Yes, the message is clear: humans are pattern seeking animals & subject to confirmation biases which reinforces narrative beliefs and specifically conspiracy theories. Hope that helps.

So shocked about the news about Michael Mosley. He was a foundational pillar of the BBC science unit as an exec producer and later as a presenter. He always had helpful and supporting advice for me when I starting out. Dreadfully sad news.

SOCIAL DISTANCING GRIPE: Couples. I know you want to show the world you love each other very much, but when you walk/run side by side, hand in hand, you're TAKING UP ALL THE PAVEMENT and I'm bored of being the one who always makes the effort to give you a wide berth <gripe ends>
Could you go for a run or a cycle 🚴♀️ 🏃♀️ in the early morning or evening when parks and public spaces are quieter? These spaces get busy in the middle of the day, so it can be hard to stay two metres apart
