As Josh posted in his daily thread most countries are seeing numbers going down, so this is a reminder that the virus is On Top of the World:

Again the issue of safety vs money comes into play:

Mountaineers and authorities at Everest base camp in Nepal have told the BBC they are seeing rising numbers of climbers with Covid-19 symptoms and rising numbers of positive tests, raising fears of a serious outbreak.

Base camp officials said they had received reports of 17 confirmed cases from hospitals in the capital Kathmandu, where a number of climbers have been sent from the base camp and higher camps to be treated.

.....

The Nepalese government has so far denied having any knowledge of positive cases at Everest base camp, raising concerns that officials are downplaying the extent of the situation out of fear it will bring more pressure to close the mountain to expeditions.

Foreign climbers are a major source of revenue for the Nepalese government, which shut Everest last year during the pandemic.

DJ-Also has video..Nepal has close a population of close to 30 million, [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathmandu[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathmandu has 1 million + with lots of people now fleeing the city to avoid the virus spreading the virus...

The Himalaya is also vulnarable to earthquakes, waterproblems..
