Reminds me of this Vincent Price movie.

They whiled away the week on a sex- and drug-fueled romp: dancing on white-sand beaches and frolicking on a paradisaical Caribbean island with prostitutes from Europe, some snapping selfies with famous reggaeton artists.
But unbeknownst to several children of Venezuela’s ruling elite, the coronavirus was spreading among them.
For some of Venezuela’s high-flying “Bolichicos” — the privileged offspring of the socialist revolution — the party hasn’t stopped amid a widening pandemic in a country already gripped by crisis.
To date, the virus has claimed only seven confirmed fatalities in Venezuela. But the potential is high for the pandemic to overwhelm an already crippled health system, where hospitals lack water, electricity and supplies. […]
In a nation plagued by misery, Los Roques is an oasis for the few who can afford it, including aides and relatives of top officials who travel by private plane to the band of tiny islands. Parties in the cluster of tiny islands have become more popular, with Miami, Madrid and New York out of reach after U.S. sanctions cut off access to foreign bank accounts and easy travel. Among them are Maduro’s sons, according to the two people, although none attended the latest gathering. …

Does Bernie, Sean Penn and Danny Glover know about this????
“To date, the virus has claimed only seven confirmed fatalities in Venezuela. But the potential is high for the pandemic to overwhelm an already crippled health system, where hospitals lack water, electricity and supplies.”
Nothing is stopping our elites either...Blasio, Chicago mayor, RGB. The list is probably quite distinguished with those we would recognize.

Do it up, Bolichicos!
Not unlike the college kids on beaches for Spring Break.
Sounds like a great place for a Kennedy family swim.
Of course, there are only seven test kits in Venezuela. And they're not for you, peasant.
Venezuela had so much potential as a nation, but they bought the socialist lie and now their beautiful nation is a smoking ruin ruled by a dictator for life.
It really is tragic. It would be more tragic if the rest of the world did not learn the lesson of Venezuela and realize this is where AOC and Sanders will take us.
Maybe Hollyweird will follow suit. And... what Hollyweird trends, the recalcitrant lemmings mimic. Even leftist pols promote this state of Hollyweirdness. Could be a win/win.
Socialism, the choice of knowledgeable dictators everywhere!
Like a self-cleaning oven. Karma is not to be mocked!
I went to school with a lady who worked with their Treasury department. She left before Communism and went back after.
I don’t know what happened to her.
“The potential is high”
The potential is high, or it is low, it is something they don’t know. That rhymes!
But seriously, there have been only 7 deaths, That is a statement of fact. Potential is high is an opinion. Potential exists, that might be a fact, but relative amount of potential hasn’t been measured, and there is no reference point at which it could be said to be neither high nor low.
But that is journalism today. There used to be reporters, but they were replaced by journalists. Journalists write journals. Same as teachers, there used to be teachers, but they are being replaced by educators, janitors are being replaced by custodians.
A day of ‘wreckoning’ is coming for these nasty elites.
They need to be kissed by the infection literally
I'm pretty sure they were there.
