A 'Get COVID' Party Helped Overrun Alberta's ICUs: Report
https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvzq73/a-get-covid-party-helped-overrun-albertas-icus-reportA “Get COVID” party in a Canadian town has sent several people to hospital, according to a local news report.
CityNews reported Thursday that guests at the party, which took place about two weeks ago in the town of Edson, Alberta, were trying to get infected with the virus to “build up natural immunity” rather than get vaccinated. Some party attendees ended up in the local hospital, while others wound up in the intensive care unit in Edmonton, about two hours east of Edson, according to CityNews.

Alberta has by far the highest COVID-19 case numbers among Canadian provinces, and one of the lowest vaccination rates.

Alberta’s latest weekly case count is at 11,226. That’s more than double the next-highest province, Ontario, which has 10 million more residents than Alberta. The province has even asked the federal government for help transferring COVID-19 patients from its overflowing hospital beds to other provinces.
