Send your positive energy to this absolute mad lad, so that he can continue to flip the bird to COVID in badass fashion.

I don’t blame him for this. Call me cynical but I don’t know any elderly person who wants the stress of flying abroad, particularly a transatlantic flight, and I can only imagine dragging him on that plane was merely a prerequisite of the family getting a free holiday.
It’s exactly that, the family have been living on the back of his publicity
Nobody should be holidaying presently, regardless of who you are.
I'm fairly certain that his family aren't all 100 years old...
They are laughing at the absurdity of the situation, not at a 100 year old WW2 vet getting covid.
I get what you are saying but if he got covid because of that holiday then he pretty much gets no good will from me. The number of people currently hospitalised because of covid is staggering, and now we have another person in hospital because someone needed a holiday.If lmao is your reaction then I guess you’ve lived a perfect life so far, so you’ve earned the right. Thumbs up to you
He shouldn’t have gone abroad, but show an ounce of compassion for someone who’s probably close to death.
This feels like banging my head against a brick wall...
Yep and yet people still refuse to understand why everyone is mad when people do so. My sister has a rare genetic disability, she has had it all her life and my mum has had to take care of her fully for 44 years. Her body is wasting away and her mind is that of an 90 year old with dementia, a simple cold could kill her and doctors expect she only has a year or two left with us. Yet she and my mum have had to be locked inside their house for almost a year without being able to see family or friends because selfish ass fucks refuse to understand that just because they don't care for the risks and they are bored at home, that it's totally fine for them to go and and whatever they want. My sister has literally wasted a year of time she had left with the family where we could be doing stuff to give her some last happy memories because of selfish fucks so I don't have any sympathy at this point for anyone who doesn't care for others who they are keeping isolated through their selfish attitude.
It was disgusting he even had to “raise money” for the NHS. The NHS is not a charity. The Tories are scum who barely fund it and it and were using this to normalise that idea.
Where’s it say that? The only stuff I’ve read is he got it from being in hospital with pneumonia
No, most likely he caught it in hospital when recovering from pneumonia as suggested in the article linked to in the OP.
It was dumb as fuck to do it, and it makes for nice bait-worthy irony, but there is no evidence of that.
COVID-19 is in the running for the absolute worst way to die, though.
When people take these risks, they’re not risking their own health they’re risking everyone’s.
But he didn't have covid or contracted it during his trip. He got it apparently while hospitalized if I read correctly
So? You step outside your front door and you are a potential vector for this virus to spread. You go to Barbados and you’ve got far more chance of coming into contact with more people to spread. No he didn’t contract it on holiday, but nobody in that family knew they wouldn’t, and that they wouldn’t pass it on.
Edit: I mean yea his family sucks ass and no one should be vacationing right now I do agree
But he didn't spread it did he? He took a vacation month ago. He got it during his treatment for pneumonia in the hospital. Complain about the hospital not doing enough to protect their patient instead while he was in their care.
He didn't catch it during vacation, I won't criticize a old man taking a vacation with his family and not spread COVID but sure go off with this take.
this is not equivalent,
They are not saying people who step outside are all in the wrong... they are a saying you risk becoming a vector every time you do, and trips like this increase that risk massively.
