I have sympathy. There is so much misinformation being spread about this thing and so much mistrust of official sources that I can absolutely see how someone could reach that conclusion. It isnt like they had a massive gathering. Just a few family members - so convinced were they the worst was over.
It's deeply sad. Many, many people, both those who believe the seriousness of Covid and those who don't have taken silly chances here and there - usually pretty small scale and most of them won't have had an experience as bad as that guy and his family
This is the cost of misinformation being spread and/or endorsed by people in government and the media that supports them, alongside the systematic dismantling of whatever trust used to exist for most of the major news outlets
