TEST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN

Santa and Mrs. Claus visited a rural Georgia community last Thursday to spread a little Christmas cheer. But they may have also spread something a bit less festivethe novel coronavirus. According to the local board of commissioners, the pair said they felt fine when they posed with roughly 50 children at the Christmas parade in the city of Ludowici. But, in the following days, they both tested positive for COVID-19. Long County Chairman Robert D. Parker wrote a message to the community on Facebook, saying: I have personally known both Santa and Mrs. Claus my entire life and I can assure everyone that they would have never knowingly done anything to place any children in danger. The kids who came into close contact with Santa have been told to stay home from school until after winter break.

OP
The parents of those kids should not be given a free pass for endangering them.

Mr. and Mrs. Claus definitely deserve their share of blame and scorn; but the parents are also responsible here.

Mr. & Mrs. Claus are dumbasses for being at the event.
Dont get me started on the stupid, stupid parents.
Fuck.
