(7,220 posts)when our healthcare system becomes overwhelmed like it did in Italy. And with the Covfefe Virus in charge, that is looking increasingly likely.
So. If there are going to be Trump-induced death panels, the criteria for who gets treatment has to be based on one's value to society. This little shit-head, and thousands like him on the beaches and elsewhere last weekend, proves that youth does not automatically equate to social value; and in fact, his cavalier selfishness is a direct threat to humanity at this moment.
(Never thought I'd be saying things like this. But this is where we are.)

(2,970 posts)One must eliminate oneself from the gene pool to win a Darwin. (Yesterday, it went to the AZ man who ingested fishbowl cleaner because it contained chloroquine.) Not sure about the veracity of the tweet, either.
Nominees significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race in an obviously stupid way. They are self-selected examples of the dangers inherent in a lack of common sense, and all human races, cultures, and socioeconomic groups are eligible to compete. Actual winners must meet the following criteria:
Reproduction
Out of the gene pool: dead or sterile.
Excellence
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Self-Selection
Cause one's own demise.
Maturity
Capable of sound judgment.
Veracity
The event must be true.
...
Not a Darwin (but not safe either)
* Whizzing on an electric wire
* Smoking in an oxygen tent
* Being hit by a train or automobile
* Aerosol cans, etc., in the oven
* Climbing into zoo cages
* Falling off precipice while posing or pissing
* Carbon monoxide poisoning
* Most autoerotic deaths
* all too common!

Hav
(5,969 posts)and this isn't the first thread I see about this absurd challenge. I'm not that old but in my youth, the people might have joked about something stupid like this. I would have never imagined you could find idiots who then actually do this nonsense to get some clicks and internet fame.
Edit after reading some replies on Twitter, I saw some important points: He takes up a hospital bed and would likely receive preferential treatment should they run out of life-saving resources. His actions might have very tragic consequences besides being infected himself.
