Some young people in Alabama are throwing COVID-19 parties, a disturbing competition where people who have coronavirus attend and the first person to get infected receives a payout, local officials said.

attend and the first person to get infected receives a payout, local officials said.

During a presentation to the City Council this week, Fire Chief Randy Smith also said young people in the city are throwing parties with a payout if they catch coronavirus, McKinstry said. "It makes me furious," McKinstry said. "Furious to the fact that something that is so serious and deadly is being taken for granted. Not only is it irresponsible, but you could contract the virus and take it home to your parents or grandparents."

Then they should NOT receive any medical help... Let them die...

Too much religion, too little education. Great example of why we need real progressive political parties and not ones stuck in the past. How did Americans become so self-absorbed compared to other countries?

Lessons learned from 1918, 1st wave bad , 2nd wave came , even deadlier. They thought it was just a regular flu,NotAGame . Ppl in Alabama, why such irresponsible disregard for other human life? COVID roulette, a tragic risk for all .

Brain dead. The first person infected is their parent or grandparent.

Ontario still has a higher death rate due to covid than Alabama, although you’d never know that just following the garbage presented by Canadian news networks. Pretentiousness hurts the brain far more than anything going on in Alabama.

What is wrong with people!! This is unbelievable!!😠

They should be charged as 1 degree murder

COVIDIOTS

Ok but come on its Alabama one less mongaloid on the porch playing a banjo.

Why oh why?

Ship them all to Alcatraz or some other island and when they’re seriously sick, let them figure it out on their own.

The tide pods are finally paying off

How about 20 years in jail That’s close to manslaughter caronavirusparties

Keep our CANADIAN BORDERS CLOSED TO THE UNITED STATES. WE PROTECT OUR OWN NOT CAUSE MORE INFECTIONS FROM NOT CARING BUT LISTENING TO THE PROFESSIONALS!

Gives a whole new meaning to 'Alabama Hot Pocket'

I think this is completely made up.

Darwinism. This will sort itself out in short order.

Sickening! And if they have life insurance, I hope when they die it doesn’t pay out!

Have fun with that!

Bright bunch!

Special kind of stupid.

JoelHeyman In this episode of the Darwin Awards:

Trump needs them for the election

What can you even say to that?

R.I.P. 😢

COVIDIOTS

Alabama...

HOWDY YA’LL, let’s go down there to them parts and get us some corona, Alabama’s finest! Fucking Hillbillies

That's right up there with eating tide pods. Stupid is as stupid does! 🤬

Its sweet home covidiots.

Russan roulette.

As if family reunions weren’t awkward enough down there.

Holy crap.....are these ppl nuts or what?

CLOSE THE BORDER!!!!!!

You can’t fix stupid. Another version of Russian roulette sounds like.

Reason 712775 not to go to the USA.

And the world was united in disgust.

It only shows that their parents have failed to raise them with some morals, values and respect. Too bad America

Elite Stupidity.

O.M.G!

JoelHeyman That’s one way to reach herd immunity.

Darwin Award winners....

Please please please keep the borders CLOSED!

Did nobody talk to party planners or attendees? Just another one sided article. Also the Canadians upset what others are doing in Alabama is odd. I would have liked to know the details not an opinion. More junk reporting.

Those infected who attend should be arrested. The rest should be on forced quarantine. Morons.

Irresponsible, selfish, childish.

Lucifer's children at play ....CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT...

Alabama... Forrest Gump country.

Wow!

OMG.....they have completely lost their minds and sence of reality.......this really boggles the mind...😭😭❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

NoGunsInCanada

NoGunsInCanada Can we go back to Tide Pods now please? I much preferred that version of dystopia.

History repeating. In 1918 it was influenza parties. Google the character “Senorita Influenza”, it was a thing

Darwin must be stepping in.

Lol

I wonder if insurers can deny coverage if you do that.

STUPID and SAD

Well they do have the highest infection and death rates of covid for a reason.

‘America. Wow.

Congratulations 🇺🇸 our borders will remain closed 🇨🇦

Unbelievable !? This is a joke of the day Are those people normal

They should be denied heath care then.

And people in Alabama marry their kinfolk, so ........

At this point Canada should be doing these things: 1. Close the border for the rest of the year. 2. Close the Alaska loophole. 3. Goods & services inspections increased but allowed to flow. Some people down there are a danger to themselves and now a danger to the rest of us.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

They think it’s no worse than the Flu

The Canadians in Halifax:

Hill folk

Saskatchewan spent millions getting west Virginians to come and talk about their Ed system! What a joke!

Darwin meets Las Vegas!

Remember when we used to have chicken pox parties where we purposefully infected children? It’s better to get the virus when it poses no risk to you. We should’ve protected our vulnerable from day 1 and let the rest of us get it

Brilliant!

I really hope this isn’t true, but I would not be surprised if it is.

👀

Proof positive of the need to thin the herd

I have definitely seen young people ngaf about this whole thing, but this one seems a little strange. I'll wait for confirmation from officials.

Stupid . world shuts down.500 000 people died. Playing a lottery. Idiots

Good. They should have more parties. ALL the parties.

There's a reason Trump was elected. A lot of low IQ people in the US.....I mean a lot!!

Wait... does getting your cousin infected count? First cousin.... or? Asking for a friend.

Can't fix stupid

Lot of stupid people in Alabama.

I think you said it all when, in the first few words, you attributed this all to CNN. A network that definitely does not have a great reputation for getting it right. I’m going to file this one under ‘most likely BS’.

Beats the older sport of ' how close can I get my finger to the fan blade' ! No loss of blood with the COVID -19 party. What a bunch of knucklehead.

At least they’re keeping it in the family.

Well it must be a good thing when our news is all about the US Their craziness is watched all over the world.

Breaking: Alabama outAlabamas Alabama

The location explains it all.

They should be charged with attempted murder. They are the types of people that will go out if they get infected to infect others for fun

This is Alabama we’re talking about so there should be no surprise there.
