One Asshole Had A Birthday Party And Spread Coronavirus Literally All Over The World
There goes Vindog. The only guy on the planet that gets it. Does he feel the need to celebrate his own birthday? Probably not. But if it's going to happen he's not going to subject his guests to germs and disease just to keep with some antiquated superstition. Way ahead of social distancing and sanitary living. You know who could learn a thing or two from him...this asshole in Connecticut.
(source)--A 40th gathering in Connecticut has been dubbed 'party zero' after guests became infected and spread coronavirus across several states and the around the world.
About 50 guests reportedly gathered on March 5 at a home in the wealthy suburb of Westport for a lavish buffet and celebration.
After the event, roughly half of those at the party became infected with the disease, then transmitted it to other states and the rest of the world.
According to the New York Times, guests left that evening for Johannesburg, New York City, other parts of Connecticut and the wider US.
And if you're thinking "hey Chief, the party was on March 5th. Nobody really knew anything then. Nothing had been canceled. We didn't get the order to do social distancing. Kinda harsh to call him an asshole". Well you're absolutely right. He's not an asshole for having a party on March 5th. He's an asshole for having a birthday party period. You know when is the last time you're allowed to have a birthday party as a man...21. That's it. You can drink now. You're done. If you're having a party for your 40th, just don't. Congratulations on...not dying? Big whoop. You're going make 50 people, fly from all over the world, come to your house, sing TO YOU, and say things like "oh wow Jim, the big 4-Oh" and make lame jokes about age and being old then you suck and you're an asshole. And that's not even counting the gifts part. I bet 40 year-olds from Westport, CT expect gifts from their guests. How the fuck are you supposed to shop for a 40 year-old dude. Here's, uhhh....a sleeve of golf balls? Here's a wacky tie? There's literally nothing in the world you can get for a person turning 40. If it were my party, and let's assume it was a suprise party thrown by a girlfriend who is getting dumped because she clearly doesn't know me because she threw my a surprise party, all I would want is for a friend of mine to pull me away and tell me that he will make a loud exit when he leaves early so other people will feel comfortable doing the same. Nobody wants to be the first person to leave so parties linger longer than they should. The greatest gift is the gift of ending the party where you have to pretend to like gifts you've gotten. So yes, having a party for turning 40 makes you an asshole, corona or no corona.
