The Covid-19 lockdowns have been wearing to all of us ....

| Lockdown Boredom Strikes Teens Harder Than Most .... |
As discussed in other posts, the under 40's have found the past 15 months particularly irksome, with their lack of freedoms chafing very raw on occasions. So we have seen reports of some illegal parties, raves, and mass disregard for social distancing .... while they wait patiently for their turn to get the vaccination shots. They are of course last on the priority list for vaccinations.

| Pox Parties Have Been Held For Decades ..... |
So some younger members of society have hit apparently upon the idea of getting their immunity the natural way, by catching it. So in the same manner as those chickenpox parties allegedly arranged by parents for little kids, some American students in Tuscaloosa USA were arranging "Covid Parties" in which they would intentionally try to infect a number of students who hadn't had Covid-19.
The incentive apparently was that they would have all put money into a pot and would scoop the lot if they were the first to be diagnosed after the party. Tuscaloosa city councillor Sonya Mckinistry, who reported the phenomena said "it makes no sense".
Well not to her maybe .... but its been reported as a phenomena across the US and elsewhere, so it obviously makes sense to some ... or it is just an urban myth brought on by unusual times.
