Corona - what does help you? Your fears, thoughts, everything

We just had a bulletin on the news about a cluster of Covid-19 cases in NY.
Apparently someone had a house party on June 17th in the West Nyack area. The host had Covid-19 and was symptomatic, and had the party anyway, and now 8 guests have tested positive for the virus, and there is another test pending.
The eight partygoers were not cooperating with tracers seeking to reach out to anyone they had come in contact with, and face $2,000-a-day fines and subpoenas compelling them to cooperate. all those that have been tested are in their early 20s.

It's enough to make even Simon Cowell cringe in frustration!
Kidding, but that sounds awful. The host had symptoms and held a party anyway? What is wrong with people?

I realized yesterday that if I believed in a God who micromanaged human affairs to punish people or teach them lessons, I would suspect this is related to that time Donald Trump called other places "shithole countries."
Now we're the shithole country.
Not that we weren't going in that direction even at the time, what with higher infant mortality rate and other undesirable statistics relative to other developed countries.
But now it's so, so much worse.
I read about kids in Alabama who hold "COVID parties" where they TRY to get it. I can see why people elsewhere think Americans are idiots. Many of us are! (Present company excepted, of course. :))

Alabama college students are throwing 'COVID parties' where they invite infected people and gamble on who gets sick first, officials say
(Ashley Collman) 1 day ago
College students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, have been throwing parties where they invite people infected with the coronavirus and gamble on who comes down with the illness first, city officials said.
Tuscaloosa City Councilor Sonya McKinstry told ABC News about the practice on Wednesday. Tuscaloosa Fire Chief Randy Smith first reported the parties at a pre-council meeting on Tuesday, according to WBMA.
Smith said the fire service had received reports of students throwing parties and inviting "known positives," but thought it was "a rumor at first."
