Tuscaloosa City Councilor Sonya McKinstry said students hosted the parties to intentionally infect each other with the newMcKinstry said party organizers purposely invited guests who tested positive for COVID-19. She said the students put money in a pot and whoever got COVID first would get the cash.Tuscaloosa Fire Chief Randy Smith confirmed the incidents to the City Council on Tuesday.
“Not only do the doctors’ offices confirm it but the state confirmed they also had the same information,” Smith said. Smith did not say whether actions would be taken against the students. He also did not say which schools the students attend.Tuscaloosa City Council membersFor most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and those with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness and even be fatal.
Waiting for the retraction...
THIS IS A FALSE RUMOR. COMPLETELY UNTRUE.
Fake. News.
There’s absolutely no hard evidence that “any” of these purported COVID-19 parties ever occurred. None. Anywhere. The Media treating rumor as ‘news’ is another story.
Old news. The governors of NY, PA and NJ threw coronavirus parties is nursing homes
FAKE NEWS. Do some actual investigative reporting instead of just reposting garbage gossip! You are supposed to be journalists. Start acting like it.
It’s Alafuckingbama
Are colleges in session?
This one didn’t age well
Tabloids just love these kinds of stories with no verification, officials say.
1. This wouldn’t shock me 2. How does the AP release this story without any proof or witnesses? 🤷🏻♂️
AlfonsoAGP sabribacal amalianicolau Este es el link a esta noticia del Associated Press (AP). Saludos
What an evil world we live in.
I’m guessing something more cynical, leftist Universities helping the murderous governors bring COVID numbers up ! 1. Democrat Governors - spread at NursingHomeSlaughter 2. Now Democratic universities PROMOTING THIS FOR SURE!
Roll Tide
mranti ALABAMA THUNDER PUSSY!!!!
You know what? We don’t need to find aliens on another planets, america has produced all the aliens.
Sweeeet!
At least they made it to college before becoming that stupid.
Hospitals should organize parties too, see who can keep the most of these morons from getting treatment.
And this is the problem with our country
Ah, the STUPIDITY OF YOUTH. The winner will receive a minimum of a 2 week stay at a HOSPITAL near home with no allowed VISITS from friends and family. HURRY
I believe it! Young folks (white kids) are stupid... if they can have Tide Pod challenge... why not have a COVID Challenge?
Nice... congrats to whoever got it :D
This is beyond stupid... and these are college students.
Idiocy knows no bounds.
Stupid is as stupid does
Darwinism?
So now that you know who they are, be sure their families foot any and all medical bills.
And you wonder why college professors are worried about being in back in the classroom
Literrated but not educated.
“Blood and destruction, shall be so in use, and dreadful objects be so familiar, that mothers shall but smile as they behold, their infants quater’d with the hands of war, all pity chok’d with custom of fell deeds.” Eyes wide open, you’ll lose your context in the era “you” c b4u.
And those are the brights kids there?
Bencjacobs Isn't this what Trump and Republicans did in Tulsa 12 days ago?
DavidEggert00 Chicken pox parties anyone? Those under 40, without underlying conditions, should do that. Get the virus, isolate, and be done with it
Is Novak Djokovic in Alabama? Please check that
The tide pods kids have grown up I see
Calling BS on this story. Lole many stories reported by CNN
DavidEggert00 The children of Karen's, ladies and gentlemen.
Every one who participate in these party should (1) do community service in COVID wards (2) pay the FULL cost of treatment if they get sick (3) be charged with attempt to commit involuntary manslaughter COVIDIOTS
'Officials said.' Any actual students?
Wish we could vote out states
Kind of like the rioting, but with beer.
There should be serious consequences to this and I’m not just talking about catching Covid. They should be fined at least. This is public endangerment.
Classic American
I was also young and stupid once :).
They should be kick out of college. Yes college it's a time to party but it's also a place for higher level of judgment, reasoning...which clearly they don't have
Welcome to the future leaders of America
Did any even need to see a doctor for it? I’m asking for the high percentage who don’t even require a doctor visit to recover.
So it's true what they say about U of Alabama...
Americans, enough said
That happened
Why is America like this? honest question. You don’t hear about anything like this happening anywhere else in the world...
they will all need to be tested to see who the winner is because not many will even show symptoms.
Derp
And people in the South wonder why the rest of the nation thinks that they’re morons
EdenCheckol Sounds like the Dixie thing to do.
