“I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not.”
These were the last reported words of a 30-year old from Texas who’d attended a so-called “Covid party”, in which guests gathered to see if they would contract a disease that many of them suspected wasn’t real. It is a heart-wrenching story but hardly unique, even for the past week, when we had already heard about Carsyn Davis, a 17-year old girl from Florida whose mother had taken her to a Covid party organised at her local church. The girl was already immuno-compromised from childhood illness and died after finally being admitted to hospital once the hydroxychloroquine administered by her parents failed to live up to the President’s promises.
