kind of thinking is really unfair, just for the sake of money they'll risking not only their lives but also those who will going to interact with them, it's open that this pandemic virus is quickly be transmitted and vaccine still not available.

Those students who participated should be lock down to prevent further damages infecting more people.

Man, this is not "low" probability. As i remember, around 60-65 % of young italians (means under 35 years old) living with their older relatives, like parents and grandparents. Maybe this one of few reasons why there was so big pandemia in Italy. And through american students situation the same (they living with their parents and others). So, such "betting" can be turned to much worse things.


Because of such new i sometimes think that gambling this is pure evil, the same as drugs. People doing very idiotic things

You would really have that question in mind on how in the hell they dont care about their health situation and just minding of to take the loot.

Even if the pot is too big then its still really nonsense why people do strive out to be infected just because of that.At first i didnt tend to believe

such headline but there are indeed people who are crazy enough to do foolish things like this one. Money over their lives? They wouldnt know

that they would die just because for some small amount of the pot.

I agree with you but you shouldn't forget that gambling is an addiction and a disease, gamblers aren't gaming only for money but also for their fix

Then again, people do participate in clinical trials with the risk of potentially ruining themselves. Most of the time, these clinical trials pay out in the order of $5,000+ though—I'm sure these college idiots aren't getting anywhere near that amount even if they win the entire pot.

It's probably more for the daring aspect of it, the same way people climb gigantic skyscrapers and tall structures just for the rush of doing it.

Still dumb af.

This doesn't really have anything to do with gambling. They probably were "betting" for shits and giggles. Not like they were trying to make any real money nor were the bets probably serious in nature. Just a bunch of stupid teenage kids not thinking about their actions.

Typical scenario for those bunch of kids who don't care much about their actions.
For them, it is a source of entertainment, nothing serious about it.
But when the situation becomes serious, like people will really get infected, they will not accept their responsibility.
But yes, this has nothing to do with gambling.

I can say that theres still gambling to this because you do risk your own life just for you to get that money pot.This might not literally shows of on typical gambling we know but it shows that they are
risking out something for something in return.Its totally a dumb action of these kids and they do take so easily this virus and when indeed situation becomes more worst then thats the time
on where regrets would pop out everywhere.They arent risking their own lives but also to people whose around them.They should be at least responsible into their actions.They shouldnt really
make steps just for money or out of curiosity or interest if you do know that this is a health issue.

What college students in Alabama are doing bet money for the suffering of others is really a scary act, someone like that
it must be disturbed psychiatric. Because betting using COVID19 victims is really too much. Hopefully the parents these
students can advise him, so as not to do bad deeds like that.

Nothing to get crazy but this is absolutely insane.
I don't know what it is in their mind or something they just put themselves funny and being hopeless to the current situation? Though I was desperate for this but not actually gives me a reason to think about it. Who would like to participate?

I supposed to think about betting whos that the last person getting infected.  :D
Of course, I'll bet my self on it.

Yes maybe they have psychological issue or maybe being influenced by one another,

This is really disturbing because covid19 is a serious issue. The whole world is suffering because of this pandemic but they just like take it easy and even bet of whoever is gonna get the virus first.

Outbreaks of the virus make a person depressed and mentally ill They tend to be a lot scarier Betting is great but the advice of his family and friends is more effective for him to overcome this mental problem. He has to understand The epidemic is having a more serious effect as the days go by However it may be better to bet on COVID19.

if it does make the person scarier then why he will do such things like that . i dont think he is scared but it looks like he got more bravier to do crazy things .  covid impact isnt like that but the person could already have a history of mental illness   .

 family advice is more effective than friends advice but his family may want him to bring to a real hospital for this kind of conditions so that he can be treated properly before the situation got worst  . 

This is an unbelievable kind of thing that foolishness can do to humans.

This is probably one of the most absurd betting I have ever heard.

These college students are taking fun out of bounds. Sometimes students are getting too adventurous in their activities to the point of putting the lives of others in danger. They should be held liable for this stupidity.

This is right down disturbing. Damn, this isn't something a sane man would do  :'(.

Something needs to be checked. From the college students, and up to those people who could wander around while still being positive with the virus. And heck, why are they being allowed to go outside in the first place? This is the biggest problem with a liberated country.

