The football coach runs the state, no lie. It's not even a secret. His players are untouchable by the law.

Is this true? This sounds like the made up “rainbow parties” of the late 90s

There's no evidence that it actually happened.

An interesting thing about this article: they were unable to find any actual proof of it happening, just that the officials said it did.

This needs more upvotes. No college student was interviewed, no proof collected, just writing down whatever the police chief said

Back before there was a vaccine ppl had pox parties so their kids could get it and get over it. In 09 ppl had flu parties. History repeated

The chicken pox parties were a way different thing than throwing these once in a lifetime virus parties. Having the chicken pox later in

Life becomes worse, so parents wanted their children to have them when they were younger so the symptoms were milder. It wasn't something

You could avoid before the vaccine, you'd catch it eventually.

Right, just all the innocent people these clowns pass it on to.

But surviving with scarred lungs and having to wear monitors for the rest of your life for oxygen levels is really going to fuck with em.

Permanent organ / lung damage and killing your parents sounds like a fair trade to win a stupid game. Insurance should NOT cover the morons.
syntheticgod8
To be fair, it leaves scar tissue behind so even if you recovered you might still end up with lifelong respiratory issues.

I had it. Didn't do shit to me. Apparently getting it and getting sick from it are two different things.

If hospitals could refuse people treatment because of people’s dumb decisions, they would

I agree but the problem is that they fuckin will go and infect others like right now. Honestly criminalize this shit.

Well it seems to be the US so.. already refused unless they are millionaires?
Bukkhockey
70%+ have health insurance and they're not all millionaires.
DarkwingDuc
Maybe not millionaires, but 100% these are well-off kids on parents' insurance. They'll get treatment. Others they spread it to may not.
StuckInBetweeen
The US doesn't refuse treatment. You just get hit by a bill afterwards. Sometimes they treat you even if unconscious then charge you.
TheIrishman35
Even then you go to the collections department and tell them your an out of pocket payer and your bill will drop Significantly. They will
TheIrishman35
Even ask you how much you can afford.

No doctors have to treat you, you just won't be able to pay the bill

And then you can go live under a bridge?

I would say the humanities are for sure, and they tend to be the loudest people so it seems like it. But they aren't in reality.

If mask compliance was limited to political affiliation, we'd be seeing 40-50% of people wearing masks where it's not mandated.

Weird how you decided a post about a virus somehow was talking about political views

I wanted to upset a specific user and they took my bait. The rest of you idiots who got mad about this are just desserts :)
pseudopseudonym
Most of those people either never went to college, or attended decades ago and convinced themselves everything changed later, seems to me.
pseudopseudonym
Or they're just conflating 'you might actually hear someone voice far-left views openly' with 'everything is controlled by the far-left.'
PiggyWobbles
or they have no other way to argue "the problem is black people/gay people/foreigners" when actual academics dispute it

I mean, it's probably because I was in a business major, but the only openly political professor I had was right-libertarian.

Yeah, my experience was mostly in the arts/humanity credits. I did have what might have been a liberal professor? But it really wasn't any(1

Whatever money they won won't be a drop in the pond compared to what they'll get charged for medical treatment in the U.S.
heathenhumanist
Fortunately my insurance covers all Covid testing and treatment. I still don't want to catch it, though.
heathenhumanist
For in-network treatment, that is. Out of network is hardly covered because my insurance isn't that great. Just good Covid-wise.
culinarydream7224
Also won't cover a y lingering after effects as a result of COVID. Lung damage, etc

Ugh, you're probably right

You don't think an insurance company would use intentionally catching the virus as a reason to null and void coverage?
Counterfit
They could be on a school plan
CakeClub
Not necessarily, I went to college and my parents rarely had the money for health insurance for themselves or their kids.

The college kids of those parents might not be going to covid parties.

Truth
MisterBin7
Really depends. Not all Americans have to pay a million dollars for getting sick. Just had a really complicated birth lasting 5 days in 1/2
MisterBin7
...the hospital and our balance after insurance ended up being ~$1,000. Ask someone else and they'll say it cost one million or some crap
imminentloudness
In civilised countries that's all already paid for.
isolateredux
Ask someone else in any other developed nation and they'd be surprised at an over the top bill of 1k
KarenFromBehind
Yeah it cost me ~$200 for a C-section and 5 days in the hospital.
HankeringForASpankering
And how much is your monthly insurance premium?
KarenFromBehind
No premium. My husband is military.
onthe6ball
at their age, it will probably be an uncomfortable 2 or 3 days. if that.
RatchetnClank
They can still die, or get life long damage, oh and you know transmit it to other people.
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
How many others will they infect in the mean time?
Shawnthegirl
Yeah, but with possible permanent lung damage or maybe one of them gets a bad case. Not worth it.
METR0ID
lol, say that those that died. People still die regardless of age. Smaller chance, sure, but they're not immune.
JHawke
Considering the money I'd wouldn't assume they didn't know that. Not really a strange thing for desperate people to bet on survival.
loma45
He said "probably", which is statistically correct for those in their age range. The exceptions are serious though
NotABadLookingNarcissist
Statistically correct doesn’t make covid parties anything but a terrible idea. Those unknowingly infected people will spread it to others 1/
NotABadLookingNarcissist
2/ and people will die from this somewhere down the line...statistically
loma45
Of course. I didn't say they were (neither did GP). He said they wouldn't face medical bills because they'll likely be fine, which is true
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
Or you know, could be permanent lung damage. We've got no idea what the last ng term effect might be at this point.
NakedGalaxy
I had it back in March & I still wheeze & get out of breath & tired from small tasks. I wasn't like that before. I'm still pretty young, too
That0neguy727

Agreed. Anecdotally, my cousin got Covid early on, never had to be hospitalized. He did an Ironman last December, now can't walk his dog.

Reality check. What's the mortality of anyone <28? You might be surprised.

That's kind of thinking is pretty much the problem. Just because you prob won't die, others might

Um, you're not part of the "we" anymore. The new version is not about *slowing* the spread, which would require continued spread.
