People Are Trying To Catch Coronavirus At ‘Covid Parties’ To Win Money
This sounds like a joke, but it’s not: people are attending parties specifically to contract the coronavirus and win money.
‘COVID Parties” have been reported in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and here’s how it works: people pay money for a ticket to the party, where at least one person in attendance has tested positive for COVID-19.
All of the money goes into a “jackpot,” and the first person from the party to test positive for the virus wins all of the money.
So-called “COVID Parties” have been reported since May, and the Seattle Times reports that some areas are charging participants with a misdemeanor if they’re caught deliberately trying to spread the virus.
