Corona parties – now it's really crazy!

The situation is serious, all experts warn: Please don't go among people anymore! And because not everyone in the corona crisis understands this (or at least not everyone takes it seriously), a dangerous counter-trend has now formed: Now private corona parties are suddenly being celebrated!

Two types of corona parties

There are even two different types of corona parties. Some fall under the motto "Nothing can happen to us and we don't let celebrations forbid us". We find the other kind even more hideous – because here party people celebrate together to deliberately become infected with the corona virus!

No kidding: Facebook has private events in which friends and acquaintances invite each other to private celebrations in their own home. Some of those who deliberately expose themselves to the risk of infection or even have the goal of becoming infected follow a crude plan: they think that if they get infected now, they are "behind them" and are immune to the coronavirus. This in turn is medically controversial, there is no indication that you can really immunize yourself against corona.

Don't participate!

Let's not kid ourselves: there will always be some unteachable people who think that they don't have to follow the warnings from science and politics. We probably won't be able to transform them either.

But you have one thing in your hands at all times: Don't get infected – neither with the party mood, nor with Corona! If friends invite you to a private party, you can also refuse the invitation in a friendly manner. If you have planned a party yourself – maybe a birthday or something – you can think about whether you want to cancel this celebration. In these turbulent times, we should give up a few weeks. Then we can also beat this damn virus! Everyone for themselves and everyone together!