Can't spend the money if you're dead. Maybe it can go to your final expenses? That way, your parents can at least recover some of the money they wasted sending your dumbasses to school.
mranti Kids need to learn the lessons
And yelled “Roll Tide” the whole time.
Haha. The same students protesting I'm guessing.
Roll tide
Well, these are the same people who thought it would be fun to eat Tide pods.
And this is why the intelligent, science-based countries have barred US citizens from polluting their populations.
Darwin Award winners for sure
Who's going to pay for their care? Right!!!, The taxpayer that uses the mask and follow scientist directives. Trace them and call their parents and make them responsible for the cost.. numbers then will slowly go down
All participants should be expelled. Schools/colleges need to send a message that this is no joke.
That's awesome. It's kinda like the chicken pox parties Parents used to have.
Wow, I bet all the credulous people who fell for satanic panic will fall for this too. Citing a couple of officials who refuse to put out an statement without doing anything resembling investigative journalism is wildly irresponsible.
Hey just say it was a protest and everything will be fine with the MSM
Stupid is as stupid does Lt. Dan
'murica...fuck yea
Heard immunity
I mean they fuck between relatives there what were you expecting 😂
This is the most MAGA thing I've read so far today.
Can’t fix stupid
Not the brightest students,whatever college they go to might want to rethink their curriculum. If they want it that bad why not make themselves useful...go work on covid ward or volunteer for a vaccine trial.
next level dumbasses
How dumb could you be?
Waiting for Floriduh to say “hold my beer”!
A whole new level of stupid. But, then again, it is Alabama.
Well. How did the experiment go?
Future flunkys.
Dead last in terms of education and healthcare and determined to stay there. Congrats!
This is exactly why sometimes a government body needs to step in a enforce certain guidelines. People are too stupid to figure things out for themselves.
You could have called our city by its name.
What the hell is wrong is wrong with people? Go volunteer a COVID unit and then tell me about parties! 🤬
‘College students’
AL reaching galaxy level mind.
So they threw a Darwinism party! If you show up...you lose
These kids should go back to eating Tide pods. At least then they would only be putting themselves at risk!!
Hopefully none of them venture out and inadvertently kill memaw or mimi or dedaw or papaw or whatever the hell they call their grandparents. Ignorant, arrogant, unempathetic - this is the MAGA way!
So proud of these intelligent College students. The best and the brightest. We have failed, as a nation.
Come on...it’s Alabama...no one in the state is educated...let alone has a full set of teeth...what’d ya expect?
I remember having to pass a test to get into kindergarten. Are colleges just accepting whatever failed abortions that come their way now? Money must be tight.
If my sons grow up to be this stupid or succeptable to peer pressure, I will be so ashamed of myself.
The illusion of the smart American is finally shattering.
Imbeciles...
COVIDIOTS
Alabama...Nuff said
School of the gifted
Alabama says it all
All children of conservatives I bet.
Wouldn't someone at the party have to have it already to catch it?
You can’t fix stupid
Alabama: We put the ‘dumb’ in dumbster fire.
It must be a poor mixture of environment and a lack of a prefrontal cortex development 🙄
Very curious what, exactly, they were doing at these parties. Coughing and sneezing, obviously. But what else?
Herd immunity!
They’re all winners.
Ran out of Tide Pods?
You know what? Whole the world is watching this and wondering how stupid Americans can be. American parents are not doing their job to raise kids in a decent manner. Shame goes to parents.
Their parents should get their money back from the schools.
Hell yeh brother. Let Darwin do it’s thing!!
I would have done this.
Where's smallpox when you could really use it?
The article says it doesn't know if actions will be taken against the students. Huh? Honestly, the 'peaceful protests' are basically coronavirus parties but no one will admit this! Let's charge the students, though!
Big brains
You just can’t fix stupid
They shouldn’t be allowed to be treated if they wanted to get it.
“Protestors” looted stores with no masks nationwide
All cool kids want covid!
So glad we pay money to send our kids to college to get 'smarter.'
Getting sick to own the libs, classic!
Roll fuckin tide
Lol
Blithering eedjits.
Thin the herd
Because . . . alabama
So, it’s called herd immunity, young folks are the least at risk than older folks. Let them build immunity
First prize wins the Darwin Award..
Darwinism at it’s finest!
TeamCovid
Also Democrats organized mass riots and looting which spread the virus like wildfire. Your hypocrisy is staggering
Alabama population control ?
I can’t find anything witty to say
