LONDON – MAY 31: Party revellers enjoy the atmosphere on the London Underground during a Facebook cocktail party on the Circle Line on May 31, 2008 in central London, England. Tonight is the last evening when Londoners can consume alcohol on public transport. The cocktail party, organised on the networking Web site Facebook, attracted thousands of revellers to enjoy one last drink on the London Underground before the ban’s enforcement on June 1, 2008. The ban, introduced by the new London Mayor Boris Johnson, is an attempt to clean up unruly behaviour on the London public transport system. (Photo by Ann Tornkvist/Getty Images)

Students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama are reportedly throwing “COVID parties” with their friends and gambling on who will get sick first, according to local officials. According to City Council member Sonya McKinstry “They put money in a pot and they try to get COVID. Whoever gets COVID first gets the pot. It makes no sense,” she said. They didn't mention the University of Alabama by name but it is the largest college in the city. She adds that they're trying to break up any of these parties when they learn of them. There have been at least 37,536 recorded coronavirus infections and 926 fatalities in Alabama.
