We don’t know ... it was an hypothesis: a possible explanation for an observed phenomenon.

I like the alien theory

Took a couple of David Icke fans to his gig at the Edinburgh Festival a couple of years ago

They seemed to be thoroughly decent and sensible people

I have - it's carp. They should be struck off. Early on Dr. Stella Immanuel explains how the effect Hydroxychloroquine has on hiccups proves the drug is effective against Covid-19. Seriously flawed logic.

"America's Frontline Doctors" are a right-wing group not frontline doctors! Members have controversial political and personal views. The main medical agenda of the group is promotion of the anti-malarial drug Hydroxychloroquine, prices of which rocketed after being recommended by President Trump.

Unfortunately Hydroxychloroquine since been shown to have no beneficial effect on Covid-19 patients. The UK's Recovery Trial (1542 patients given the drug) concluded:

'The results showed 25.7% of people taking hydroxychloroquine had died after 28 days. This compared with 23.5% who were given standard hospital treatment.'

Not all doctors are trustworthy. I'd cheerfully leave this lot to the tender care of Dr Harold Shipman!

I'm so looking forward to the upcoming 'How did we end up here?' thread.

Amazed by those figures and still surprised after 20yrs here to note the lack of traffic on the roads in this area, I checked the pop density of our department, the 2nd least densely populated in France, to find it is 29/km² or if my maths is correct 11.31/mile². Small wonder it seems quiet, even compared to Wales. Mind you living in a village pop=156 it's always going to be quiet.

Just to compare with Hopper's locale, Queensland is 2.5/km² !
