His village were missing him too much
Good to read the majority here are of the same, thinking and considerate view.
No way will I go out at the moment, or until it's safe for everyone to do so.
Why?
I personally know two people who've died from Covid, one in her 40s, one in his early 50s. Another one who used to be very fit and healthy who was infected eight months ago and can no longer spend more than 10 minutes in the garden before he's utterly exhausted - he's 42. And a 30 year old guy who spent four days feeling like a car was parked on his chest. Those are four people I know, all previously fit and healthy, and relatively young, and my social circle is small. Two are dead. One looks like he's fucked for the rest of his life. All of these people were careful, but not careful enough.
Thanks, but if a few selfish folk want to make themselves willing victims of Darwinian selection, I'm happy to let their stupid and arrogant behaviour result in them perishing and not passing on their genes. Sadly, they will kill others either directly, or indirectly through filling hospital beds, who are trying their utmost to keep safe. That alone is what I object to. It's not like we've not been here before multiple times in our history. Thankfully, each time a few more of the name callers and vain attention seekers are removed from our gene pool. At that point they also stop endangering the rest of us.
Ignore them, don't respond to them, and leave them, the tiny but overly vocal minority, to extinguish themselves voluntarily.
We've shifted from survival of the physically fittest to survival of the mentally fittest. They've just not caught up yet.
That's how nature works, but some people *think* they know better.
Natural selection cannot be beaten.
It's bigger than any one of us, never mind how gobby, arrogant, immortal or self important we think we are.
Best to respect it.
