Sources tell FTVLive that a news manager at Nexstar’s WHBF (Quad Cities) thought that holding a party in the midst of a pandemic was a good idea.

Sources tell FTVLive that days later, the manager tested positive for the ‘rona and now a number of station staffers that had attended the party are now out as they are quarantining.

Other staffers are not happy now that they are scrambling to cover shifts.

Hope the party was worth it.
