Covid-19 and Climbing Everest

Post by LosDosSloFolks »

This story is from a hiking guide in Nepal recounted to a writer in 'Condé Nast Traveler'. “There’s no way to abide by social distancing while climbing”...
He can't work his other job either guiding on Mt. Rainier due to the lock down of Washington state. His mention of how relief is being handled lends credence to the old axiom that "foreign aid is sending money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries".