I felt bad for the innocent people who would/might get in contact with these reckless guys. And while front liners are working eagerly to find a cure, and here these dumbhead guys thinking, betting on who would get the virus first is a fun thing  :-\.

I think that university students deserve to get in jail because they use Covid-19 as a funny thing among them. That is not a thing that comes from the "almost" adult people, and they don't have the right to play with the virus. It's about human lives, and that is insane. They think that human life can be used to play for gambling. I hope they can realize and regret what they did was wrong, especially they are from a university student who has more knowledge than the other people out there. Perhaps, that university needs to check student psychology because that is not a good thing to do by them.

People had gone overboard on having fun, looking for the thrill of things to bet on. Organizing a party amidst the pandemic and risking lives for the sake of fun and thrill is absurd. It's not just them who are at risk of getting the virus, just imagine how fast the virus would spread because of what they have done. Some people are not taking the virus and pandemic seriously.

I never imagined such a thing could happen in real life. It's thrilling and fun to see this in movies or animation, but this is too much if you are speaking of real-life events.

These students need professional help and should be held liable for their action.

how are they? they become an impromptu famous...
making this virus a joke is tantamount to insulting the struggle of health workers who have died because corona, their country must put them in a place together with corona patients so that they are aware of their stupidity.

This kind of students are the one who's not really need to be in school because they are learning nothing from their Primary to secondary until college and they must be staying inside their House as grounded until they learn  lessons.

I once becomes a student but never that i let risk things enters my circulation.

And i always try to Make my parents proud about my school activities and i am successful until graduated college.

Just when you think you have seen it all something like this happens, to be honest it did not occur to me that this kind of behaviour was even possible, this is incredibly irresponsible, it seems those students do not understand that even if they are not at the greatest risk of dying what they are doing is basically the equivalent of playing Russian Roulette with their lives just to win a bet, there are several countries in which if you are infected with the coronavirus and you go out of your home and get someone else sick you could face jail time, are they really that dense they do not understand the danger they are putting themselves in and others by this reckless behaviour?

Yeah, that could be a crime to humanity and the organizers should be brought to book for questioning. Human lives shouldn't be taking as just nothing before humans, they have the responsibility to keep their life safe from the pandemic ravaging the whole wideworld. Human lives should not be gamble with, the government of Alabama should stand against this act which is a crime to humanity. Other countries are trying harder to keep their covid-19 patients minimal why Alabama's are looking for more contacts to Covid-19, this is uncalled for, the government of Alabama should stand against this act.

They are famous indeed and they are really making fun with people who are risking lives to help saving others, those people
front-liners are sacrificing and this students are playing with them.

I like your idea, placing this students inside the room where those infected people that are suffering
to this pandemic virus so they can assess what are waiting to them.It's a serious matter that this students
needs to understand, and be sensitives from how they are acting.

I feel like strangling those kids, because this virus is no joke. How many of their vulnerable family members and friends got this virus through their actions and how many innocent people died because of their stupid actions?

My friends wife is working 12 hour shifts at the Pathology lab every day and are completely burnt out, because they get over 1000 swaps a day and these people have time for "Covid parties"  >:( >:( >:(

There are a lot of other things they can bet on, but playing with fire will get you burnt.  >:( >:( >:(

These are the people who do not care about their lives and they do not have any purpose of life. When the whole world is trying to protect themselves from covid19, they want to get money and for that they don't care if they get corona.  :(  
Where are the teachers and parents of such children. They are equally responsible for these thoughts and unsafe acts of their kids.

If their parents were just aware of the party, they'd not be allowing their kids to drive there.

Kids usually do stupid things, it made them look cool to belong to a group who did something crazy like this Covid party. They don't realize yet how dangerous it is when infected. Its really necessary to make these students watch the news as well for them to be aware of how serious the number of deaths.

I'm still interested to know how much the pot is?

Well, youth is often lacking comon sense and brain so.I'm not surprised. But the very sad and disappointing thing is that they everything see as fun, including this virus and that health is something they can gamble with. Probably there was something wrong how they were brought up and what values they got in their families.
You just don't gamblie with yours or other people's health and lives
