So you've climbed over the safety barriers and have approached the edge to get a photograph, how can you not be aware that it's a bloody great drop and decide to be careful?  noooo:

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

'A 30-year-old man died of coronavirus in Texas this week after attending a so-called "Covid party".
 
Dr Jane Appleby, chief medical officer for Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children’s Hospital in San Antonio, said that the unidentified man’s last words were: “I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it's not.”
In a recorded statement, Dr Appleby said that the patient told nurses about the party which she said was hosted by someone diagnosed with coronavirus.
 
“The thought is people get together to see if the virus is real and if anyone gets infected,” she said.'
