That sounds likely. Did they send you a copy? [2020-06-03 16:37:09] [Eddie Holmes] I got that as well. No paper. [2020-06-03 16:38:10] [Kristian Andersen] Yeah, no paper - so I had no idea what it was about [2020-06-03 16:39:13] [Eddie Holmes] Apparently, as UKIP health spokesman he literally argued for policy of re-allowing smoking inside pubs. [2020-06-03 16:40:07] [Eddie Holmes] "Dalgleish stood in 2015 for Parliament as a UKIP candidate". [2020-06-03 16:43:47] [Kristian Andersen] Sounds like he's a real expert then. Good. [2020-06-03 16:50:03] [Kristian Andersen] Ehm, can somebody please point me to the part of the paper where they prove this virus is not natural? I have a hard time finding it... [2020-06-03 17:47:21] [Eddie Holmes] We need to see the 'original' paper. That one says nothing at all. [2020-06-03 17:48:11] [Kristian Andersen] I suspect we'll be disappointed... [2020-06-03 18:06:38] [Eddie Holmes] It will be mental though, and hence enjoyable. You need to watch Dalgleish in this video - such a nutter: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/election-2015-32522124/election-2015-health-debate-ukip-on-park-smoking-ban [2020-06-04 00:25:57] [Eddie Holmes] Perhaps more credible than this paper I was just asked to review? *Influenza virus-flow from insects to humans as causative for influenza seasonality* Virus biomass outweighs human biomass, and insects biomass outweighs human biomass. Insects are regularly habited by viruses as well as humans, humans are further inhabited via insects. A model of viral flow is described and specified to explain influenza virus seasonality, which, in temperate climate, usually evolves when insects have mostly disappeared. With this hypothesis a coherent description of regular seasonal influenza and other seasonal respiratory virus infections in temperate climates is possible. The incidence of influenza under different circumstances e.g. temperature, humidity, or tropical conditions and different aspects like synchronicity of infections or in respect to evolutionary conditions do sustain this hypothesis if the behaviour of insects is considered. [2020-06-04 01:20:31] [Andrew Rambaut] I had that one!
