Trump supporter says party he hosted led to 14 COVID infections

Of course, on a larger scale, Trump held a rally and many supporters and staff got sick, and Herman Cain died.

A Texas man who called coronavirus a “hoax” says he and 14 family members tested positive for COVID-19 after a party he hosted – and now his in-laws have rebuffed funds he raised for them online.

The infections led to the death of his partner’s grandmother and the ongoing hospitalization of his partner’s father, Rafael Ceja, who was placed on a ventilator, Dallas resident Tony Green confirmed to the Daily News in a phone interview Wednesday.

“There’s really a rift between the two families. It’s shame. There really needs to be more public awareness,” Green said.

“I wish they would take the money. They need it. But it doesn’t look like that is going to happen,” he said of the GoFundMe he started that raised $7,663 before he told donors to expect refunds.

In that world, Trump is doing an awesome job and you need to watch out for demon sperm.

it's not denial...the virus is out there but it's someone else's problem...it's like the the guy who smokes three packs of cigarettes a day and is convinced lung cancer happens to someone else until what he thinks is pneumonia is much worse...
