WOAI/KABB: “A patient in their 30s died from the coronavirus after attending what is known as a ‘COVID party,’ according to health care officials.”
“Chief Medical Officer of Methodist Healthcare Dr. Jane Appleby said the idea of these parties is to see if the virus is real.”
“‘This is a party held by somebody diagnosed by the COVID virus and the thought is to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected,’ Dr. Appleby said.”
“According to Appleby, the patient became critically ill and had a heartbreaking statement moments before death.”
“‘Just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said ‘I think I made a mistake, I thought this was a hoax, but it’s not,” Appleby said.”
