Despite Devo releasing their own PPE, band hero Mark Mothersbaugh was diagnosed with COVID-19 earlier this summer, and to make matters worse, he's been forced to deal with the nightmare TikTok influencer mansion that's turned his neighbourhood into a "party warzone."

As Stereogum points out, a new article by U.K. tabloid the Daily Mail focuses on the "angry neighbours" of the "Sway House" — an $8 million L.A. mansion that's become party central courtesy of viral TikTok stars Bryce Hall, Noah Beck and Blake Gray. Among those pissed-off neighbours is Anita Greenspan — the wife of 70-year-old Mothersbaugh — who revealed he was diagnosed with the coronavirus and ended up in ICU.

Throughout it all, she and her husband have had to deal with the TikTok turds and their guests "defecating and urinating in the street, having sex in cars and smoking marijuana in a fire risk area" and turning "the once-quiet neighbourhood [into] a 'party warzone.'"

Greenspan said her husband came "close to death" while in the ICU in June, adding: "This virus is no joke, I've experienced it first-hand. There was a week where my daughters thought he would die."

But making matters even worse for the family, they have had to deal with the TikTok party mansion.

"It makes me crazy, the sheer inconsideration," Greenspan said. "It goes on all day long. There are people in the pool screaming, they're blasting music and there are cars parked all down the street. They don't seem to care about public health."

The TikTok party mansion recently made international headlines when Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti ordered the power cut off to the party house last week.

"With more than 2,000 Angelenos — and over 170,000 Americans — lost to COVID-19, we need every resident to undertake critical safeguards to stop the spread of this virus," Garcetti said. "That includes not hosting or attending parties that put themselves, their neighbours and many others at risk."
