So, like, a couple of weeks ago there was a news story that like 14 or 17 people–including children–were poisoned by over-chlorinated water in a lazy river. They had to go to the hospital and they all had a really bad time.
Someone suggested that maybe someone had an accident in the water, and the staff poured in a bunch of chlorine to clean things up the lazy way. And they added a bit too much and it poisoned everyone.
My brother showed me what looked like a water park in China and there was a MASSIVE amount of people crammed inner tube to inner tube. And ignoring the possibility that someone might have COVID…
I’m not sure what would be a worse situation. That you’re in a stagnate pool like in China, everyone kicking their feet and splashing around, and someone has an accident. Or if you’re in a lazy river and you’re in the middle between other people so you can’t get to the edge quickly… and you see the disaster headed toward you through the water.
Both seem like hell on Earth to me. Swimming in feces would be horrible. Swimming in someone else’s feces would be 100 times MORE horrible. And to be trapped in a crush of bodies while the water becomes visibly polluted…
Yeah. No thank you.
