Some college students in Alabama bet money to see who gets COVID19 first

[verita1]

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.

[iv4n]

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!

[samputin]

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.

[Wexnident]

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.

"It's nonsense," McKinstry added. "But I think when you're dealing with the mind frame of people who are intentionally doing stuff like that and they're spreading it intentionally, how can you truly fight something that people are constantly trying to promote?"

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.

[pakhitheboss]

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?

[cabron]

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.

[shoreno]

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  .

[Ucy]

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 .

[spike420211]

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..

[plvbob0070]

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.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

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.
