    30-year-old dies after attending 'Covid party' in Texas

    Patient said: ‘I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not’, according to health official

    A 30-year-old patient died after attending a “Covid party”, believing the virus to be a hoax, a Texas medical official has said.

    “Just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said ‘I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not,’” said Dr Jane Appleby, the chief medical officer at Methodist hospital in San Antonio.

    Appleby said: “I don’t want to be an alarmist, and we’re just trying to share some real-world examples to help our community realise that this virus is very serious and can spread easily.”

    A “Covid party” is a gathering held by somebody diagnosed with coronavirus to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected, she explained.

    Appleby said in her filmed comments at the weekend that she had been spurred to reveal the case after seeing a “concerning” rise in infections. She said 22% of tests were revealing a case of Covid-19, up from just 5% a few weeks ago.

    A broader age range were being affected, with several 20 and 30 year olds critically ill at the Methodist hospital, she said.

    “Please wear a mask, stay at home when you can, avoid groups of people and sanitise your hands,” said Appleby.

    The call for caution came as top officials in Houston urged the city to lock back down as hospitals struggled to accommodate new coronavirus cases.

    Houston mayor Sylvester Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said a stay-at-home order was needed for America’s fourth-largest city to cope with the surge.

    Last week, Texas continued to break records for confirmed cases and deaths linked to the disease. State health officials reported 8,196 new cases on Sunday, another 80 deaths and a total of 10,410 people hospitalised due to the virus.

    The decision over a lockdown, however, rests with Republican governor Greg Abbott, who has resisted this step, saying it should be a last resort.

    Are there any remaining Covid skeptics on Agrisilly? Here is an example of how not to prove Covid is a hoax and nothing to worry about.

    This guy may be a candidate for the Darwin award!

    Trump wore a mask in public for the first time. Perhaps even Trump has now decided its not a hoax?

    Jazz, are you planning any "special" parties?

      Hello Chuckchuck,,

      There was a 20 year old that died in Saskatchewan since you attended the large mass gathering with your Marxist friends in Saskatoon.

      Chuck, do you feel partly responsible? Are you a Covid-denier?

        How do you know where this 20 year old caught Covid if that is the case?

        The Chief Medical Health Officer in Saskatchewan said there was no known infections arising from the anti racism protests in Saskatchewan.

        The protests were outdoors and most if not all protesters wore masks. There is a greater risk of covid infections going shopping indoors where not everyone wears a mask. And shopping happens every day in much larger numbers across the province. Are you opposed to shopping and restaurants too?

        So whats your point?

          The only reason this is sillyville is because of your posting chuck. Anything in the guardian needs a couple of other sources to prove it is true for starters. People like you are promoting totalitarianism. The CCP virus will be with us for a long time it seems so we will have to adapt to it. The numbers are still very low but it is here to stay. Can't afford a lock down, so will have to find another way. I wont miss the NHL personally.

            Another relevant on topic discussion from Our resident cut and paste expert.
            For a supposed Canadian, it seems like an unhealthy infatuation with all things Trump or US. Is sure a good thing that our leadership and citizens are all beyond reproach.

              Covid will magically disappear after the election.

                    The U.S. is a cautionary tale in arrogance. We should watch and not follow. When they force a full open of schools , we can learn what not to do.

                      I came here to ally with chuck because he represents the senseless majority.

                      Tell us more chuck.

                      How are the cases in africa, or india or south america. You really want us to believe the US with 4% of the worlds population has all the covid cases.

                      This covid scam has shelf life expiring exactly Nov 4. All will be cured after that date.

                        The US, the UK, Brasil. They all haveConservative governments who have downplayed the risks and have some of the highest infection rates. The Conservatives in These cases have underperformed badly compared to more progressive governments who pay attention to the advice of scientists.

                          No, it is not Chucks post of a news article that is the problem, it is your "fake news" response because you don't like the story. You want verification: how about fox news https://fox6now.com/2020/07/12/texas-hospital-says-man-30-died-after-attending-covid-party/ https://fox6now.com/2020/07/12/texas-hospital-says-man-30-died-after-attending-covid-party/ or abc news https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/video/30-year-dies-attending-covid-party-71748445 https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/video/30-year-dies-attending-covid-party-71748445 NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/12/us/30-year-old-covid-party-death.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/12/us/30-year-old-covid-party-death.html
                          or even australian news services https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/believing-pandemic-a-hoax-30-year-old-dies-after-attending-covid-party-20200713-p55bii.html https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/believing-pandemic-a-hoax-30-year-old-dies-after-attending-covid-party-20200713-p55bii.html

                          Why are you not demanding the same "proof" of responses by Jazz and Taiga insinuating that Covid will disappear after the US election. Just like it was supposed to disappear by Easter, then by summer, it is only a US problem, and the death rate is falling, etc when you say it is something that will be here a long time?.

                            Hypocrisy 101:
                            It sounds like Chucky has downplayed the risks of Covid by attending a mass Anti-police rally. (Chuck tells us Covid can’t effect people at Protests))
                            Democrat states lead by New York have the worst death rate in the USA. (Chuck doesn’t criticize New York)
                            Democrats encourage mass protests and looting so deaths will continue to rise. (Chuck approves)
                            Texas has a similar population to Canada deaths are at about 40% of the Canadian. (Chuck criticizes Texas)
                            Trudeau voting area of Montreal has the highest death rate in Canada. (Chuck doesn’t criticize Montreal)

                            Do rules apply to chuck and other Marxists?

                              Maybe chuck the brainiac could learn a thing or two about the US before he launches an unfoundef attack. Democrat run states and cities have 90% of the cases. US is not run like Canada. States have huge autonomy and they set the pace. Trump gave them al the gear they needed. They determine their own pace of shutting down or reopening. Got exactly zero to do with him.

                              Most of the cases are still in NY. Dem govenor Dem mayor Dem reps in congress and house.

                              Gotta get trump out office no matter god forbid he might start snooping around in his 2nd term.

                              Be careful what you defend chuck and dml. I wouldn't want to have to come here in a years time and remind you.
