Residents of a southern Washington state county who attended so-called “coronavirus parties" could be behind an increase of cases in the community, local health officials said this week when urging residents to continue to adhere to social distancing measures.
The Walla Walla County of Community Health in a statement Tuesday said it had received reports of “COVID-19 parties” occurring within the community.
“Walla Walla County health officials are receiving reports of COVID-19 parties occurring in our community, where non-infected people mingle with an infected person in an effort to catch the virus,” officials said in a news release. “As COVID-19 cases in Walla Walla County continue to rise, health officials strongly recommend you remain vigilant with physical distancing to limit community transmission of the virus.”
Those taking part in such gatherings are deliberately exposing themselves to the virus in the hope of contracting it and developing immunity, similar to the idea behind so-called “measles parties,” which health officials have warned in the past are not a good idea. "Chickenpox" parties were also common before the vaccine was licensed for use in the U.S. in 1995. Some parents would intentionally expose their unvaccinated children to a child with chickenpox in an effort to make them immune, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
But with no effective treatment or vaccine to combat the novel coronavirus at this time, these gatherings are particularly risky.
Speaking to the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin, Meghan DeBolt, director of the county’s Department of Community Health, called the gatherings “unacceptable” and “irresponsible.” She noted at least 25 infected people in the community have admitted to going to a "COVID-19 party."
“We don’t know when it is happening. It’s after the fact that we hear from cases,” she said.

I always choose the shopping cart that is abandoned in the back of the store parking lot...in the sun.
We’ll develop herd immunity eventually and it’ll be just another virus that exists.
Please provide some support for COVID and strokes.
How many other diseases also cause strokes?

Do you understand that most people are going to be exposed? We are not stopping the spread and that has never been the stated goal. Eventually most people will be exposed. If your young and healthy there are much greater risks then this virus so the attitude is right, get it over with.
i run through A LOT and i mean A LOT of info
I have already posted it.
Feel free to do a search on the internet
you will find it
I found out our neighbor has COVID. To be honest, part of me just wants to go over there and give him a big hug. Get this the f*** over with already. Of course, if I did expose myself, I would make sure I was quarantined from everyone else.
Your Freeper card has thus been renewed for another year.
Have a nice day.
