These stupid SOB's think about noone but themselves and what they want, the hell with the rest of the country. After stupid shit like this they should be locked up and taught a lesson not just quarantined, hell the problem is the little bastards have been handed everything and allowed to do as they please, time to end the ignorance running rampant. Since they all want to be so defiant I think all of them should serve one tour in the military no mater haw much money mommy and daddy have and that goes for the freeloading politicians kids.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Gov. Andy Beshear reported Tuesday that Kentucky has surpassed 160 coronavirus cases as a few dozen new cases were diagnosed across the state in the past day.
One of the new cases stemmed from a “coronavirus party," the governor said at his daily briefing. He didn't give any details about the event but he quickly denounced it.
“Anyone who goes to something like this may think that they are indestructible, but it’s someone else’s loved one that they are going to hurt," he said. “We are battling for the health and even the lives of our parents and our grandparents. And don’t be so callous as to intentionally go to something and expose yourself to something that can kill other people."
The updated statewide total included nearly 40 new cases spanning Kentucky, Beshear said.

For most people, the virus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus.
Meanwhile, Amazon temporarily closed a Kentucky warehouse after an unspecified number of workers tested positive for the coronavirus.
The online retailer said Tuesday that the Shepherdsville warehouse was undergoing “additional sanitization."
“We are supporting the individuals who are now in quarantine and recovering," the company said in a statement. “We are following all guidelines from local officials and are taking extreme measures to ensure the safety of employees at our site."
The company didn't specify how many employees have been infected with the virus.
The Bullitt County Health Department said the employees live in other counties but didn't identify the counties. A voicemail message sent to employees said three COVID-19 cases were confirmed at the warehouse, news outlets reported.
“Out of an abundance of caution, and in addition to our enhanced daily deep cleaning, we are temporarily closing the Shepherdsville, Ky., site for additional sanitization," the company said.
Workers who had “close contact” with the infected employees were being notified in order to self-quarantine for 14 days, officials said.
