A Tennessee woman who once mocked self-quarantining and social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic has tested positive for COVID-19. Days before she was diagnosed, she shared a video on social media, bragging she did not think she would ever get the illness. Now, she is complaining about struggling to breathe because it "feels like someone is sitting on my chest."

"So, I'm aware that we’re supposed to be self-quarantining and social distancing all these things to keep everyone safe. Cool. I get it," Ireland Tate, 21, said in a video she published before she was diagnosed, reports WZTV in Nashville. "I just don’t think that I’m going to get the virus." She later got the virus though, and is now self-quarantining at her parents' home.


"It feels like someone is sitting on my chest at all times," Tate said of her symptoms. "It's really hard to breathe. I’ve coughed until my throat has bled."

27. Well, she was a little less stupid than the woman of around the same age that

licked a toilet seat.

[Aristus]

2. I'd feel sorry for this hammerhead, but I'm wondering how many people she exposed

before getting symptoms.

Stupidity can be deadly, young lady...

[Wounded Bear]

18. Stupidity is far more contagious than intelligence...

But I’ll make an exception here

[StarryNite]

Hope shd recovers, pulls head out of her egocentric ass & finds some way to make the world a better place for all species.

Only a true asshole behaves that way! 🤬

7. Is Tennessee the new Florida?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. trumpers / GOPers infect everything they can.

[SheltieLover]

12. It's so sickening here 🤮

There aren't even words to describe the arrogance, overwhelming stupidity... I could never have imagined humans could be this stupid and revolting. 🤮

[not_the_one]

8. I'd wager that the single most important thing to this young woman is

her ON-LINE PRESENCE.

She's had TWO chances at her 15 minutes... Now she is exposing the rest of her family.

Sad. Bigly.

[BamaRefugee]

9. I'm sure her parents are ECSTATIC!

[Nay]

17. Her parents feel like slapping her to death. nt

[catsudon]

13. another trumpanzee bites the dust

hope she does not infect any random innocent by-stander

[meow2u3]

14. OK Trumper

She had to learn the hard way. That's the only way MAGAts ever learn.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

16. Hehe

OK Trumper,like it .may I steal it?

29. You read about that one too, I see. Similar profile, around 20, blonde, likely proudly

conservative. The issue is if they survive, they likely pop out a few kids who may be no better.

[smirkymonkey]

21. Some people go through life as an inspiration to others.

And some people go through life as a horrible warning. She would be the latter. What a stupid girl.

Not only has she harmed her own health, but she has probably infected others. What a selfish, idiotic person.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. 21 YO Instagram cutie is not so cute for a while.

Article says she's an asthmatic to boot, so she'll probably pay for this event for life.

As I'm understanding it, this virus damages our lungs with any infection that shows significant symptoms. It is said to destroy the alveoli that allow us to absorb oxygen and expel CO2.

I hope she has a successful recovery and learns to use her social media popularity to do good rather than potential harm.

[GulfCoast66]

24. I just can't pile on. Because I remember, vaguely, when I was 21.

I was a natural born dick. Because I was 21. I was even worse at 19!

I hope she has a full recovery.

What can I say. I’m a proud bleeding heart liberal.

[misanthrope]

25. Is there any way to confirm her claim of diagnosis

or this just another avenue to fame?

32. Not lookig quite so smug and...

...self-satisfied in that photo on the right.

Dumbass.

[ffr]

33. I know women her age that are MAGAts supporters too. It makes no sense

Thoughts and prayers to her.

[Raine]

34. How many others she infected I have much sympathy

as for her I'll show her the same caring she had for others ...

[magicarpet]

35. Here is a real violin player, two in fact ...

Thanks!

37. Nice Influencing!

Love,

[Journeyman]

39. I hope she recovers soon. Hopefully, she'll be wiser for it, and a little more mature . . .

I wish nothing but the best for her. Youthful stupidity is too often a death sentence for many. May she recover and go on to a useful, productive life.

[Strelnikov_]

42. "Coughed until my throat has bled"

Somebody probably should tell her to get to the hospital. Could well be pneumonia.

Wish her the best.

[wellst0nev0ter]

43. My thoughts and prayers to her parents

[live love laugh]

44. Waste of a ventilator. nt
