Covid Parties to purposely catch the virus.
Some countries permit those who have recovered from Covid within the previous six months, to be treated the same as those who are fully vaccinated.
A number of people choose to attend a party with a Covid positive person in an attempt to get Covid themselves for that reason.
However, the risks include the following..
More people in hospital, taking up hospital beds, infecting others including hospital workers, and possible death, or long term serious illness.
An anti-vaxxer who went to a “corona party” to purposely become infected with Covid has died from the virus.

Is it worth the risk? Especially as you can get Covid-19 more than once! We are seeing more reinfections now than during the start of the pandemic in 2020.
Long Term Risk of COVID-19.
Patients with “Long COVID” report prolonged, multisystem involvement and significant disability. By seven months, many patients have not yet recovered (mainly from systemic and neurological/cognitive symptoms), have not returned to previous levels of work, and continue to experience significant symptom burden.
