Will nobody think of the vulnerable people? Is it “wait for a drug” or is it “find the biological anomalies before trying to address them” Paul?

It’s probably going to pass so that is useful.

There’s a lot which is curious about the story, but firstly why couldnt he just have had Post-Viral Fatigue? There’s no shame in it, and with C19 being new, and quite overpowering in its first wave there’s even less shame. He is literally an epidemiologist. I guess there’s no headpats or clout...
