North Carolina Hospital Nurse Said Patients Attending Coronavirus Parties, Intentionally Trying to Get the Virus

By Eddy Rodriguez On 5/20/20 at 10:39 AM EDT

A North Carolina hospital nurse said patients are attending COVID-19 parties in order to intentionally get themselves infected with the novel coronavirus.

"We have heard from a lot of patients and the community that they're unafraid of getting the virus, so people are actually out and about trying to get the virus – attending gatherings, parties –just trying to maximize their chances of exposure," Yolanda Enrich, a nurse practitioner at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, told KOAT Action 7 News.

Enrich told the tv station that patients attend such parties with the purpose of developing immunity to COVID-19 so that they no longer have to take precautions against the virus during their daily routines.

"We're really worried because not everyone that becomes infected with the virus produces antibodies," Enrich said, urging families to continue following safety recommendations.

"So what we are hearing is young folks saying, 'I think I'm fine. I'm going to get COVID-19,' but they are out in their communities. They are spreading the virus further and then those who have more chronic diseases who are older, but still need to go to the grocery store or go to their health care setting or go to the pharmacy to pick up medicine – that means the virus is still out in the community and can impact those people."

No problem. They immunized themselves before the party started. They all drank a glass of bleach.
