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

[DarkDays]

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Probably they would be educated guys and still doing such things really scares everyone and hope so someone enlighten them and they became extra precautions and going forward will be extra careful with such things. We hope no one dies of this virus and if tested positive recovers soon and become fit like before.

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.

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.

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  . 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  . 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.

[dentolas]

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

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.

The stupidity of humans will never cease to disappoint me.

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.

[Gyfts]

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.

[Shasha80]

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.

[Hypnosis00]

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.  
Of course, I'll bet my self on it.
