Florida gang members have supposedly been hosting massive parties at vacation rental homes with the hopes of spreading the coronavirus, according to officials.

Osceola County Sherriff Russ Gibson reported that the sheriff’s office has received more than 600 noise complaints, many related to what Gibson referred to as “COVID-19 parties.” Gibson advised that over the coming weekend, his deputies plan to step up patrols in areas where the parties have been known to happen.

“They’re being referred to, from what I’m being told, as COVID-19 parties where they’re actually getting together and they’re trying to mingle to potentially spread the virus amongst each other if they’re asymptomatic or whatever the case might be,” Gibson said.

They’re doing their bit for herd immunity.

No, They’re disproving the hoax! If Joe Biden wins the election, we will hear ZERO about any virus afterward, starting when the votes are tallied. Bank on it!

Isn’t a “party” covered by our first amendment right to peaceable assembly?

My own guess is that "COVID-19 parties" is a joke and what they are trying to pick up by getting together and trying to mingle isn't the COVID-19 virus. (Men and women have been doing this since Adam and Eve.)

The boys in the hood know this is all BS for anyone under 60 without health problems. They have absolutely no fear of catching this glorified flu.

This is just the other side of the coin of those who believe the BS that this virus is some sort of Black Death. Some of them hide under the bed, wear their masks while driving alone in their cars, and point accusing fingers at those of us who haven’t bought into the hysteria. These are terrorist types who think holding parties will result in corpses lining the streets. All of them are part of the gullible masses.

A friend of mine is an ICU nurse. She's almost never seen healthy 30 or 40 somethings in the ICU from seasonal flu. In contrast, there are many otherwise healthy 30 and 40-somethings in her ICU unit with Covid-19 as we speak. Is it the norm for most healthy 30 or 40 somethings to be hospitalized by Covid-19? No. But to claim that it's exactly the same risk as seasonal flu and of no risk to the young and healthy is also BS.

The whole problem with discussions of Covid-19 is that they've been politicized and polarized by BS on one side trying to make it look like an ebola outbreak, and BS of your variety that says it's just a cold or the seasonal flu. But if you want to trust the professional medical opinion of inner city hoods, have at it.

Here’s the problem...

Any country or gang or person who gets exposed to this virus and lives (an extremely likely probability) has an enormous advantage over one who is hunkered down crashing their ability to earn wealth and defend themself.

SARS-COVID-2 parties make perfect logical sense when you are engaged in arbitraging the reality of Corona versus the hysteria of Corona. These people are told the reason they cannot earn a living, cannot socialize, and have to wear a mask is because a virus will kill them and all of humanity but yet they see that they are being fed a crock of shiite.

I have been consistent in saying this. Read my post to all of the Fearpers when this thing got started. You know the Freepers who safe at home drawing a government check decided that everyone else should be lockdown. Those Freepers the ones parroting case fatality rates and posting scary graphs and charts the ones who said listen to the experts the ones who said that we could temporarily sacrifice liberty for some corona safety. They became Fearpers.

Exactly - the whole debate about Covid-19 has been framed by the opinions of idiots: on one side you have idiots who are saying that this will be the end of humanity if we’re not all put under immediate house arrest quarantine, on the other side are idiots who say that this is just like the common cold and so nothing should be done to contain its spread.

I’m here saying that it is no different from previous outbreaks (i.e. Swine Flu, Regular Flu, etc..) I had the flu in my late 20s and I’m here to testify that if you have the flu, the last thing you will be doing is going to parties, or even supermarkets. If Biden wins the election, mission accomplished and you won’t hear ANYTHING about it again!

I am a bona fide Fearper, but I think you are missing a lot of shades of gray here.

My view has always been that ICU admissions should drive the discussion.

If there is capacity I have no problem with opening up businesses.

Right now there is ICU capacity almost everywhere, so the governors are wrong to have lockdowns.

Since coronaviruses are not influenza viruses, not to mention the fact that they target different cells and body systems, this is simply wrong. You may as well tell me that cats are glorified dogs.

If true, why isn't DJT out in front of this and saying so?
