Considering that covid-19 can cause permanent lung damage, sounds like a great plan for summitting a mountain where there isn't enough air to survive.

It is just the new way to hide the Covid-19 deaths. Instead their death certificate will say mountaineering accident so they can pretend it isn’t as bad as it actually is.

For those with reduced lung capacity, achieving an altitude of 9,029 ft now counts as summiting.

Aren’t there already terrible hygiene problems on Everest? I don’t know how long the virus survives in the cold, but it seems reckless to find out.

Captain Hygiene posted:Just sitting up there on the summit, blocking it off because nobody can approach within 6 ft to make you move In the future photos of the traffic jams trying to summit will also show the tape strips placed 6 feet apart that have now become part of the normal Sherpa line fixing at the beginning of the climbing season. Also, people will now be patted on the back for observing social distancing rules when completely ignore other climbers in distress.

We're getting complaints about this thread, presumably because of the tone of the OP. I've rebooted it for you, dear friends. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3933688 Since this thread started in GBS I'll put it to rest in the GBS Graveyard.
