A Queens man is in the hospital with COVID-19 after attending a local Republican group's indoor Christmas party that was widely criticized for its maskless "COVID conga line" earlier this month. The Queens Daily Eagle reported Wednesday that James Trent is currently hospitalized with coronavirus symptoms that appeared just days after attending the Whitestone Republican Club's controversial bash. Another attendee and his wife are also believed to have tested positive for the virus, according to the outlet.

Roughly 50 people attended the December 9th event at the Il Braco restaurant in Little Neck. With the exception of a few waitstaff, almost none of the partygoers were seen wearing masks. A conga line led by club president and City Council candidate Vickie Paladino attracted widespread attention on Twitter, and the ire of Governor Andrew Cuomo. "COVID conga lines are not smart. Thats my official position," Cuomo said of the video. "Why you would do an unmasked conga line in the middle of a pandemic, whatever your political persuasion, defies logical explanation." At the time, the Whitestone Republican Club fired back with their own statement: Adults have the absolute right to make their own decisions, and clearly many chose to interact like normal humans and not paranoid zombies in hazmat suits.

I don't know what's lamer: taking part in a conga line or still waving a Trump 2020 flag nearly 2 months after the election.

I used to think so but then I listened to a couple episodes of Hannity. There wasn't a single segment I wouldn't call reality denial. And these bull shit peddlers have only gotten more influential over the last decade. Literal Bannon was in the white house staff for a bit.

maybe if they want that and the hospitals get overcrowded. there's no help for the ones who went to those stupid party's (all they get is medication and an oxygen tank if there's anything left).

Governors can beg all they want. Nobody's gonna stop spreading corona because of begging. There needs to be consequences. Imagine if instead of arresting murderers we just begged them to stop.

This is a classic "Don't criticize my dumb actions!" argument

and clearly many chose to interact like normal humans and not paranoid zombies in hazmat suits.

And this is just blatantly ignorant.

That dopey-looking teen? Yeah, he did I think. Or if not, got heavily lambasted by social media to the point he apologized for being so stupid.

He probably only apologized because his parents made him do so.
