Vybe Together had a now-removed FAQ page suggesting it supported small gatherings, not large ones, The Verge reported.
“We are aware that Covid is a major health concern for the country, our communities, our friends and family,” said the FAQ page. “If we could all be in isolation, this could really disappear. Having large-scale parties is very dangerous. That’s why we don’t support that. But Vybe is a compromise, not big parties but small gatherings. We could live. , at least a little in these times with Vybe. “
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not recommend holding even smaller social gatherings that bring people from different households together due to the risk of Covid-19 spreading.
“The more people an individual meets at a meeting and the longer the interaction lasts, the greater the potential risk of becoming infected with the spread of Covid-19 and Covid-19,” the CDC said in its guidelines. Many local governments have also issued guidelines banning gatherings.
“Some horrible people have built an entire app for finding and promoting Covid-unsafe big, indoor raves, and they’re using TikTok to market it to millions of people,” he tweeted. “They are currently promoting secret NYE brushes in New York.”
