(81,700 posts)Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, said the man was 30 years old.
He didnt really believe, he thought the disease was a hoax. He thought he was young and he was invincible and wouldnt get affected by the disease, Appleby told KSAT.
According to the doctor, the man went to a COVID party. Appleby said a COVID party is when someone who contracts the virus invites friends over for a party to see if they can beat the disease.
One of the things that was heart-wrenching that he said to his nurse was, you know, I think I made a mistake and this young man went to a COVID part, Appleby said.

(63,221 posts)I wonder if he had any co-morbidities or if he was just an average healthy 30-year-old. The article doesn't say.
However, it does seem like many younger people are being affected and suffering damage, even if they do survive. I really wish they would take it more seriously. Not just for their own sakes, but for the sake of their families, friends and other people in their communities who might be more susceptible to the illness than they are.

Hopefully he can at least serve as an object lesson.

(82,849 posts)Every now and then Dick Grayson or Robin would fall in like with some attractive young thing, who would turn out to be an accomplice of that week's villain. In the end, when the Penguin or the Joker was taken away, the pretty young thing would also be taken away to the hoosegow. Robin would be distraught and Batman would say, "Poor deluded girl."
I don't know why these stories remind me of those corny old TV shows, but godfuckingdammit take this seriously, you deluded motherfuckers.
