(34,079 posts)An Austrian man who went to an Italian "coronavirus party" in an apparent bid to build immunity against COVID-19 has died from the virus, according to local media reports.
The 55-year-old died in Austria last week after contracting the virus. Similar parties are now prevalent in the Italian city of Bolzano and elsewhere across the province of South Tyrol, Rai Alto Adige reported, citing Patrick Franzoni, deputy co-ordinator of a COVID unit in the city.
Franzoni said he and colleagues are aware that some young people are deliberately attempting to catch COVID-19, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a "green pass" without being vaccinated against COVID-19.
"Green passes" were first introduced in Italy in August, and were made mandatory for the workplace last month. The certificates are obtained by either being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or naturally recovering from the virus within the past six months. The certificates are also required in other parts of Europe.

(34,079 posts)"We have received more than one account from doctors of patients who admitted to having been infected on purpose," he said, according to the news outlet.
"[They do this] to develop antibodies, and to obtain the green pass without vaccination. There are long-term consequences and even young people can end up in hospital."
From December 6, Italy will require the health pass for access to cinemas, theatres, gyms, nightclubs, ski lifts and stadiums, and indoor dining at restaurants and bars.
Prime Minister Mario Draghi, announcing the measures, told reporters on Wednesday: "We are seeing the situation in bordering countries is very serious and we also see that the situation in Italy is gradually but constantly getting worse."
In explaining the concept of "coronavirus parties," Franzoni said at least one attendee is infected with COVID-19 and other partygoers deliberately try to catch the disease from that individual. They do so "not realizing that the virus is also dangerous in children and young people," he said.
The Prosecutor's Office in Bolzano has reportedly opened an investigation into the superspreader events, according to the Independent.
It comes as many European countries are swiftly reimposing COVID restrictions on citizens amid a sharp surge in infections. The WHO said earlier this month that the EU has become the epicenter of the pandemic once again, given that recent coronavirus cases in the region account for nearly three-fifths of global infections.

(8,935 posts)There I fixed it for you.
We should be terrified.
This means we'll never get rid of covid, and a strain will develop that will be resistant to vaccines.
I blame FOX and all the RW infotainment broadcasters on the internet and around the world for fomenting all this attitudes against the vaccine.

(7,820 posts)Even if you survive, long term effects of Covid are a major concern. Also, 55 is not that young, particularly if there are underlying health issues.

(58,785 posts)Lightning struck. Even though the chance of anyone at any age of dying is quite low, and even though 3/4 of those who do are over 65, it's a horrible, horrible death.
Btw, Newsweek tabloid had to go to Austria to pick this up.
