It's been all downhill since the Scopes Trial, & now we come to this:
Tuscaloosa City Councilor Sonya McKinstry said students have been organizing "COVID parties" as a game to intentionally infect each other with the contagion that has killed more than 127,000 people in the United States. She said she recently learned of the behavior and informed the city council of the parties occurring in the city.
She said the organizers of the parties are purposely inviting guests who have COVID-19.
"They put money in a pot and they try to get COVID. Whoever gets COVID first gets the pot. It makes no sense," McKinstry said. "They're intentionally doing it."

Ridiculous and then they go to school and infect everyone else around them, at the dorms, the library, home w/ the rest of their families, work, etc. God, what a mess. I'm glad I don't have kids around anymore.
