Perhaps Bojo should send one to everyone. Cheaper than other tests.

Interestingly there seems to be a midwinter dip every year, in that the five-star averages disappear between December and April ish.

Unless that's just people getting candles they didn't like for Christmas and then going on Amazon to write a review for some reason.

I've stopped saying "pardon" when I fart, I just tell the wife I'm doing a health check on her.

That's a good way to ensure that it won't be covid that you die of.
having that swing is a necessary but not sufficient condition for it meaning a thing

It was suggested for somewhat comical effect that the number of Amazon reviews complaining that Yankee Candles don't have any smell, mirrors the current rate of Covid infections.

Now it has been demonstrated fairly robustly that this is in fact the case.
