Stupidest COVID-Catching Stories You Heard First Hand

My buddy caught it using Tindr. Surprise, surprise.

If 2 was a true story there would be tons of press about that. No teacher has kids to their house willingly for a Halloween party let alone in 2020.

This dude I know in China eats bats. WTF! Anyways, he caught it from a bat.

And just how would the press find out about it? From a parent who wants to get the school in trouble? Perhaps. But apparently nobody wanted to rat them out.

A few of my friends had been in quarantine since MARCH. Their daughter is in the virtual class. They decided, against their better judgment, to attend the party. Luckily they wore masks and kept their distance from everyone, because they are among the few who didn't catch it. They were shocked that the very first thing they did outside the house since March turns out to be a COVID party.

Well, he should consider himself lucky that COVID is all he caught.

It's amazing how people who are super 'safe' always have a story about how their first time outside the house results in covid or being involved in a covid super spreader. Meanwhile people who have basically changed nothing have dodged this undodgeable virus for months. Someone should study this.

You raise a very interesting point that I have noticed as well. It got me thinking. Maybe people who continued their normal lives still don't go to "parties" (or protests or political rallies). But people who were "super safe" decided to go to something stupid once they decided to come out of hiding. Know what I mean? Like it took a big event to entice them out of quarantine. And they finally felt like maybe, just maybe, they were being paranoid this whole time. Let's try out the waters with...a halloween party!

True story, some private school kids did a Halloween party and literally half of them caught COVID. The principal was apparently pissed and the school is virtual now. I went to the party and it was 100% worth it. The "Catholic" kids are NOT Catholic bro ???

Whats the point of your post? Its just another respiratory virus, like all the others

I think I saw this same exact comment, word for word, below an article in the newspaper. Same handle - "stop the hysteria". Are you in Russia, or China? Can you type anything in English? Or is it just copy and paste?

Totally surprised he actually met someone on tindr and not some asian chick pushing bitcoin, skank trying to sett nudes on snap, or a instaho just looking for followers:) the odds of actually meeting someone and them having COVID have to be pretty low...

You should move to my city. From what I hear, the app actually works here. Can't say which city. But just guess which one is most different from the rest in the USA?

If a person isn't being safe and they catch covid nobody notices. If some is being safe and they don't catch covid, again nobody notices. This is basic human nature and applies to all sorts of things. You hear the story of the grandma who lives to 110 drinking and smoking.You don't read the story of the other grandma who drank and smoked and died at 60.

And of course people lie. Was the person being super safe or were the just thinking they were being supersafe? I know enough people who think doing 20 low risk activies is ok while faiing to realize that if you do 20 activies with a 1 % risk, that is the same as doing 1 high risk activity.

All of this stuff is covered in pysch 101. It also covers how people are poor at probability and evaluation anything that isn't immediate cause and effect.

Great post.
