Why people would voluntarily go to large crowded gatherings at this time is beyond me

Probably because they don't know anyone who had COVID personally and think the media is hyping it up. Plus the numbers are low compared to population. If you were an accountant, this would be a rounding error in the large picture. Then some areas of the country they aren't as serious about locking things down like in Tennessee, Utah, South Dakota or Wyoming. Heard a radio ad promoting road trips to Wyoming, they even mention they have freedom "ready to be free again". I guess that makes sense though if the rest of the country is locked down, other places can take advantage of it and profit. Supply and Demand. I'm curious how the results after Sturgis will be in 2 weeks, other places being closed and people from all over the country flocked there. Well they attract a bunch of people every year from all over anyways, but I figured this year be more so since less opportunities for entertainment right now.

Then our own president said some people didn't even know they had it comparing it to a cold. Then reports that some doctors have been threatened to lose their job if they don't sign off on COVID because the hospital gets extra money even if someone died from Cancer. Then another doctor thought the ventilators were doing more harm than good so if the doctors kill people with ventilators that's a extra 50 grand. Some people are worth more dead than alive. I think there's a virus just like other things but we're being played in a way to influence the election. Just like how with Obama they were scaring everyone about Swine Flu, working on a new vaccine for that too but that just kinda fizzled out. I know I'm skeptical personally and it is very concerning all the big sites are censoring this stuff. I think because the big drug companies run advertising on these sites, I know in other countries they banned advertising drugs but in the USA that's big business.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the ignorance and stupidity on display here. Beyond that, I simply don't understand the appeal of this kind of influencer: she has literally nothing interesting to say and what she does say she delivers in the most aggravating cartoon parody of the "valley girl" stereotype and clearly with no sense of irony. What kind of role model is this for young people? Just awful.
I'm not sure she has much appeal. As the first comment says "Most of these people Idk. I’m just watching because I’m bored".

If you're willing to expose your private life and you have access to parties of actual celebrities, then you're going to get some amount of attention by people scrolling their feeds and auto-playing YT recommendations.

Going to a 200 person party at this time seems unwise, but to then get shot.
Google 'secret gyms LA'.

Covid will never go away till we develop a vaccine.
