About 300 teens were exposed to Covid-19 at a"pong fest" party in Lakeway, Texas, on June 20, local officials say.

But at least you have your liberty right?

And they will be just fine.

But still not a single one from the protests/riots huh? Amazing how that works.

so what

They should have said black lives matter. I hear that's the only vaccine.

So no other teens or young adults party in other states? What about the almost 2000 people that have died in New Jersey from COVID recently and they are banning travel from other states

Well never saw that coming did we , oh please we need to get out I’m sick of this lock down

Fine them. When recovered get them on a chain hand during summer break. It’s the young one’s who are going to kill the Middle Agers and Older One’s. Attitude stinks

Wear a mask and you won't be effected by them.

I think it's pretty obvious at this point most of us will get it no matter what. Unless we resolve to living in a bunker for the next decade or until a good vaccine comes along, we will get it because Americans are failures at restraining disease. Weakest country on Earth

Csandoval17 para que le digas a tu amiga que siga yendo a fiestas

And watch all 300 recover fully or never even know they had it.

Unfortunately, none are eligible for care if they surrender to law enforcement. Our sincere prayers go out to both the troubled teens and their families.

Thoughts...

China poisoned the planet

Pong Flu?

Liberals or Trump supporters? Come on now CNN, you know you can make better headlines. It's your forte to divide and conquer

Corrupt CNN refuses to cover stories about mass infection resulting from protests and riots.
