Alabama college students are throwing 'COVID parties' where they invite infected people and gamble
on who gets sick first, officials sayCollege students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, have been throwing parties where they invite people infected with the coronavirus and gamble on who comes down with the illness first, city officials said.
Tuscaloosa City Councilor Sonya McKinstry told ABC News about the practice on Wednesday. Tuscaloosa Fire Chief Randy Smith first reported the parties at a pre-council meeting on Tuesday, according to WBMA.
Smith said the fire service had received reports of students throwing parties and inviting "known positives," but thought it was "a rumor at first."
"We did some additional research ... not only did the doctor's offices help confirm it, but the state confirmed they had the same information," Smith said, according to WBMA.
