Texas hospital says man, 30, died after attending 'COVID party'

A Texas hospital says a patient who was a healthy young man died from coronavirus after attending a “COVID” party.

“This is a party held by somebody diagnosed with the COVID virus, and the thought is people get together to see if the virus is real and if anyone gets infected,” Appleby said, NBC 4 San Antonio reported Friday.


The unidentified 30-year-old man died at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, according to the hospital’s top doctor, Jane Appleby.

“Just before the person died they looked at the nurse and they said, ‘I think I made a mistake. I thought it was a hoax but it's not,” she said, according to the station...

So he thought it was a hoax and got his life snuffed out because of that.

Where did he get that idea I wonder.

That’s not evolution, his death was caused by misinformation, disinformation and scientific illiteracy

Arguably, it’s nature selecting for people not so susceptible to idiocy.

It only counts as evolution if he died before reproducing.

He was 30. He had decades of reproductive capacity left.

NYC had bodies stacked in tractor trailers while Trump was spouting off about this being a hoax and telling people to inject disinfectant and Clorox. I guess I don’t find Covid denialist behavior as funny. I definitely do think it’s stupid and dangerous

Thing is though Trump NEVER said covid itself was a hoax. People who keep claiming this obviously missed the context in how he used the term either willingly choosing to say something not nice , or they simply just aren't aware of the facts.

Unfortunately Trump speaks like deranged 6 year old. He has really hard time with coherent sentences.

So you get something like.....


“This whole thing democratic hoax. Believe me. We are doing great. Virus will go away. Like a miracle. Believe me. Americans are strong. Very soon hoax will be gone. Fake news. Believe me. We have too much testing. Hydrochloride will be amazing. Stock market is better than ever during last 2 days. Fauci is a nice guy but we have to open the economy because democrats leaders are like very bad. Believe me.”

Hearing the man speaks sounds like he skipped every education level after kindergarten. This apparently is a great to his supporters for some peculiar reason. How he connects with uneducated or whatever.

Anyways this style of rhetoric is great because his support staff can later mangle it in thousand and one ways to say what he really “meant” and how he didn’t really mean what it sounded like he meant.

For someone holding an office of POTUS this is unacceptable.

If your communication skills are so lacking that they can be interpreted in gazillion ways you really should not be making statements to the nation or guiding US foreign policy.

This lack of coherency is hard to explain as unintentional so what is left is that it is totally calculated for the effects.

And looking to messages of Trump apologists every time he says something silly, racist, dangerous or ignorant it seems to be working.

Trump sets the bar as low as his supporters allow him. Apparently there is no bottom level.
