Ground Zero Idiocy

Only time will tell, however given the unfairness of Darwinian theory of natural selection these yoofs by their actions could possibly have established themselves inadvertently as the genetically successful.

how gutting would that feel?

Nature would have already placed the circumstances to enable that to be the case or not.

 

It would then depend on numerous pieces of chance:

 

1) that they would decide to do that 

2) that one of them is carrying the virus

3) that they exchange bodily fluids carrying the virus

4) that nature’s design within them so far takes the virus to sufficient a level that it effects them enough to build immunity without being in too bad health as to be too affected

 

All 4 combined would result in a specimen suitable for evolutionary natural selection

But they still have to find a mate, breed, have their Covid survivor genes dominate their mates, and protect their young offspring in life long enough to get to another generation.

They also need to avoid anything else happening such as walking under a bus.

 

Natural selection only works as one factor and a whole chain of events need to align

True

my point being that all of the above is unfortunately down to chance, the negative light these yoofs are being portrayed in, however justified, does not exclude them from being successful genetically. Their reckless behaviour may even be the determining factor that succeeds where a responsible person who avoids the virus and does not develop immunity does not.

On the subject of covid precautions etc, my 85yo mother in law fell ill yesterday, with what first presented as a possible stroke, so ambulance called, upon arrival the crew were insistent that she needs to attend hospital, even though she had started to show signs of recovery, but they insisted it could be a warning of an "imminent neurological event", but assured us that she'll be safe at Kent & Canterbury hosp, as all covid cases are being sent to William Harvey hospital in Ashford.

So she reluctantly agreed to go, on her own because of covid precautions.

Over two hours later we finally managed to get through to her mobile, only for her to tell us that she'd been dropped at William Harvey hospital, left unattended in a waiting area & surrounded by other patients, most of which not wearing any ppe & definitely not following social distancing guidelines, at one point she literally had a guy sitting so close he was touching her arm.

& Throughout this no members of staff attended to her to ensure the forewarned "neurological event" wasn't about to happen.

Add to this Ashford has the third highest infection rate in the country by capita, so not somewhere you want to end up if your sick.

Needless to say we were furious, covered the 22 miles to the hospital in about 15 minutes - dragged her out, after throwing a few fucks in to the staff there, not something I would usually do but we were furious, we've been taking every precaution to keep family members safe, only to have them put at risk by lazy & incompetent staff.

Sorry for the rambling post, but the moral of this is if we can't trust the hospitals to do right by us, how can we trust money motivated Airsoft sites to do the right thing 😠

 

I've been telling all my family to say home too, really sorry to hear that they did that after assuring they would not.

Hope she has fully recovered.

Thank you Seth, she's doing ok, hope you & yours are coping too.

Personally I'm not prepared to relax our own personal precautions until the daily death tolls hit single figures, fuck what MPs are saying.
